I've just updated the mod_h264_streaming to lighttpd 1.5. I'll update 
SVN on http://h264.code-shop.com/trac/wiki/Mod-H264-Streaming-Download 
in the next few days.

Regards,

Im looking on the web 
http://h264.code-shop.com/trac/wiki/Mod-H264-Streaming-Download every 
day. But there is no mod_h264_streaming alternative for lighttpd 1.5 :(.

Just want to let you know Im also waiting patiently for this module. I'd 
also love to combine the benefits that lighttpd 1.5 offers combined with 
the h264 streaming module.

kind regards,

Still no news ?

Thanks :)

Hi guys,

Thanks for being patient. Here's a first release of mod_h264_streaming 
for 1.5.0.

The SVN repos: http://h264.code-shop.com/svn/h264/trunk/lighttpd-1.5.0/

Have fun and let me know if you run into any issues.

Arjen

Just wondering, why does streaming require a mod and can't it be done 
with just normal HTTP?

Depends on what you mean by "streaming". I tried flv streaming and it of 
course works with any web server - but the flash player gets a constant 
stream of data from beginning to end. So you don't have any controls 
like seeking to different position (and if you have, player have to wait 
until it receives all data from beginning to the seek position).
With web server which supports the streaming, playercan request data 
from any position in file. So when you do a seek, the current http 
connection/stream is closed and player requests data from arbitrary 
position.
At least for flv you need a flv file with some sort of index, which is 
then used for seeks and webserver needs to understand the structure of 
the media file. This is probably why there is separate module for flv 
and h264 streaming.

What about HTTP range requests?

Ah. Time-based seeking isn't possible for normal HTTP.

That would be the ideal solution, but (in the case you're playing back 
video using Flash) it would have to be implemented in the Flash player 
itself. Perhaps Adobe will implement this in a future version, but 
somehow I doubt we'll see it any time soon.

So for the time being you can use the mod_h264 plugin. :)

Hi Arjen:

I finally set up my lighttpd server(1.5.0) with mod_h264_streaming.c
- and all I can say is, it's working well!

i have two questions,

1. i known mod_h264_streaming.c can be use like url =
"http://h264.code-shop.com:8080/trailer2.mp4?start=45.5&end=60" , and
start&end are time seek,, but if can i use start&end for file seek
just like mod_flv_streaming.c,

2. would somebody support me, how can i get the mp4 file's total time in
mod_h264_streaming.c
(start/file_size)*total_time


So thanks a lot guys for your great work!!
