[Red5] Red5 Application Ideas

[John Kirby]

Hank -

I was thinking more than just VOD.  I was thinking more of a way to 
"mark" certain shows (episodes) then either store the custom playlist 
(ie. my favorites) or yah right a DVR solution.  I've got EyeTv along 
with Titan TV and Toast (Mac)  where I can pick a list of "regular" 
broadcast TV shows and have them written to my Mac by a schedule I 
create.  Toast in this case works like a DVR.

So I'm brainstorming here on combining BOTH VOD and/or DVR capabilities 
to a "Content Machine" like Red5.  A DVR solution might be not a good 
idea, but creating a "my favorite" list (custom personalized playlist) 
so that when you revisit a site... your content of VOD is pre-selected?
