Hello to the forum,
I may be too ambitious, then I found out this little streaming video server called Procast which can run on your own computer.
Let aside port and router problems that may arise between two Pc on the same Lan or only one pc hosting both HFS and Procast (or a web server) I’m looking first if the description underneath could suit HFS Templates ?
In any case, the use of Procast seems exciting when you look in a way to diffuse real time video stream such a Ip camera, DV recorder, TV card, webcam... (I'm sure you would all be glad to have a peek at the fabulous Alpes mountains from Lyon
)
Here is the brief description :
Two ways of implementation are possible :
· Integration of a direct video stream can be done through a direct link to the ip adress : it only consist of callng a video stream through hypertext link.
Exemple de code : <A href="mms://mon_ip:port">Read my video</A>
· Far complexe but far more interesting is to intégrate within the web page embed tags as follow :
ALIGN : RIGHT, LEFT, TOP, BOTTOM. BORDER : WIDTH : HEIGHT :
SRC : URL complete description of file location. In your case "mms://xx.xx.xx.xx:port"
ex : mms://82.xxx.xx..xxx: yyyy
- example for Real (rm) with <embed>
<embed src="video.rm" widht=320 height=240 autostart="true">

Windows Media : (.wmv / .wma / .avi / .mpg / .mp3 / .mp4) you mus have :
<EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="mms://my_ip:port"
WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" AUTOSTART="1" SHOWCONTROLS="0">
</EMBED>
Real (.ram / .rm / .smi / .mp4 / .mp3 / .mpg / .rm)
<EMBED TYPE="audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin" SRC="
http://myserver.com/media/video.rm"WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" AUTOSTART="true" CONTROLS="imagewindow" CONSOLE="video">
</EMBED>
Quicktime (.qtl / .mov / .mpg / .mp4 / .mp3)
<EMBED TYPE="video/quicktime " SRC="mms://my_ip:port?embed"
WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" AUTOPLAY="true" CONTROLLER="false">
</EMBED>
For automatic display you should indicate
AUTOSTART="1" for Windows Media
AUTOPLAY="true" for Quicktime
AUTOSTART="true" pfor Real
Procast is in beta version – and all in French ! – so that’s all I could get for now
Many thanks for your opinion
