Hank -
I was thinking more than just VOD. I was thinking more of a way to
"mark" certain shows (episodes) then either store the custom playlist
(ie. my favorites) or yah right a DVR solution. I've got EyeTv along
with Titan TV and Toast (Mac) where I can pick a list of "regular"
broadcast TV shows and have them written to my Mac by a schedule I
create. Toast in this case works like a DVR.
So I'm brainstorming here on combining BOTH VOD and/or DVR capabilities
to a "Content Machine" like Red5. A DVR solution might be not a good
idea, but creating a "my favorite" list (custom personalized playlist)
so that when you revisit a site... your content of VOD is pre-selected?

But why not just do VOD? If you have scheduled programming then you
have to have a DVR type recorder, but if you have VOD then people can
watch when they want, right? Or am I missing something?

After playing with Red5 I have been thinking of some more
"out-of-the-box" ideas to utilize its' capabilities.
I wanted to throw some of these ideas out there.
There seems to be a growth in Web based "TV" programing like
ManiaTV (http://www.maniatv.com) which has regularly scheduled
"broadcasts" of shows.
So I was thinking of creating (in a prototype) a fictitious Web TV
station with regularly scheduled Red5 based streams of different
"shows". The idea is one could create their content, then put it
out on a Red5 server for consumption on a scheduled basis. I was
going to use opensymphony's Quartz to build a server side dynamic
scheduler of content.
The kicker here would be building a client based DVR or Flash
scheduler that a user could pick their shows to watch them later
. This seems like a great application that fits into Red5 sweet spot?
Am I reinventing the wheel? Thoughts?
