Hi everyone: Just the other night while looking for TVs (Of the SOFTWARE kind) on Download.com, I stumbled across a broadcaster program that allows you to stream EITHER live OR archived footage over their service.
The service is called Unbind TV and their website is @ http://www.unbind.tv/ What this service does is allow you to do what other sites either don't or won't. That is the ability to stream LIVE **OR** On Demand videos OF ANY LENGTH!!! And here's a nice cheesy part - YOU CAN EMBED A PLAYER ONTO YOUR WEBSITE!!! All you need to do is copy some HTML code from their site and paste it onto a standard web page. You can use a blog too, but you'd have to resize it though. The whole concept behind it is P2P Streaming, which means YOU upstream the video to their servers but THEY take the load so you don't have to. Now I already know what you're gonna say. That being that TVUNetworks and SopCast are WAY ahead in this arena. To that I say true HOWEVER (Unless this has changed) the embedded player provided by TVUNetworks is Java-based and SopCast doesn't even provide one. Unbind TV at least provides (What appears to be) a Flash-based player, but even that depends on the way in which you are streaming (I plan on using Windows Media, but it'll be on TVUNetworks). Unbind TV will take videos which are encoded in the AVI (Regardless of compression used), ASF, WMV or RM formats. Oddly enough, they don't support ANY form of MPEG or Quicktime formats (The latter which might rule out nearly half of this group). As for the streaming of FLV, I *think* it supports it, but am not sure on that either way. But you know what THE COOLEST thing I like about the service is? YOU CAN MAKE $$$ OFF YOUR STREAM!!! That's right - MAKE $$$. It's NOT a scam (They seem to legit as I checked it out MYSELF). They offer free stations as well as stations for pay (Including PAY-PER-VIEW!!). That all said, the tradeoff for some people here is being on the same service which many people who run PORN streams are on. But even with that, with the right promotion, the porn streams don't stand a chance! :) So GO OVER THERE & CHECK IT OUT - http://www.unbind.tv/ (No, I don't work for them or otherwise benefit by promoting Unbind TV here so my objectivity is still intact). Just figured I'd pass the word around about this site since it appears it hasn't been mentioned or otherwise promoted here already.
