Summary:
This is a final course project with the aim of developing a server-client environment. The system will have a friendly user interface to allow users to access one or more MPEG-4 video sources on streaming servers.
The system architecture is based in three modules: the client module, the portal and the server module.
- The client module can be located in any computer, provided with internet access and the user interface. The module is composed by one player supporting MPEG-4 and the GUI.
- The portal works as an intermediary between the user and the streaming server. It knows what contents are available and the servers that have them. Its function is to redirect the user to the correct streaming server.
- The server module incorporates a streaming server suporting MPEG-4. The server locally stores MPEG-4 multimedia content titles.
