How to do live video streaming using PHP?

Hi, I found an answer on this blog to your question, I hope this helps: http://gonzalo123.com/2010/09/20/live-video-streaming-with-php/

my suggestion is to use ustream, justin.tv or a similar server to save yourself a ton of time/headaches/resources.
These people have spent millions on their infrastructure and I suspect if you arent sure where to start, you should just use a freely available service.

Contus Vplay can get these things done for you.

Live Streaming:

Powered by Wowza media, Contus Vplay let you stream live videos with software-enabled transcoders.

AWS Cloud:

With AWS cloud support, you can scale adaptively and leverage on added advantages like CDN set up, caching techniques, data archival, retrieval, transcoding and other cloud enabled IT infrastructure.

My suggestion is to go for StreamHash, a private streaming service to save yourself a ton of resources. For any video streaming related Websites/Mobile apps, be it like Netflix/Youtube /Live streaming, they provide solution for all these business ideas.

You can go with 3rd party services ( You tube , ustream ,...
) If you manage to do it your self , my suggestion is to go with Red5 streaming server please check the following links : http://www.red5.org/ http://code.google.com/p/red5-flex-streamer/ http://creekcodes.blogspot.com/2010/07/using-php-with-red5.html
