George Brady Streaming Server is the first streaming server to support vector graphics based video without the need to use Adobe/Macromedia Flash as a dependency. Currently code frozen in favor of the Nautical Internet Engine.

I've found some news about HTML 5 including the <video> and <audio> tabs, and that whether to include such tags or not because of conflicting interests between standard media codecs has put said tabs in question. Since the HTML 5 specification is not finalized, I am issuing a code freeze on George Brady Streaming Server until the final release of the specification is ready. Whether George Brady Streaming Server will be removed will depend on whether the <video> and <audio> tags are in the final specification or not, and if they are, George TV will be using those along with an anti-censorship license that applies to the Internet as well as cable television, radio, satellite, iTunes, SongBird, fiber-optic, YouTube, everywhere videos and music are delivered whether they're pirated or not because I do not want any of my original or dubbed content to undergo any censorships, period.

I'm sorry I put off this release for so long, but finally the source code for George Brady Streaming Client is available. It will require OpenGL for rendering CGI or "live action" envionments. I'm also sorry to say this, but I will NEVER support DirectX for MY products whatsoever. Besides, what I support for MY official products is entirely MY business, and nothing you do or say will change that. George
v0.0.1: First release of George Brady Streaming Server. Very unfinished, but perhaps a dozen releases later, the full API and video capability should be implemented.
The cartoons of the past from the black-and-white Felix the Cat films to some cartoons of the early 21st century have been awesome because they were originally meant for wider audiences, and even the kids' cartoons had their extreme moments like death, destroyed cities and villages, and the like. So how come none of that is allowed in today's cartoons? The FCC, whiny hypoctical parents, and the "cartoons are for kids" propaganda philosophy are the ones that started the low-quality cartoon problem in the first place, and animes have been prone to poor dubbing here in America even before non-anime cartoons started losing their touch. We must end these censorship practices and propaganda and overwhelm the Federal Communications Commission so that America can be rid of that unconstitutional censorship agency once and for all. I'm not saying that we should have kids be entertained by something morbid like naked people or actual pornography; I'm just saying that cartoons need to start being treated with the same respect as live action and that, regardless of whether it's live action or animated or even how it's animated or where it came from, it's still entertainment. There have been non-kiddy cartoons and kiddy live action shows that have been made and published in America, and the original black and white Felix the Cat and Mickey Mouse cartoons were originally not children's stuff and children's live action shows like Lazy Town, Blue's Clues, etc. have been made even today, so the "cartoons are for kids and live action is for grown-ups" thing has been disproven thousands of times already. The Federal Communications Commission exploited a loophole in the First Amendment in order to censor television and radio by threatening licensees with ridiculous fines for allowing anything against its standards, some of which don't make any sense, and the FCC also censors hardware development. However, regardless of whether a loophole was actually exploited or not, all these forced censorships are still unconstitutional. Many parents have also contributed to the censorship problem by whining and complaining about "inappropriate content in kids' stuff" and even prematurely threatening legal action if the "inappropriate stuff" isn't censored or banned, and most of them are hypocrites because they teach their kids lessons that the parents themselves apparently don't get, setting mixed morals. The philosophy about cartoons being only for kids is only a propaganda delusion that has severely crippled the quality of today's media, particularly the stuff made for children and adolescents. There never was an appropriate "teens" market for media, fashion, or trends, all of which are actually causing or contributing to these problems; we have to fix this by demoting these trends and setting good morals! I'm not saying that we should carry mature content to the extreme, like making kids' entertainment just like the stuff normally considered appropriate for the chronically mature. I'm just saying that we need more cartoons that have the advantages and benefits that make anime and retro cartoons high quality and oh so good because having to watch low quality cartoons, believe it or not, can and will have a negative impact on society as it is doing now, like making young children into fanboys, camwhores, cyberbullies, and even manchilds. Then again, too much entertainment (including high-quality entertainment) and not enough work can have the same negative impacts on our lives. So if you're against censorship, I encourage you to fight it in any way you can, like petitioning boycotts of mass producers of poor quality entertainment, promoting teens to just be themselves, making your own derived versions of George Brady Streaming Server, anything anti-censorship without breaking the law or being too extreme about it. Otherwise, I cannot welcome your comments. Thank you for reading this activism! George
George Brady Streaming Server is a streaming server meant to compete against Adobe Flash by managing vector graphics in a much more efficient way, improving system performance and making Flash look bloated in comparison, even when George Brady Streaming Server uses the highest video quality setting while Flash uses the lowest. I have a desktop PC with a 1.5 GHz CPU and PNY video card with nVIDIA GeForce 5200 FX GPU, and that works very well with OpenGL 1.5 but not so much with Flash because Flash almost never uses the GPU to render anything, if at all. So the answer for this Flash rival? Use the GPU and manage the video memory (or shared memory, if the GPU doesn't have any dedicated video memory) in order to use all the drawing functions. That and I have to get to work on the source code for George Brady Streaming Client, an open-source plug-in that will be under the same license as George Brady Streaming Server and be smaller than the Flash plug-in and have much fewer dependencies. Of course, having an "unfair advantage" over Flash and QuickTime just isn't enough; I also needed a license that helps to fight censorship, so by working with SourceForge.NET staff in order to find a way to do so because I couldn't find a pre-existing license to fit my needs there, I finally decided on a modified version of the BSD license that includes an anti-censorship term. If you find any flaws in George Brady Streaming Server's license's anti-censorship term, which is meant to prevent censorship without permission or consent and even forced censorship, please message me in the forum and I will work with SourceForge.NET to patch it up, but if it's something in terms of GNU GPL compatibility, I don't know what to do there because GPL compatibility may have to be sacrificed in order to fight a battle against censorship. I have also included other anti-censorship licenses, but have no need for SourceForge.NET approval because they are only meant to be used for uploaded content, not for any of the source code for my streaming server or my streaming client. Which reminds me, I'll have to fix the confusion by changing the name of those licenses from "COPYING.whatever" to something else. And I am not taking any chances with making George Brady Streaming Server officially compatible with the iPhone or iPod Touch because they are very proprietary devices that don't support open media formats like Ogg, which George Brady Streaming Server is based on and uses for all its audio capabilities. And as for dependencies, I don't plan on requiring Flash or Java at all. I was considering making George Brady Streaming Server depend entirely on JavaScript, but seeing that sounds too good to be true and is even impossible to implement except in certain web browsers, I'll have to get to work on a plug-in that enables a web browser to access George Brady Streaming Server powered content as George Brady Streaming Client, which will be under the same license as George Brady Streaming Server, to also fight censorship. The final version of George Brady Nautical will include George Brady Streaming Client built right in. And if you want the source code, please go here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gb-stream George
