live or recorded videos?

[NitrogenHosting]

Well, I have made some cartoons myself =] and I have a lot of programes like the hustle and all which I can stream, but I want it to be live, like streaming SHOUTcast but with videos =]

[CDLewis]

Maybe get a sky plus box in.

Sort out getting the files from the harddrive to your computer. and show them the next day.

So you will have a 1 day delay on all programs but have the option to play them anytime.

People in different countries who only have access to the internet for TV will willingly pay and wait for this.

When i lived in spain i planned to do this because it was in such high demand but never got around to it i think its a goldmine and that you should give it a whirl

You can use Google ads too help out and you might shift a few slots and make an extra buck. But before you consider advertising try to tackle the bigger problem of getting the programs.

Good luck either way. All the support i can give really :D

[NitrogenHosting]

Would I need to buy a streaming server, like when you buy a SHOUTcast one ?

[CDLewis]

Im not sure but i dont see why you cant just host them elsewhere and embed them to your site to save bandwith etc..

Keep it simple and if it starts to work get a server and go full throttle

[NitrogenHosting]

Thanks for your support, you could come in handy, can you PM me your msn address for further revelations ?

I have a program now to stream video, this is just a cool venture I want to try =]

[Hayd93]

you broadcat the video via a normal shoutcast the program is on shoutcast forums it is easy to use i did a bit on a a small chanell we had erm the program is somethin N.. it is 3 letters then you also have another program and that puts things like on the news them banners on your screen and your tv channel logo at the top Vut a awrning it eats the broadcasters bandwith like something else.

Just get on the winamp forum and clcik on shoutcast vide and there is a big thing all about it

Thanks alot,

Next subject :

I have plenty of programes that I can stream. They are all in DivX format, anyone know how to convert DivX to wmv format.

[=gamemaster=]

erm, when u download divx, it should have a converter!

[NitrogenHosting]

You're the best ! =]

It sounds like a good idea.

Maybe make it like CDLewis Said,if you have sky you will know what "Any time TV is".Make it like that but you can watch the programs when you want and fast forward , rewind etc.

Maybe also add features like people can request programs for next week or something.

You could also make the site a nice layout.

I also think "TinternetTV" is a cool name lol.

[NitrogenHosting]

Like the name, cant afford a domain atm, spending too much in other places, I am going to make it so you can re-watch programmes, you can rewind and fast forward programmes, pause them and all, for the 1st month or 2 depending on how popular it gets, I might have a timetable e.g. 3 hours of shows, 2 hours of nothing and so on.

Maybe also some sort of user-system were you can add programs to your favorites?

Maybe even the "Sky Planner" were if your out and you dont record a program you can add it to that?

[NitrogenHosting]

Im going to have a TV Guide Of Course, I Might Create A Network, Where By Channel 1, 2 ,3 ,4 And people can rent a stream maybe, Not sure yet.

EDIT:

People will be able to sign up to the feed, where they are emailed the days programmes.

[Assassinator]

Yes sounds cool.:)

[NitrogenHosting]

Im basically all set, and ready to go !

EDIT :

Launch will be tommorrow at 08:00 GMT, Thank-you for all your help !

[NitrogenHosting]

Sorry For Double Post :

Will have to delay the launch show because the guy whos building the site isn't done as of yet.
Sorry.

[Hayd93]

just to say u do need to have a lisence and the permisson of the maker to broadcast movies and tv program like u see on sky and that u will only be able to broadcast stuff u have made it makes it clear on the nullsoft forums

[NitrogenHosting]

My team have made many cartoons and virtual programs, we are planning to show some very old movies, when I say old I mean, Jumanji Age Old.

[Tomm]

I recommend Windows Media Services for streming the video.

[NitrogenHosting]

If you start playing jumanji your breaking quite a few laws, just because movies are a few years old now doesn't magically release them from copyright o.0 You can just go and put other peoples intellectual property on your tv channels without licensing it or at least seeking the copyright holders permission...

Get some hosting from a datacentre in Uganda and then it's not illegal ;).

[Florx]

1 word JOOST.

and a sentance: That's not your domain - its one of my customers and you aren't having it.

[iCasino123]
