[Zope] Video

[Phil Harris]

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."
