mpeg streaming

Hiyah all

I am trying to make a low bandwidth viewer to connect to my video server. My video server exports multiple streams in mpeg/asf format. Id like to be able to watch these streams via the vb.net app i ahev written. I can watch multiple streams fine using jpeg streaming but when using mpeg streaming i need a way to interpret the stream. I have tried using multiple mediaplayer controls but they seem to randomly stall and then get out of sync. So ideally i need another means to watch a http asf/mpeg stream other than ms media player. I have searched for controls but all the api based contols i can find are designed for playing local files not streams. Does anyone have any suggestions

Thanks in advance

James

    James,

    You're doing fine as far as I'm concerned.

    There seems to be a missing post here, because there was a post by someone who really knew this area.

    We'll keep bumping this, but if you find another forum, that might be the place to go.

    This question doesn't fit this forum well. Try posting it in the multi-media newsgroup.

    Hi the video server is a linux gnu project called zoneminder and is a superb app. I have written app as a font end for it but would like to extend it to mpeg viewing. It basically uses ffmpeg as a streamer and can stream in vitually any format, but i feel mpeg is the one fow low bandwidth high framerate streaming. Would i be better of in a diffrent place then

    I tried asking a similer question and got no answers. I got question for jameswilson. How did you make your video server (or did you buy it online). Then I would like to know as well how to intergrade a streaming video into my app.

    No bugz...

    I think it's a excellent question for this forum although you're right there are other foums that specialize in it.

    I know I'd learn something were it to be discussed here.

    HI Renee, I dont understand by resource, do you mean i should try another forum, or that i have a resource as in the streaming app and what do i want to do with it. If its the first i will head over there, if its the latter, im looking for a way to pplay an mpeg movie or asf whatever in a non media player control. I have issues with media player when using more than 1 keeping the streams in sync. So i assuming if i dont use media player all will be ok ! SO ideally id like to stream the mpeg and play it in a picrurebox, etc etc. I think i need something called directshow but it seems its not that easy to use form vb.net

    Re linux. I am making a vb.net app that connects o a linux server. And i usually use CentOS or fedora. Red hat i eleive is charged for due to the way its supported but i have never used rhel
