I desperately need to set up audio and video streaming on my church website. I don't really understand what I should be looking for. I use c-panel with fantastico to maintain the site right now, but that doesn't help for live audio/video streams.

Is anyone knowledgable at all about this?

if you're streaming from youtube...aren't there embed codes provided (most of the time) in the same page as the video..
maybe that helps?

Thanks so much for the response. That would work for on demand video, but I need to stream audio and video feed live.

One way involves a computer thats always running and you will have to install Windows Media Encoder (free from microsoft google it) that can accept most video sources and do a transcode the video from source -> stream.

Alternative might be a web enabled camera depending on what you want to display. They are about $100 and have a built in web server so you can just link them. An example would be http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-Wireless-G-I...4686&sr=8-1

Then you will get something like this http://webcam.calstatela.edu/home/homej.html which is just a stream. Might fit your needs and be easier than running a server to convert and all that.

Google VideoLan, it has web streaming capabilities. Good luck. May the Force be with you.
