With lihttpd mod_flv, videos can be played from any position. By doing this, you can save bandwidth as users can skip to any part of the video and watch what they want.
Requirements
1) Dedicated or VPS with 1 free IP address
2) JW Player
3) vShare 2.7

Actually installing lighttpd is quite easy and implementing mod sec download as well as mod flv streaming is not that really hard.
Beginners are advised to use this installation services. Else read my installation guide ^^
So the only benefit to this is that users can quote "skip to any part of the video"? - I've visited the demo site and attempted to do such, but to no avail, as when I clicked on a point in the video, it did not move, nor did I see a progress bar on the video, indicating a level of streamed content.
Perhaps I did something wrong though, who knows.

I does not work for some video but I can show you an example if you want
You can skip and view part of video. It work for most videos, for some videos, it won't work.
I will be sending you my account information
Even if you have to implement it into a heavily modified vShare like I run under www.youstunt.com?Quote:

Its true that lighttpd is the best for for video because it runs abit faster then apache also it is good because the streaming is setup as default, but apache can also do this streaming function, i have been using it over a year now and is it wonderful, you need to install an addon to apache server for this to work, its called apache_mod_flvx also you can do this for mp4 files too if you also install apache mod_h264_streamingQuote:

I would probably say that overall, it is better to stream with Apache than lighttpd. One of the biggest problems with lighttpd is that it doesn't support multiple threads. This means that for servers that have multiple cores, lighttpd won't scale across them. Apache, however, can. For very powerful servers, it is actually better to stream with Apache (even though lighttpd is faster) as it can use more of the system's resources than can lighttpd. For smaller servers or VPS's, though, lighttpd is probably a better way to go.
I am using lighttpd but everyone says that nginx is the faster way for video streaming. Is that true?
Not necessarily. Nginx has a smaller footprint than lighttpd so it is lighter on the server. But, it isn't faster. There is also less security in nginx streaming than lighttpd.
Hi,
I am now on the process of transferring my whole site in a dedicated server, and ask my hosting company to install lighthttpd on the server, i just to know if this will work if my account has a differrent domain, (used as video server) but now i will put all the files in once server but of course it will hosted only in one dedicated server but different cpanel, my question is this will work on my server, i have 3 domains where my videos are uploaded, and my dedicated server has 5 IP address as mention by my webhosting company
Regards,
Mark
You can use lighttpd for each video hosting sites.
Ok, as i mention earlier i have a 3 domain, remote server used for my videos, is there any idea how lighttpd work without making the 3 accounts a VPS, because that domains now will be hosted on same New Dedicated server, because i dont know if my hosting company will do that thing for me (make the three account a VPS),
If you have dedicated server with free ip, we can do it.
Hi,
Yes, i will let you know once the site transfer it completed, my host told me that there will be 5 IP for my dedicated server, once it is done, i will let you know

Mark
