MetaBUG Streaming

Hello Ross and the MetaBUG list,

http://metabug.org/news/video-streaming-update/

As noted in the link above, Jason has been working on getting streaming
together for MetaBUG. Brad has been working on getting VLC on OpenBSD
to us the liveMedia libraries from Live555 for RTSP (Flying Raichu)
support. So far, so good. I've also cc'd Ross Finlayson of Lieve555
because I figured he'd would want to know about MetaBUG, particularly
the streaming side of things. He's the person responsible for
Live555/liveMedia and might be interested in the trickle down network
effect of a bunch of folks starting to use his software to view (if not
broadcast) user group presentations. -just a hunch.

Jason, other than saying you've got streaming working on a well
connected system, you were unusually sparse on details. Without the
hows and whats, there's no way for people to look into the possibility
of helping to share the load (and costs). In other words, mirroring of
archived presentations and/or live feeds.

Is this something worth investigating or did one of you win that big
$350 million dollar MegaLotto? ;-)

The claimed operating costs of the user supported Internet radio station
SOMA-FM (somafm.com) in San Francisco, CA USA is $15,000 per month, and
they only offer 11 channels of audio, no video. Sure, you may have a
smaller audience than popular music but it might give you an idea of
the direction your expenses are heading.

kind regards,
jcr
