hey, just curious, does anyone know if live video streaming is possible on a
linux server? can't really affoard a dedicated server, so trying to get a
virtual private server, but all the ones i found only have linux, and well,
wanna use it to start a real, VIDEO based, tv station.

Thanks

Perhaps ask someone on a more... technical newsgroup. As far as I know
the only people who use Linux here use it for worldservers...

[View Quote] Don't see why not. I'd suggest asking a linux newsgroup on USENET or
your server provider.

It is possible indeed. Yet it would take work, for example, you can try
streaming with googling up on winamp video streaming or whatever.

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] You'd be better off just using a dedicated Windows box for that. You could
run a basic installation of Windows XP Pro and little more than stuff needed
for Windows Media on it (namely the Encoder).

Hope this helps :-)

Cheers for now :-)

Well, Windows XP isn't the best OS to use; he's asking help if its
possible to do on a linux box, because all he sees around are linux
hosts (yet there are windows server hosts, *cough* [me, but isnt
releasing any advertising info on extended ideas yet (top secret)] *cough*

There are servers though that are linux and stream video. They do it for
WINAMP.
