Stream Types

In Wowza Media Server 3, MediaStreams represent an incoming or outgoing stream of video, audio or metadata. Wowza Server provides a mechanism for defining custom server-side MediaStream implementations or stream types. These stream types are configured using the Streams/StreamType property in the Application.xml file. The following table lists the more commonly used stream types and their intended use (for a complete list, consult the User’s Guide):

• default: Video on demand streaming of static Flash media, H.264/AAC and MP3 content
• record: Video recording
• live: Publish and play live video content (best for one-to-many streaming of live events)
• live-lowlatency: Publish and play live video content (best for one-to-one or one-to-few video/audio chat applications)
• live-record: Same as live plus content will be recorded
• shoutcast: Audio re-streaming of a SHOUTcast/Icecast MP3 or AAC+ audio stream
• shoutcast-record: Same as shoutcast plus content will be recorded
• liverepeater-origin: Origin stream type used by live stream repeater to deliver a single streaming using origin/edge configuration
• liverepeater-edge: Edge stream type used by live stream repeater to deliver a single stream using origin/edge configuration
• rtp-live: Re-streaming of an RTSP/RTP, native RTP or MPEG-TS stream
• rtp-live-record: Same as rtp-live plus content will be recorded

Supported Media

Wowza Media Server 3 supports the following media file formats: FLV (Flash Video), MP4 (QuickTime container) and MP3 content (see table below for common file extensions). To play video on demand content, the proper prefix must be prepended to the file name to create a stream name. For example to play the MP4 file mycoolvideo.mov use the stream name mp4:mycoolvideo.mov. The following table lists the more common file type prefixes (for a complete list consult the User’s Guide):

• flv: FLV (Flash Video – this is the default media type so the qualifier and the file extension can be omitted)

  Example: “flv:mycoolvideo.flv”

• mp4: MP4 (QuickTime container – .mp4, .f4v, .mov, .m4v, .mp4a, .3gp, and .3g2)

  Example: “mp4:mycoolvideo.mov”

• mp3: MP3 (.mp3)

  Example: “mp3:mycoolsong.mp3″

• smil: SMIL (XML files used to configure multi-bitrate streams – .smil)

Although I love my job I do get quite stressed. As I am always on the go or in front of a computer I find that my stress levels rise quite quickly. My work partner had joked that I need a stress ball but as it was a joke I never thought anything more of it. Last week I was so stressed and I felt like I needed something to break or squeeze I had realised that my friend in fact was correct – I needed a stress ball.

I decided to go hunting for a stress ball on the high streets. I thought they would be everywhere as only a few years ago they were all the rage. Obviously that is not the case anymore as I couldn’t find them anywhere. I came home unsuccessful and very disappointed.

I was sat at home in front of the TV and it suddenly dawned on me that if I use my favourite search engine I could find just what I was looking for.

I would recommend to anyone looking for a desired object whether it is a fashion item, gadget or home improvement to think of other methods of getting your product if it is not on the high street. You can often order over the phone and get it delivered or use the internet. With technology the way it is today you shouldn’t be without your desired product.

I am now de-stressed as I have a stress-ball sat on my desk. I look geeky little gadgets and toys!

My brothers birthday is just around the corner and I always dread this time of year. My brother is one of those people who you just hate to buy for. He only likes ‘in stuff’ which is easier said than done! The weirdest things can be in fashion which most sane people would think of as a random naff item. I decided that the only way I would get anything that he would feel was ‘in’ and that I felt wasn’t a waste of money was looking on a gizmo website.

After searching the sites I got a few ideas which I thought would be cool ideas.

I found a wicked thing called a voodoo knife set which was designed by an Italian. To be honest, even I liked it which says something! It adds some style and uniqueness to your kitchen- well until everyone else buys one too! Not only is it funny but I will be buying him something that is quality as it comes with a good knife set.

The other thing I thought would be a great gift for him was a squeeze banana. With a constant flow of deadlines looming it’s a get stress relief. ‘squeeze a banana, don’t go banana’s!’ is a great fun little toy!

Whatever I get him I may be getting another one for me! Before I know it my brother may think I’m cool! Possibly….probably not!

If you have a similar problem with a loved one why not give the web a surf and get a cool gadget!

Do you every find that all lads have a similar fascination when it comes to playing with toys? Whether it’s in regards to making things in DIY or whether it’s to do with gadgets and gizmos they just can’t stop playing. It’s slightly weird really. I find that not only is my husband terrible but my father and brother are very similar.

As I couldn’t decide what to get my husband for his birthday so I decided to get him a combination of DIY tools and projects to do and some gadgets and gizmos.

I went online and found some great tools at some very reasonable prices. Furthermore I was able to get them at a discounted rate with a voucher code and cash back option on a sight I had found. Even better was the fact that the site was a well known brand which meant I knew I was buying quality and if he did not like the presents he could return them easily.

I then went online again later in the day and purchased some great little gadgets for his computer desk for when he needs to occupy his mind with other thoughts. I must admit that some of the gadgets I loved so much that I fully intend to use them myself.

I hope he really enjoys his birthday and I cannot wait until he opens his presents. I’ve booked a table at his favourite restaurant as well so he will truly enjoy his birthday in style!

CSV Import Plugin

YouTube has to monitor the uploading of robots, spiders and offline readers which inflate the number of views of a video by automated systems and is against their policy and their terms of service. Tricks such as automated viewing will result in the video being removed or account closed. The YouTube dedicated streaming servers had to handle the streaming of two videos in August 2008 whose numbers had been inflated to 95 million views each.

There was a lawsuit by a company whose url is utube.com. Their site was crashing because millions of online searchers entered their url by mistake. In August of 2006 the site got 68 million hits in that month alone. On the reverse side of this, their customers are searching under YouTube and through impatience the company is receiving a loss of customers and credibility.

You Tube Copycats

Now there are YouTube clone scripts being used by adult video producers to set up a dedicated server environment for the porn industry amongst others. The scripts and instruction for installation is widely offered. You need to have a dedicated server or a string of servers and they provide the mplayer, mencoder, flvtool2 (flash), ffmpeg and ffmpeg-php. Or for a low fee they will install it all on your dedicated server. It is not recommended to try and run a clone script on a shared server or with shared hosting as it needs root SSH access, ffmpeg support and unmetered bandwidth.

YouTube has to have thousands of servers with fast processors. It has been reported that google spent 1.5 billion on data centers to house their dedicated servers alone and that YouTube spends several million dollars per month on bandwidth. Dedicated server clusters are also required to back up files.

A Growing Website

YouTube hosts over 6 million videos every month and that figure is still growing. It takes 45 terabytes of storage. Wizzard and TubeMogul are video distribution sites that use their dedicated servers to instantly distribute, upload and tag your video to YouTube, Google, Yahoo, Revver and many more. Included in their service is their stats package which is apparently easy to install. Wizzard’s revenues for their 2nd quarter of 2008 were up 3% from Q207 at 1.5 million. A total of 250 million shows were downloaded from their dedicated servers in just this quarter.

With an increased interest in online video from the mainstream advertising community the sales of Dedicated Servers is increasing as well. Stargate Holdings reported a 75% jump in sales in their first quarter last year.
