RE: VIDEOLAN Video Over IP - enterprise solutions?

["Mark Harrison" <Mark.Harrison@xxxxxxx>]

Yes, it was me :-)

Unfortunately, I don't have a working server :-( Only a working client.

VideoLan doesn't have the management capabilities I need.

Regards,

Mark

[ukha_d] [OT] Logging hours online?I have been streaming ripped dvd's
and
dvd's of my lan for a while up until a few weeks ago, when my harddrive
fragged itself :(
I was  using "videolan" google search should easily pull it
up, spend the
budget on hard labour and overtime :P

I am sure someone else is using videolan on ukha_d somewhere i heard i
mentioned, if they read this, could they send me their server/client
config
files as It took me a while to get mine working, and i can't remember
how
now :(

Thanks

Hi all,
Have a potential requirement here to give "video on demand /
streaming
video" for a network of about 200 users as follows:
1: Limited number of "broadcast" channels - e.g. Sky News, BBC
News 24
2: Some "video library" features - e.g. training videos
3: Some "live in house broadcasts" - e.g. Chief Exec's
speeches
I have said that, realistically, we want one "receiver"
permanently tuned
into each brodcast channel (ie ITV Digibox on BBC News, Sky box on Sky
News)
etc.
I also think that the "ripping any videos to HDD and storing them
on
dedicated server" is a good idea.
I have the ability to roll out dedicated client software if needed, but
would rather use the standard XP Media player if possible. (XP Pro will
be
the standard client O/S)
I have switched 100Mb / sec to desktop, with a 1Gb backbone.
... now, I could build this all myself, obviously :-)... but the hard
part
is that we want something with "enterprise features" like..
... automated rollout of the "video library" to remote servers in
branch
offices.
... automated content caching of the "live in-house
broadcasts"
... possibly on-demand caching of the "external broadcasts", so
that if two
users in office B are watching channel x, then channel x only gets sent
over
the WAN once.

Any recommendations? ... have budget :-)

Mark
