    Hi,

    Please suggest the best options for having streaming audio/video at the website without using dedicated streaming media server (I am not sure what that is !). I need information suitable for generally used shared hosts.

    For future references, let us try to build a comprehensive list of all available resources and alternatives and their comparisons.

    For a newbie like me, Google video or Youtube is the best option .... and may be esnips widget for audio streaming ! :D


    Thanks,
    Suman.

    Can't you use your own website for streaming videos?

    That is what I wanted to know ! I don't know any other alternatives right now and I cannot code for myself.

    Please guide me to available (preferably free) softwares for doing this. In Joomla CMS I have some flash based audio streaming tools, but I need something for general purpose and not for any specific CMS. Please help !

    Thanks ! I'll check it out. I am posting below a reply from other forum, just for reference.

    "well yes you can stream audio, but that depends on the server,
    Wndows/linux
    has PHP/Java/... etc., etc.,

    I would recommend you to get in touch with the Web Host's technical person.

    then you might opt for a paid software like the one from RealNetwork
    or an open source streaming software for Linux platform, if you have a dedicated server then this link might help you
    Tutorial on Audio Streaming

    some other useful softwares, links and keywords that might help you are listed below
    RIMPS (http://sourceforge.net/projects/rimps/)
    Netjuke (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Audio/Other-AUDIO-Tools/Netjuke.shtml) or (http://sourceforge.net/projects/netjuke/)
    SHOUTcast (http://www.shoutcast.com/)
    Icecast
    Supercast Streaming Audio Server
    streamcast, php-stream

    Check links like AMPache in Wiiki, Media Server"
