ts-flv: A C++ repository from portl4t

Name

ts-flv - FLV streaming media, implement as plugin of Apache TrafficServer.

Status

This module is under active development.

Description

This module provides streaming media server support for FLV files. User can send a HTTP request to the server with start argument which is measured in seconds, and the server will respond with the stream such that its start position corresponds to the requested time, for example:

http://v.foo.com/kenshin.flv?start=187.63

This allows performing a random seeking at any time. We can use flash player, vlc, mplayer to play the streaming media.

We can write this in remap.config:

map http://v.foo.com/ http://i.foo.com/ @plugin=/xx/libtsflv.so

System Requirements

linux/freebsd 64bits
trafficserver

Build

step1: get ts-flv

git clone https://github.com/portl4t/ts-flv.git
cd ts-flv/src

step2: build, requires linux/freebsd (64bits is recommended)

make

step3: modify remap.config and restart the trafficserver

Note

Large flv file is not recommended. As far as I know, many video sites will cut the large video file into many pieces, and each piece will be less than 70M(bytes), it will be a reasonable choice.
