Having a site written under ASP.NET MVC framework which alternatvies are there to integrate it with real-time video streaming?

I've heard about IIS Smooth Streaming. Also I've heard that it isn't a good way to use ASP.NET MVC here? How this gets resolved in a real world applications?

Thanks!

Environment (supposed..)

Windows Server 2008 R2; IIS 7;

But maybe it is possible to use some service on crossdomain, I mean on other platform which supports the kind of services..

  • I don't see how streaming can possibly affect a MVC structure to be honest. I never used IIS Smooth Streaming but it should be fine? – Pluc Aug 07 '12 at 17:24
  • As I understand it, ASP.NET MVC is server-side only. What you ask about is video streaming and that wouldnt be the script/language of the site, but rather the data-streaming services running. Which IIS version are we talking about? which Windows server edition? – BerggreenDK Aug 07 '12 at 22:22
  • What exactly is your question here, If you want to get started on how to do your streaming, [you have a question here on SO](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/342774/how-can-i-stream-webcam-video-with-c) – Vamsi Aug 08 '12 at 05:52
  • Ok. I'll try to explain more precisely. I have a web application (`.NET` platform, `Windows Server`) and I want to let users watch real time broadcasted video using the mentioned/other site. My question is about broadcasting video and web sites more precisely. – lexeme Aug 08 '12 at 06:11

I've found this thing, similar to my question: How to implement live video broadcasting in C#?. Still searching for alternatives.

Why not using simply Vimeo hosting for your videos? https://vimeo.com/. It is not free for commercial purposes, but it is cheap enough and it allows high resolution video. Probably it is cheaper that handling streaming on your IIS if you have not a big big traffic ad sveral several videos.

  • The thing is that video should be broadcasted live. – lexeme Aug 09 '12 at 13:37
  • I don't think vimeo offers this type of service. However if you google: streaming video hosting you will find other hosting services that may solve your problem. I think that probably hostinbg is a better solution in most of cases, since video streaming require a lot of internet bandwitdth that you need to purchase if you try to stream yourself – Francesco Abbruzzese Aug 09 '12 at 13:54
  • I agree with you about bandwidth. – lexeme Aug 09 '12 at 14:04
  • About IIS streaming modes, consider some of them are not a standard and they works just with a silverlight player...but now html5 player compatibility is required. Don't forget to verify this if you decide to have your own streaming – Francesco Abbruzzese Aug 10 '12 at 09:08
