Insufficient bandwidth, network latency, paranoid firewall restrictions and many more obstacles make it very difficult to transfer streaming content to end users, especially in real-time. Existing media servers, such as Microsoft and Real Networks ones, only partially cover growing demand for streaming quality. The product presented on this site - Unreal Media Server - is a streaming server for Windows operating systems, which dares to compete with above mentioned servers from the standpoint of quality and performance. Both media files and live media streams are supported. File formats include all the types playable by Microsoft DirectX, namely: AVI (DivX, XVid, any other encoding), MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPA, WMV, WMA, ASF, MP3, QuickTime (version 2 and lower). Playlist functionality allows automatically playing all the files of server's virtual folder in a loop mode. Client playback applications can run on Desktop PCs and on Handheld Devices running Windows Mobile operating system."</i><br /><br />Unreal Streaming Technologies has just released a Windows Mobile 5.0-compatible version of Streaming Media Player. The site doesn't say much about the Windows Mobile version, so we're just as much in the dark as you are about how the product looks and feels. If you do manage to test it out, let us know how it goes. :)
