software which can stream any flv file


I know this is not programming related, but I have a scenario.

Each video streaming site has a flash video plugin and upon viewing the source I can find the link of the flv file it is streaming. Now I wanted to make an application or work on an existing one, where I can copy and paste the url of the flv file and it streams it for me. Something like an application which can stream flash videos for me.


Solution

  • On the client side you can use this flash application to render the flv (works on any flv file) http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/ . Needs a license for commercial use (quite cheap).

    On the server side you have to build an application which will stream flv files - but i guess that, if you want to use existing online flv files, you don't need this part.
