Would you still recommend a real streaming solution such as adobes or Wowzas, or you would go with lighttpd and their flv streaming plug in which gives the player the capability of caching the http stream ( I guess it uses the Content-Range headers ) ?
Ps: Thanks a lot for the answers  You really seem to know real life cases and the technologies they use thats what i was hoping to find here |
Everyone is different... our customers go for fms/wowza because of the bandwidth savings they have book markers and they keep coming back and streaming helps keeps the cost lower, even if you throttle. I have no idea what lighttpd uses. Its means to be passed a timestamps to it and it starts playing the flv at that point in time in the file.
Thanks we might not be the biggest host but we are very competitive and do a pretty good job at what we do and streaming is one of them.
