I just took over a job (spiritgrowth dot com) and I had a quick question... I now have to manage all the videos to sell. Right now they're using onstream media and paying like $600/month for live streaming and a storefront (ficam dot tv)

The way i'm making it now is i just uploaded all the videos (hundreds of them) to payloadz, $50/month for 50gb. With payloadz I can just grab the snippet of code that takes the person to paypal checkout with the video.

So ultimately what I want to do is be able to archive the videos on the website somehow and be able to easily manage/upload new videos, there are about 5 new videos a week that I have to put up for sale.

Any ideas and solutions would be great appreciated... thanks

Why not just run a dedicated Windows box and turn on media services?

It's simple enough to create an interface that reads the files and folders.

Could you go into more detail? I'm not familiar... thanks

More detail on what?

Media Service?

Developing an interface?

Windows hosting?

All of the above. I'm not looking to build a database for the videos or anything, i'm looking for a quick and easy solution.

But I guess what i'll end up doing is making a separate page and manually add the videos with the titles/descriptions/paypals button and then just embedding it in the body with php until i change all the pages to php so I don't have to update each page just to fix a navbar link.... which is how it's set up now

What do you think of that? Thanks

Windows Streaming Media.

We have a client who trains and sells racehorses and I wrote some ASP code that reads the files and folders then displays them as links, plus a text file named the same as the video can provide a description and other related text.

They were using OnStreamMedia to do that and have the capabilty of streaming live (ficam dot tv) but I simply don't know how to and the service they provided like i said in my OP was 600/month.

Do you know of any training guides to get started on it? Or even just a cheap service to merge the videos to?
