Ask HN: Video streaming platform recommendations?

[botolo]

Hello Folks,

I may get the license to stream a TV channel online in real time. I need to build a website to sell subscriptions to this streaming service and I was wondering if you have any streaming platform to recommend me.

I am looking for a video streaming solution ready to go, with hosting and everything. Something like a "build a Hulu on your own" stuff :-)

Any idea?

Thanks a lot!

Try http://UnicornMedia.com - they should be able to do it as one possibility.

Also see http://www.streamingmedia.com/Sourcebook/ a place where most folks that can do this are probably mentioned in one way or another.

In about 3 months, one of the startups I'm involved with will be operating in this space, including the availability of a white-label service tier and REST API. I can send you info if you're interested (my email is in my profile) in waiting that long.

Thanks a lot! I just sent you a message, I would be very interested to get additional info on this project.
