JW Media Player - A Godsend For Flash Streaming
Written by Chris on November 18, 2007 – 9:25 pm -So, you want or need to stream multimedia content from your website; you don't have time or money to figure out or pay someone to figure out how to do what you need; and you need it to look reasonably pro.
Where do you go?
Well I'll tell you: You go here: http://www.jeroenwijering.com and download JW Media Player
It's a fantastic, versatile free piece of software you can just plug into any website and use to start streaming content right away!
The best thing however, is that it works really well alongside the Red 5 streaming flash server via the oflaDemo app, and as such completes the package of a free streaming flash solution that looks good and performs well.
Just remember, when following the examples of how to get it to work with at least true streams (i.e. not progressive downloads) give the mediaplayer.swf an absolute url 
If anybody needs help getting this to work with Red 5 feel free to drop me an email or leave a comment and I'll help you out

Your English is fine DIego - What university are you at?
I’d like to help you with this via comments to/from this blog as it may be a useful tutorial for other people as well
Do you have a dedicated server available?

OK, So what help do you need?

Chris, I don’t know how to make something like a playlist that plays live, like a TV channel that anyone could see at the same time. Could you help me please?
July 21st, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Are you just wanting to schedule pre-recorded programmes or do it live? Either way, a couple of basic PHP scripts to generate a dynamic playlist for JW Media Player would do the trick. I can help with these if you explain a bit more about how you want the ‘TV station’ to run.

Hi Chris, I want to stream live and pre-recorded programs. When there is a special event here at the University I’d like to stream it live, but most of the time there will be pre-recorded programs. Chris, thank you very much for your help and interest in helping me.
July 21st, 2008 at 9:23 pm
OK let’s start with a a list of pre recorded programmes then. Do you have some already or not if so can you email chris@coderchris.com with a list of urls to playing movies and I will mail you back some scripts before I post them here
