Flumotion is brilliant. I’ve been testing it for a while now, but only recently been able to stream to a useful number of clients, thanks to my new Linode virtual server. The Fluendo guys have done a fantastic job architecting and implementing it, even though they’re obviously cheating by using intensely cool building blocks, including gstreamer, Python, PyGTK and Twisted.

jdub¡tv! is my experimental Flumotion stream, which I announce on various IRC channels whenever it’s online. It’s very silly. The work is distributed across three computers, two in Australia and one in the USA, which goes some way towards demonstrating Flumotion’s flexibility. Plus, I’ve been building my flows up from raw gstreamer pipelines. While this is fun, I’ll have to look into writing proper components soon.
