Real Player Or Windows Media

Mutt · 11-14-2002

people seem to have found their own methods of protecting Windows Media streams. It looks to me that many people have a script which on the fly changes the names of the directories where the files are stored, so that bookmarking an address is useless. LBBV of NatNet posted he has a solution like that for NatNet clients on GFY. Seems to work pretty well.

As far as PPV Gamelink uses WindowsMedia, so they've obviously done something in house.

Homegrown Video i think has been using Windows Media for a long time and have their own solution for protecting streams.

Adult webmasters lead the way where streaming media is concerned.

I have noticed people using Speedara - Cashquest is using it and SIC -
not that i know how much Speedara charges for bandwidth/services but it seems like an expensive way to go when there are other ways to go about it invented by adult web companies.

Helix sounds interesting. Real Media servers are annoying, they require typing in your username and password every time you request a stream.
