[streaming] Re: video on demand

As much as we would like to see it, I don't see many IP/TV operators
picking up on it.

When you have customers paying you cannot and will not accept the server
to be flakey in anyway. And to be honest they arent that expenisve -
anyone seriously intrested in deploying a commerical vod server will
have the cash for one.

Still I certainly would like to see a open source vod platform that
supports mpeg2-ts

I'm flabbergasted that there is no open source MPEG-2/UDP/IP with RTSP 
support VoD software. This is the format supported by many IP STBs 
today. How much work would it be to add support for this to for example 
Darwin or VLC? I'm sure there are plenty of IP/TV operators that would 
be interested in sponsoring this to avoid large investments in 
commercial VoD solutions.

Please contact me off-list if you are interested in seeing this become 
available.
