I have more than 10.000 funny videos. All files mp4 and these files a quite big.

I am not interested in live streaming or compatible with devices like Ipad, Iphone, Android... etc. I am trying to stream these videos to another websites.

So, what should I do and what the best way to stream videos ?

Plex is home theater, Red5 is a quite difficult.

Thanks.

As you say "I am not interested in streaming" so you would probably look at something which is called progressive download (also called "pseudo streaming").

You can imagine this like a fancy download:

  • You can watch while streaming
  • You can seek/jump in the video forward and backward

See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_download

You usually require an additional mod or plugin on a WebServer to support seeking.

Wikipedia actually lists some plugins for popular web servers that support it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_download#Seeking

  • Thank you for quick answer. "pseudo streaming" is what I look for. I may edit the question or I should post a new one about it. – user3759605 Oct 04 '15 at 15:21
  • I feel [http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1430518-pseudo-streaming-in-flash] and [http://flash.flowplayer.org/plugins/streaming/pseudostreaming.html] players offer NginX but G-wan is faster. G-wan benchmarks page : [http://gwan.com/benchmark] Can anyone help me to choose a server between Apache, NginX and G-wan or better server for "pseudo streaming" ? – user3759605 Oct 04 '15 at 15:37
  • I the past people tend to use lighttpd for pseudo streaming. A common practise is also to use Apache HTTPD and then have some mod_proxy or similar installed to forward some traffic to lighttpd or nginx. Nginx performs a bit better under some circumstances. – seba.wagner Oct 04 '15 at 21:27
