Recorded video as live using php

Question

I need to broadcast means Everyone will view the video as it played, not at the beginning of the video once they visited the web page.

I saw some code like this for embedding video,

<object width="425px" height="360px" >
    <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/>
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
    <param name="movie" value="http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/embed.aspx/m=5385825,t=1,mt=video,searchID=,primarycolor=,secondarycolor="/>
    <embed src="http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/embed.aspx/m=5385825,t=1,mt=video,searchID=,primarycolor=,secondarycolor=" width="425" height="360" allowFullScreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"/>
</object>

i need to know is it possible with PHP , Search several times in web, but did nnt get a proper solution yet.

if its not possible with PHP then how can i do that , in my php driven website — AGK, Aug 02 '12 at 17:32
I misunderstood the question. You want to know how to allow users to "tune in" to a webcast already in progress and see it "live" (like how NBC does the Olympics), right? — Matt, Aug 02 '12 at 17:34
Everyone just slow down, it's not possible to be done client side, because SOMETHING has to serve the video. It's so you can't just download the whole thing and then just seek to where everyone else is. — VoronoiPotato, Aug 02 '12 at 17:34

This is not about the clientside code. You should configure a single stream in your video hosting platform. That's where the challenge is being fixed, not in the client side code.

To be more specific:

I need to broadcast

As far as I see from some server, I don't see anything about a client side cam.

means Everyone will view the video as it played

So it is a stream send to all visitors of the page, not personal chat stream just like a TV broadcasting.

, not at the beginning of the video once they visited the web page.

So you start it centrally and you can hook in. So if the stream is at 35 minutes and you start watching you miss it. Just like TV.

If that is all correct then you should configure that at the server. So don't stream separately for every viewer but just use a general stream.

Clearly, he's asking if it's possible in php, not javascript. – VoronoiPotato Aug 02 '12 at 17:32
I don't know what but your comment says the same as I did: "This cannot be done client side". I am not talking about javascript anywhere, the client is not directly relevant to the question. The stream is the part where it should be configured and nowhere else. – Luc Franken Aug 02 '12 at 17:38
I didn't realize that people were commenting about javascript. That being said I'm holding my -1 because you're answering the comment not the question. – VoronoiPotato Aug 02 '12 at 17:39
so you mean .. for doing this i need to add my video files normally using the above code and need to make changes only in server right? – AGK Aug 02 '12 at 17:40
i saw one post related to my question , http://forums.adobe.com/thread/581919#2608791, but its using FMS.. i want to do the same using php – AGK Aug 02 '12 at 17:42
The problem with that AGK is that you don't have any 'video files' because you're streaming. The code you posted unfortunately isn't tremendously useful to you because they're using ASP.NET to slice up the video to provide to the user. – VoronoiPotato Aug 02 '12 at 17:44
for the user its just like a live streaming.. but i tried to broadcast the recorded video files through my website, my doubt is , each time the user open the webpage how can i set the starting point of the video same as the running point in server.. – AGK Aug 02 '12 at 17:50
Matts comment is very helpful, read that article and it might give you a better picture at the problem you're looking at. – VoronoiPotato Aug 02 '12 at 17:51
in server side that video playing continuously , if one client open the webpage his video's starting point is same as the point which is in the server's current playing point – AGK Aug 02 '12 at 17:54
