Question

Simulated Live Broadcast

We're running a stream of a collection of videos that my company has produced on our site. With Windows Media Services, it allows us to do what's called a "Simulated Live Broadcast" where we give it a list of video files, and it plays them in order (like a playlist). The real benefit with it is that the video files are "always playing" even when no one is connected to the server, sort of like on television. So, if I logon at 10:00, i see the beginning of video 1, and if you logon at 10:05, you will be seeing the same video that i am seeing, just 5 minutes into it. Sorry for the longwinded description, just think of it as a television station that is constantly broadcasting content. Anyway, we want to move over to FMS, and we were wondering if FMS would support something like this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Sure... fms can do that. You'd define the list of files on the server side, and play them across a server-side stream. Then your clients would connect to that server side stream, and everyone would be seeing the same thing regardless of when they connect.
