Rich media, as in media that one can interact with.
Currently we are pausing video to allow for commercials and transitions to run; this is why we are using two players. If we used a playlist we would have make the content provider cut his material.

Thats how we run the commercials on our site. we basically do a simple cut and fade then insert the comercials.
also we use a nameing convention for it. the first segment is called 1.wmv 1comercial.wmv then 2.wmv 2comecial.wmv........
works great.
What I'm trying to figure out is how to get a show to start unicasting even to noone at 1:00pm so that if someone clicks the link at 1:15pm they missed 15 minutes of the show....
any ideas?

No, you can't do this in unicast mode, since recorded media is served "on demand".
In multicast mode, you could serve files in "live" mode, but that does not work via Internet (LAN only).
The simple idea I have is - create a live source attached to VCR, and play back some commercial movie.
This is your "live" commercial, TV-like, what you want.

Yeah that is what we are doing now, but then we can only get three max channels running on one computer and the hardware cost is very high, 1 dedicated computer, 3 dvd changers, 3 video capture boards. it just seems there has to be a way to do it from a .wmv file...
I was thinking that maybe the media server could start to stream the files in alpha order to noone, and when someone connects it just puts the stream to them, if another connects it just dups the stream to them and so on. It sounds so simple but maybe it's not..

Because ISPs that control Internet routers, prohibit Multicast.

hum.. okz.. but with a Darwin Streaming Server, MULTICAST over Internet it is functioning.
The steps that I made:
1. Compress and hint your media file(s). If you have mulitple files for a
single playlist make sure that all the files use the same encoding, sampling
rate, compression, and bit rate. Test the individual files by accessing the
files for video-on-demand. For example:
rtsp://<server address>/<relative path>/Towers.mp4
2. Once the media files are posted and tested for video on demand, create
the playlist. Usually it is best to use the web admin gui to create and manage the playlist (less prone to errors). Start the playlist
and test access:
rtsp://<server address>/<relative path>/<playlist name>.sdp
3. If the playlist is functioning properly it can be the source for a relay
(to other server(s), multicast address, etc).
At the "Relay Settings", I added a new relay with the following settings. Source IP: 127.0.0.1, Mount Points: /usr/local/movies/thinkpad_mcast.sdp,
Request Incoming stream
Destination IP: 224.10.11.12,
Relay via UDP base port: 9000,
Multicast
TTL: 4
I like very much the UMS. I Obtain to make something it type with it? |

I don't think so.
Destination IP: 224.10.11.12 - that's the multicast group address on your closest router; suppose you have some internet user that wants to see this stream - ALL routers between him and you MUST enable multicast.
And of course, ISP routers do not.
