726 TV: Online TV

View Full Report (doc)

726TV is a web site to stream movies in real-time. 
It uses the television paradigm, where the movies are streamed continuously. The broadcasts are divided into channels, based on the movie’s genre. The movies are scheduled weekly and may be played several times a week. 
Users that are connected will all watch the same movie at the same time according to the channel to which they are connected. Although movies are pre-recorded, it is not a video-on-demand system.
The streaming server used will stream those movies in one stream.  The web site will only be able to support a fixed number of clients.
Our expected clients should have a broadband connection in order to receive movies streamed. Others users, will only be able to browse the site and watch trailers. 
Another feature that the web site offers is to have a movie store where users can buy/download some movies.
