RE: Streaming with SMIL?

Hi Laure, 

The streaming of the videos included in a SMIL is possible.

 

The process is very simple. When you introduce a video in your SMIL file,
the url has to link to a video sited in a streaming server. For instance:

 

<video id="video1" region="video" src="
<http://212.89.1.8:8080/viewsource/template.html?nuyhtgm9uuz6CsoDreyennsfob5

79" type="video/vnd.rn-realvideo" alt=" - video 1 - " fill="transition"
transOut="dcha" transIn="dcha"/>
 
(SMIL can be downloaded from a Web server and the videos from a streaming
server)

 

I lead these services (http://www.canalestv.telecable.es
<http://www.canalestv.telecable.es/> , http://tv.lne.es <http://tv.lne.es/>
). Both of them have SMIL presentation with videos to be served using
streaming Tech. Take a look!!!

Asunto: Streaming with SMIL?

 

Hello!

My name is Laure and I am very interested in the applications of SMIL in the
multimedia world. I am specially interested in the streaming. For example,
if we want to send a smil presentation to several users (by mail or another
service) and we only send the SMIL file (not the video and audio sources,
that are supposed to be in the web), does the user need to download the
whole source files before playing? Or can they be streamed? Or both
solutions are possible? Is the streaming allowed or does it depends on the
player and the bandwidth connection? I know that you can use smil to do a
multimedia presentation with several sources that can be in different
servers, but I have been looking for examples and I have only found
applications where you have a folder with the smil text all the sources. 

Thanks.

Regards, 

Laure.
