There is a streaming server called Elsa, it's on FreshMeat. It runs on Linux/NT and maybe a few others. I've tried it on both, it's a bit flakey on NT but works fine on Linux. I quote: "The ELSA Server serves streaming media using standards-based RTSP and RTP Internet protocols. The server interoperates with streaming clients that support RTSP and RTP, such as QuickTime 4.0 and Java Media Framework (JMF) 2.0. It can currently serve media from QuickTime 4.0 "hinted" files which transparently support multiple media formats, e.g. QuickTime, AVI, MP3, WAV, AU, etc. The server can also work in conjunction with an RTP-compliant broadcasting application to serve live broadcasts." http://streaming.entera.com HTH Phil phil.harris@zope.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Christopher Petrilli" <petrilli@digicool.com> To: "Nemeth Miklos" <nemeth@iqsoft.hu>; "zope" <zope@zope.org> Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2000 11:59 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] Video

Is it possible to serve video content with Zope?
I suppose it's POSSIBLE, but wouldn't be a good idea honestly for a couple of reasons:
1) Video media is huge, many times dozens of gigabytes, this could easily bloat the object database to HUGE sizes, which might impact performance, it's an unknown with objects that size.
2) Streaming media often using protocols like RTSP, which we do not implement. HTTP isn't really appropriate for streaming.
Apart from RealNetwork and Microsoft is there any (preferrably multiplatform) solution for providing video over the Internet?
The other option is QuickTime Streaming server, which is available in source code form. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ Unfortunately, there's no players for Linux yet.
