YOU'RE INVITED TO VIDEO @SCALE REMOTE EDITION

BUILDING DISTRIBUTED VIDEO SYSTEMS

Video @Scale is an invitation-only technical conference for engineers that develop or manage large-scale video systems serving millions of people. The development of large-scale video systems includes complex, unprecedented engineering challenges. The @Scale community focuses on bringing people together to discuss these challenges and collaborate on the development of new solutions.

 

This year, we will be hosting our Video @Scale event virtually.

This looks like a cool site. I think it's some sort or rss harvesting engine.

Make sure you read my article:

HLS: HTTP Live Streaming

Comparison of streaming media systems

I found an amazingly great comparison of Streaming media servers and formats on Wikipedia.

HLS: HTTP Live Streaming

Originally created by Apple, it works by breaking a video stream into a sequence of small HTTP-based file downloads, each download loading one short chunk of an overall potentially unlimited video stream. 


By using only standard HTTP transactions just like normal web pages, HLS is capable of traversing any firewall or proxy server that lets through standard HTTP traffic. This is very different then UDP-based protocols such as RTP.

This also makes it a little easier for Content delivery networks to implemented for any given stream since standard web servers can used to server live and recorded video now.

As the stream is playing, the player application can select from number of different alternate streams containing the same material encoded at different data rates, allowing the streaming session to adapt to the available speed of your Internet connect, known as Adaptive bit rate.

• “HTTP Streaming Architecture”—how the technology works, what formats are supported, what you need on the server, and what clients are available.
• “Using HTTP Live Streaming”—how to set up live broadcast or video on demand sessions, how to implement encryption and authentication, and how to set up alternate bandwidth streams. Links to sample streams are included.
• “Frequently Asked Questions”—common questions about HTTP Live Streaming, and their answers: format details, tips, where to go for support, and so on. 
• Best Practices for Creating and Deploying HTTP Live Streaming Media for the iPhone and iPad—step by step guidance in setting up a server and network for HTTP Live Streaming.

Apple submitted HTTP Live Streaming to the IETF in 2009 as a proposed standard. This is the latest draft of the RFC at the time of this article being written.  http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-06

Adobe added HTTP Live Streaming support to Flash Media Server. Last year Adobe came up with it's own HTTP-based streaming protocol HTTP Dynamic Streaming. The main difference is that its HTTP Dynamic Streaming uses an XML-based manifest file instead of a plain-text playlist file and the MPEG-4 fragment container format (.f4f). Also, it's only compatible with Flash Player and Adobe AIR.
