You Tube streaming interface?

[daneo]

Hi All,

I was just playing with a new software for my Nokia called "MobiTubia" which is a Symbian front-end for playing Flash (320x240 Sorenson H263) videos.

I go to thinking that a marriage of the two technologies (GBPVR and the EWA providing the back-end, and MobiTubia providing the front end) could really take GBPVR to the next level.

After watching the 2008 EM using live stream with VLC (our office didn't have a cable connection) I wondered if the mobile phone interface might not make a great addition.

As far as I can see, the protocols that govern You Tube are Google open license (connect, get list & thumbnails, start stream) so in theory we would need:

1. The ability to provide You Tube like front-end for GBPVR
   
2. OTF transcoding and serving Flash 7
   
3. MobiTubia ability to treat GBPVR like a You Tube site
   

As always, doing this myself is beyond my know-how (I'm a script kiddie at heart, not a programmer) but it could make for a very interesting project!

Here's the link for MobiTubia
