You can configure HTTP streaming through following posts.HTTP streaming is a technique for transferring data.For streaming the client must be able to collect the data and send it as a steady stream to the application that is processing the data and converting it to sound or pictures. This means that if the streaming client receives the data more quickly than required, it needs to save the excess data in a buffer.

1 >Upload the audio/video file's in your server.File's can upload using an FTP program.

2>You will have to add the following code to the webpage,It would be done by web developer.
based on the type of file you are streaming:

HTML Code:

    *  Video streaming:  <embed src="mymovie.mpg" CONTROLS="imagewindow" CONSOLE="video" width="320" height="240" autostart="TRUE">
      </embed>
    
* Audio streaming: <embed src="mymusic.mp3" CONTROLS="audiowindow" CONSOLE="audio" width="200" height="100" autostart="TRUE">

Is it possible configure HTTP Streaming on VPS? Or one must consider Dedicated Server?

Hey HTTP streaming is that possible on VPS but we recommend Dedicated Server because you will need

he amount of resources to run audio and video files.If the data doesn't come quickly enough, however, the presentation of the data will not be smooth.

Hello dear friends,

I am web developer of a music portal in Greece. The url is musics.gr which is hosted in a LINUX server in USA.

My server is linux/php and I would like to know the steps to set up a streaming server in my hosted site in order to publish a real time web radio.
