Thanks, It's live streaming. Let's say cable TV on the internet. So you can imagine. It's huge.
And thanks for mentioning mobile devices. I forgot about that. In the future, It would support mobile devices too. It's maybe multiple stream because I allow my users to share what they view too. This is to create a social network so they can invite friend and build larger user base. It's might be a bad idea but I have yet to see. My code is very basic just as minimal as getting thing works. So, what is the efficient way to manage RAM usage?
