Realserver is made by REALnetworks for audio and video streaming and normaly uses rtsp protocal, this enables streaming on demand and live broadcasting of SMILe (streaming media in line entertainment). The standard realserver is built to do this and has many extra features. It does not normaly include the same type of features available on say an full blown Apache server, but it can be done. I have developed a REALserver Apache system capable of dynamic content delivery using rtsp, php, mysql and a few other things. This allows realtime information transfer from praticly any data source into the smil session. At the moment I am playing with realtime text systems. REALserver is a great tool!
