Le P2P étend le principe du streaming ... Europa : CORDIS : Search : Simple search : Documents : results. Cordis.europa.eu/ist/audiovisual Doc.pdf. P2ptv.PNG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. P2PTV. The term P2PTV refers to peer-to-peer (P2P) software applications designed to redistribute video streams in real time on a P2P network; the distributed video streams are typically TV channels from all over the world but may also come from other sources.
The draw to these applications is significant because they have the potential to make any TV channel globally available by any individual feeding the stream into the network where each peer joining to watch the video is a relay to other peer viewers, allowing a scalable distribution among a large audience with no incremental cost for the source. Technology and use[edit] The need for a tracker can also be eliminated by the use of distributed hash table technology. Some applications allow users to broadcast their own streams, whether self-produced, obtained from a video file, or through a TV tuner card or video capture card. Many of the commercial P2PTV applications were developed in China (TVUPlayer, PPLive, QQLive, PPStream). Joost. Joost /ˈdʒuːst/ was an Internet TV service, created by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis (founders of Skype and Kazaa).
During 2007-2008 Joost used peer-to-peer TV (P2PTV) technology to distribute content to their Mozilla-based desktop player; in late 2008 this was migrated to use a Flash-based Web player instead. Joost began development in 2006. Working under the code name "The Venice Project", Zennström and Friis assembled teams of some 150 software developers in about six cities around the world, including New York, London, Leiden and Toulouse. According to Zennström at a 25 July 2007 press conference about Skype held in Tallinn, Estonia, Joost had signed up more than a million beta testers, and its launch was scheduled for the end of 2007.[1] The company went through restructuring several times and sold most of its assets in 2009; it suspended operations in 2012.
