Finally a good demo of Adobe’s new HTTP based Dynamic streaming. Can’t wait to dissect this one a bit more. Here is more information about the new feature included in Flash Player 10.1.

Can’t wait to come up with an open source solution to this type of streaming.

So this month marks one year my wife and I have gone without a standard video service such as cable or satellite. I have to tell you it feels good to be unplugged and to be able to still watch good quality content online on our TV or Computer. I have to say at times it has been a challenge but overall the transition has been easy. The goal of disconnecting was being able to watch the shows we want to watch with out having to pay for anything. This causes some difficulties with some things such as sports. But if you can go with out or are able to find another alternative then you are set to go.

Here is my list of free online services I use most:

The only difficult part about watching shows online is getting the content to your TV. Some applications work better than others and so on. My favorite application to do this is PLEX. How ever if that doesn’t work for you then you may want to check out Boxee or XBMC. They both allow you to watch a lot of the online content from several sites using plugins that extend the functionality of the application. They also work great for any personal content you may use.

I like to record video. I like to watch it. I like everything about it. But what I really like about it is the technology behind it. Call me crazy but I love to figure out how to encode a clip or video and see how good I can compress it using different codecs. Maybe that’s why I love working where I work. Since I ‘m a Flash / Flex programmer I have been wanting to investigate different streaming solutions for flash and see what is available and what will work with my little at home project.

This little project I’ve been playing around with is trying to get my HDHomeRun (HDHR) to rebroadcast its live feed to flash. I’ve been investigating technologies like Red5, C++ RTMP Server and Flash Media Server. With anything that requires multiple pieces of different technologies. The hard part is integrating these different pieces together. Luckily the HDHR is open source. So that provides a lot of avenues for development. The only hard part is trying to get the MPEG-TS from the HDHR and convert it on the fly to something flash can use.

So far I haven’t been able to get any of the solutions to work. but as soon as I do I’ll post something here.
