How to run live stream from your website?
Hi..I was wondering if any of you could help me with this. I want to run .mp3 audio as a live stream from my website. I don't want it to download the .mp3 first and then run it. I just want it to play live stream in real player or any other player on my website? Do I need some kind of code to put on my webserver? Please help me in this regard.
Thanks.

If it's a "live" Stream then it means being created and broadcast.
Meaning you'd need to remotely serve the content from your desktop.
It wouldn't be on your website persay it would merely be relayed from your website.
The four big names in Live broadcast are
windows media
shoutcast/winamp
flash remoting.
real media
In both win media and flash remoting it is possible to embed a page with streaming
(not sure about how real handles this stuff I hate real)
In shoutcast one needs a separate app (most popular winamp) to recieve the broadcast it won't play in browser.

frets you are wrong, it is possible to use a web based streaming audio aplication
doesnt matter if the station is a shoutcast station, you can embed a windows media and rename the playlist to m3u
ie: common url to stream: www.myshoutcast.doh:8000/listen.pls
it will be www.myshoutcast.doh:8000/listen.m3u

I cant tell for sure. But, it sounds like what you are meaning by live stream is just something that plays before it finishes loading. Flash does that well with mp3's or video (flv).

Can we also use coldfusion or something to make a live streaming music? I heard that coldfusion also does this. I am not sure about this though.

I use a programme called Sorenson Squeeze for converting MP3 and WMA files into FLV file format.
You do need the Dreamweaver plugin to add the FLV straight to the page but you can also import straight into flash I think!!!! not tryed it yet!
An example of a video streat I done is www.JestersSnooker.co.uk just click on the button that depicts your connection speed.

Also, it is Flash Communication Server you'd be using for streaming media, not Flash Remoting.

You can also use some action script to call one flv file after another or random like a jukebox
We have several players that work with video and audio
Take a look at http://www.videospark.com
