HTTP Psuedo Streaming
HD Webplayer is still trying to better this Examples section. Mail your ideas to admin@hdwebplayer.com
Overview
HTTP Pseudostreaming does not work by default on any webserver. A serverside module is needed to enable it. Here are the two most widely used (and open source) modules for this:
- The H264 streaming module for Apache, Lighttpd, IIS and NginX. It supports MP4 videos.
- The FLV streaming module for Lighttpd. It supports FLV videos.
In addition to using a serverside module, pseudostreaming can be enabled by using a serverside script (in e.g. PHP or .NET) and http property with HD Webplayer. We do not advise this, since such a script consumes a lot of resources, has security implications and can only be used with FLV files.
