Subject: re: Serving content/advt based on Geography
If I understand you correctly you want the type of song and advt
to be based upon the user location. If thats the case, then like
your cable company ;-), you will need different streams for each
location. A stream can only have multiple encode rates of the
same content via a RealServer using SureStream. But the single
stream can not have multiple content, ie rap and classical music ;-)
Regarding SMIL, you would use it as an interface to your audio.
Correct me if I am wrong anyone...

We want to customize our streaming content based on geography.
For e.g., when user A from California connects to the stream he will
hear song1, advt 1, song 2. whereas user B form New York connects
to the same stream he will hear song 2, advt 2, song 4 and so on...
(we are talking about SLTA or live streams here and not on-demand.
For live streams, we are talking about customizing advt. based on
geography.).
Its the same model your cable company uses except the streams are
distributed
by geography and so they can do it.
How does one do this using Real's streaming technology.
The only solution I have come up with is having multiple streams
one for each geographic region, but this gets to horrendously expensive.
I am not a SMIL expert. Can SMIL do this or are there any other solutions?
