Hello,

I'm newbie using theora plugin.
I need to develop an application similar to youtube (server with the videos, and a client connected to a server using Internet), but in an Ogre Application.
Can I use theora or I need other library?
Has anybody develop any similar application? If yes, please let me know how to use it.

Thank you in advance and sorry by my poor english.

You can definitely stream Ogg files from the Internet. Ogg is geared towards streaming. You should take a look at connecting to an Icecast server.. simply buffer the incoming bytes, and playback when you have enough.

I managed to quickly whip up a Theora + C# + Icecast server in the past. It wasn't too difficult - though, I did have some streaming issues (making sure I had enough bytes to keep playback smooth, etc).

It's doable. If there will be enough interest for this feature I'll probably do it.

and as pjcast said, ogg was designed for streaming, icecast proves that it works good ;)

with the plugin's new code design, there shouldn't be much problems with streaming, as long as there is enough data.
