Hello,
Is there any way to stream videos based on a time schedule? For example, I'm looking to play one video at 8 am, another video at 10 am, etc. and everyone who views the stream will be at the same point in the video, regardless of when they loaded it.

    Create a stream on the server side based on the time of day (use the date object on the server side) and play the file you want. Then when a client connects up, have them play the stream that the server is playing.

    This seems to be a common request on this forum.... here's a link to an article I wrote that does that for MP3 files on FMS. Same idea, just use FLV files:
