In-Game Streaming on Websites

A while back I remember seeing a live stream of Zone on the Graal website, flash based. Did anything ever come out of this functionality? I think I'd like to use it.

There is a live stream of Zone? This one is a looped video.

v6 makes it possible to stream the window content to external flash media servers (or to our free one), and then you can see it on the web and even control it remotely by clicking and typing in the flash applet. It was more a proof-of-concept, the idea was to provide streams or to automatically capture a video of events on servers and then upload it youtube or so.

I think it would be pretty cool to stream events on a website, that's what I was kind of aiming for in my inquiry. I hope you release it.

Edit: I've got some more questions actually. Does a player have to be the host of the stream? Would it cause any unnecessary lag in the levels that it is streaming? Would the amount of viewers contribute to that?

The "camera" is a command line graal version which is then streaming it to media server. It's not perfect (light effects are not supported yet) but works pretty well.
