I have a client who is possibly interested in having streaming video on his site. (not an adult site, it's a music site). I asked the hosting company I resell for if it is ok to run on his servers. This is what he said:

"We don't run any proprietary servers, so the video will need to be prepared in a form that can be delivered via HTTP streaming. All modern streaming video formats support this."

I don't really understand how to actually set this up, what code do I actually use etc.
