“Recently I took a closer look at Nex Gen Media Server and their
API framework. NGMS is a multi-purpose streaming server which
supports some of the popular streaming protocols such as RTSP,
RTMP, Apple’s HTTP Live, and MPEG-2 Transport Stream. NGMS comes
with transcoding support and is able to capture and reformat live
video streams and adapt them to be received by another type of
device, such as capturing an HD video feed and converting it to be
received by an iPhone over 3g. My focus was to integrate the NGMS
API to control the streaming features directly from my own C
application. In this example I am using Ubuntu Linux 10.04.”
