Simulated Live Broadcast

We're running a stream of a collection of videos that my
company has produced on our site. With Windows Media Services, it
allows us to do what's called a ''Simulated Live Broadcast'' where we
give it a list of video files, and it plays them in order (like a
playlist). The real benefit with it is that the video files are
''always playing'' even when no one is connected to the server, sort
of like on television. So, if I logon at 10:00, i see the beginning
of video 1, and if you logon at 10:05, you will be seeing the same
video that i am seeing, just 5 minutes into it. Sorry for the
longwinded description, just think of it as a television station
that is constantly broadcasting content. Anyway, we want to move
over to FMS, and we were wondering if FMS would support something
like this?



Thanks in advance for your help!

Sure... fms can do that. You'd define the list of files on
the server side, and play them across a server-side stream. Then
your clients would connect to that server side stream, and everyone
would be seeing the same thing regardless of when they
connect.Simulated Live Broadcast
