[plumi-discuss] Fwd: live stream

[anna at engagemedia.org]

has this enquiry been answered?

i would say that we use mencoder within Plumi at present, which offers 
thumbnail extraction. here's a clue on how to do that:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mencoder-users/2007-February/005331.html

switching to use of ffmpeg (which also offers thumbnail extraction) 
wouldn't be so hard, within indytube yeah?

as for live streaming.. well you'd have to set that up separately (or 
additionally) i would have thought, though there is no reason why you 
couldn't re-implement the flowplayer on certain templates to accept 
live-streams from Red 5 (we have set this up before to handle video on 
demand streaming files as opposed to progressive download).

some comments here about setting up Red 5 and Flowplayer here for live 
streams:
http://community.flowplayer.org/node/854

(i'm sure there is much more documentation out there about this, should 
be easy to find).

anything else to add?

cheers,
anna
