And can I use Flash & Ajax together?

Well, this is a flash list... but that said, flash really is the only viable option. No one really uses java applets on the client side. And flash is built for doing exactly this.

Do you use Flash and Applets?On 7/6/06, hank williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote:Just to be clear, for what you are trying to do, a media server is exactly what you want. Your files are large and you dont want to have people downloading the whole file to listen to five minutes of something.
You should consider using Red5 which is all written in Java and is, as I understand it, a servlet. I would not use a database. You should develop a system that allows you to install your files where the files are assigned unique ID numbers and those numbers map to a record in your database where you can store whatever descriptive information.
I do something similar, and I actually dont store everything in one directory, but in subdirectorys based on the ID number. This is kind of a hashing thing for files just to give the file system a break by not putting a huge number of files in one directory.
The way your media server will work is fairly straight forward. Your code will say it wants to play a file at a given path, and the server will play it.

Hopefully I can somehow stream on-air shows, or concerts on location to the site. I also want to eventually hook up video from the on-site concert feeds.
I also want to use what I know, which is JBoss/J2EE/Java for as much as possible.
I just do not understand how this server will be hooked. But the explaination you gave makes sense from what the media server will do.
So, will I store media as flat files on my server or in my DB?
Will there be shared access to those files for things like administration of the media?
Do you have any achitectural diagram showing how all the pieces live together? Such as the communication from my Business objects to Red5, then how the streams communicate with my UI (Applets or Flash).On 7/6/06, hank williams < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:a media server FMS or Red5, allows you to fast forward, jump to a particular point in a file, and not download the whole file if the user starts watching. There are also intelligent things that can be done to serve the correct content based on the bandwidth. But a media server is not the right solution for every problem. Progressive download (what you call downloading from your server) is totally appropriate for lots of applications. It really just depends on exactly what you need to do. But if you arent missing any features its likely you dont need it.
