HTML - Streaming Video From Server

Im trying to create a site that will constantly update in real time based on my activity.
For example, if i update my facebook status or add a new twitter update at 5:30 then the site will add to the top of the list Robin updated her facebook status at 5:30. and the list will continue to build.

conplicated... but any thoughts?

thanks for the help.

I want to add a radio selector to my site...to allow people to choose what feed they would like to listen to. I have see a php mod which I could use from a phpnuke mod but I wanted it in simple html if possible.

I want a drop down menu with different station names, and when you choose one it loads the relevant stream in a media applet above/below.
If you go to my test page you can see what i mean:
http://vivalefrench.com/tester.html

But I dont see how to target the links to the media player?
I bought a cheap flash script that looks good but it doesnt work with asx files, I would have open them to look for the mms file and I dont want to overstep my mark as Im using feeds from another site. Not sure if I am allowed to do such a thing. So a simple html drop down menu to choose stations would be idea.
If you right click on the test page, you can view the source to see how its been put together..
There is always a solution but I havent a clue with it

Hello everyone. =)

I'm still very much a n00b when it comes to web development, so there's still a LOT I don't know how to do (and I can't even search Google very well, 'cuz I don't know the correct terms). That said...I apologize if I put this in the wrong section; I'm not really even sure where this topic belongs. =\

If you have any coding knowledge, or know a website that can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!!


1) I really like music, so I'd love to have an interactive Billboard music chart on my site. By "interactive", I mean "you get a list of the top 40 (or top 100) songs, and if you click the songs, you'll hear them play".

I'm thinking that, in order for this to work, I need to find a online radio site or something. But I know nothing about streaming websites...so I'm not even sure if there already is a "Top 40s Billboard" station, or a "Top R&B/Hip-Hop" station. And if those stations do exist, I don't know how to add them to my website. Would I need something called RSS/XML??? What do I do???


2) I want to add a sports ticker to my website. I'd love for it to be similar to this (I wish I could just pay them for the ticker, but I can't afford $130/month. So I'm wondering if there's a way to produce the same [or a somewhat similar] effect for free?):
http://sports.tickertech.com/

As you can see, the ticker is quite expansive. You can get info on national sports news (Michael Vick, etc.) and you can also get specific news based on individual sports teams (San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Tigers, etc.) You can also click on each individual link (located on the left side) and read more information on each topic; it's really really cool. <3

Is there anyway to reproduce this effect? If that ticker involves too much work, then how do I at least get the NATIONAL/MAJOR sports news for each sports category (NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, etc.) to show up?


3) Also, what's the best way to keep my sports ticker and music charts up-to-date (or even better, have it update by itself)? Would I need to use RSS/XML to do it???

Hello,

I am updating an old website with no media player. They had one but it became damaged. $25,000 right down the tube, (not my money!).

Anyway, if you look at the page I’m talking about... http://rockwindow.com/video_pages/viedo_01.htm

you will understand what I'm talking about. I used an image of the old player.

I was wondering if I was to use <map> attribute around the control buttons what the code would be for a link to do: play, pause & stop.

If you right click the video, those options are in the menu. How do I link to a code for a control like that. Any help, I will appreciate very very much. Thank you!

Hey all,

Is it possible to shut down video screen automatically after displaying the video?

I mean, after video is over, is it possible to hide the video screen?

( I tried to use embed tag...
<embed src="myVideo" autostart="true" /> ??)

Thanks,
Doron

Hey guys, I was wondering, that almost 90% of Video on the web is in flash. How will that video be converted into HTML 5. Also, are there any good HTML Video editing tools.

hello all and merry xmas,

my client needs a free/very cheap video uploading solution. he has an unlimited hosting account and a domain. he wants to create a website where he uploads daily/weekly sermons (30 - 60 min long videos) and can share it with the web.
i was thinking of
1. making video > uploading to his space via ftp > embedding in html form, but i dont think its best to leave so 'many' tasks for him to deal with on a everyday basis.
2. a blog e.g. blogger which will enable him to embed videos, but this means videos arent categorized.
3. free/very cheap video hosting. google video was a favourite but since it has shut down recently he cannot use it. THE EASIEST OPTION

are there any other ways of going about this?

he is a total beginner to internet and its programming aspects. any help appreciated

I would like to mount a nice looking video player to play videos on my multimedia page that is not Youtube Vimeo ect.. I am going to mount the player within an inline frame that is 600x375 and Ideally I would like it to fit that inline frame like a glove. What are some options for video players out there?

Im sure this question has been asked many a time so sorry for asking it again, i have my own web site and would like to add a video section were people can upload clips as well as myself, can someone give me the html code for doing this.

Thanks

Okay, this one is a tough one for me. On my website, Celtics Insider, where the picture of the banners are (right above the "About Us" and "Our History" sections), I want to change that image into a video. I want to have a video like ESPN, where it doesn't say "YouTube" or show any of that crap, just a little transparent "play" button (the image, not the text). I'm just wondering a few things. First off, how do I resize the video so it is 442 x 200? Also, how do I make it so the YouTube thing doesn't show up? And how do I make a little transparent play button to click on before the video starts? I want to be able to have text below as well with a link to the story, like ESPN does. If you don't know what I mean, look at ESPN: http://espn.go.com/

Hi,

I'm new here. I'm also a beginner web programmer so please take it easy on me. I've taken on a job where I need to embed a video into a webpage, I think I can figure out how to do that however my employer wants this video to be slanted. I have no idea how I would slant the video using HTML/CSS/DHTML. For an example of what I am talking about please view this website:

http://www.wavecam.com/

I am aware that the video on that site was embedded into Flash so I'm wondering if that is the only way to do this.

Thanks in advance for any help provided.
