Video streaming with GeneXus

EMI Music Latin America uses a GeneXus application for video streaming that allows various sites of the company to have their own, different list of video.

The new EMI Music Latin America uses GeneXus, with Windows Media Player 9, connected to a streaming service. Streaming technology enables sending video, audio or flash files to a Web user in a progressive way and with better quality, preventing cuts.

The application was developed by In-Style Software and Digital Tech and it is connected to GXportal. The development was performed with GeneXus 8.0 generating for .NET and using SQL Server as DBMS. The streaming application is hosted by In-Style in Windows 2003 Server technology.

"All the back office was done with Patterns in minimum time, very simply", explains Diego Prusky, Project manager for In-Style Software. The Windows Media Player component integrated in the web page is used to connect the backend with the streaming service and this component receives the parameters with the streaming information, he explained.

The application is integrated with GXportal, the tool used by EMI Music Latin America to build its Web sites. This integration enables identifying the Web site from where the application has been called and the corresponding video list.

"Each country's Web master can load the videos, set up the photos, etc., it's very user-friendly", highlighted Ricardo Ramos, Digital Tech's director.

He also pointed out that another interesting aspect of the development was the use of a java script to change video quality without the need to refresh the page.

The application is already being used by www.emimusic.com.mx www.emilatin.com and at other EMI artists' sites.

In-Style Software has ERP divisions for the retail industry, Web services for the Entertainment industry and Internet strategy. Special Hosting, a division of In-Style Software provides GeneXus and GXportal hosting services.
