lighttpd forum lighty > wmv streaming

hello everybody,

   all is in the title ... I'am looking for a solution to make real 
streaming with wmv3 files throw lighttpd =)

To make simple i wanna know if it exist or is possible to rewrite 
mod_flv_streaming for wmv streaming

The difficulty is also to find a software like flvtool2 to get meta-data 
on the file



Thank you in advance


Sébastien

What client-side software are you using and what requirements does this 
software have on the server-side?

I found the microsoft expression encoder that uses markers but I only 
read it

I'm not sure it works and i prefer using a linux software ( with command 
lines to make a script)

The client-side will be silverlight ( or moonlight on linux )

 It still works with lighttpd but not as a real streaming but more as a 
progressive streaming ( You can not go to the middle of the movie 
without downloading the beginning )

So what server-side support is required to get 'real' streaming?

That is the question i'm asking ...
I hop it is possible to change a part of the code of mod_flv_streaming
and find a free software to apply meta tags on my wmv movie !!!
but i found nothing more

I hope someone could help me

Then you're in the wrong forum. I don't know what kind of server-side
support your video player depends on, so you should ask the vendor of
your video player.

Thank you for all your answers Olaf van der Spek,

The fact is that i want to use a server side lighttpd and modify the 
mod_flv_streaming module that is given with lighttpd and adapt it to get 
real streaming with wmv files

I'am a developper so it's not a problem to work on it but i was looking 
for some help or tools that i haven't found yet to begin. I am 
discovering the world of streaming and the meta-tags so if you knew a 
helpfull link ...

How can you modify that module if you don't know what your video player 
depends on for 'real' streaming?

Maybe, but it seems like guess-work. Does WMP really use the start= 
query parameter?
