How to streaming mp4 in Windows server.

http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=HTTP_Video_Streaming

I have LightLPD windows version instored in my server. But the H264 streaming module bellow seems only support Linux sever:

So my question is: is there a way to implement mp4 streaming in Windows server? Thanks in advance

At this time, there is not a mod_h264_streaming module available for LightTPD on Windows. I have searched all of the nooks and crannies of the Internet many times.

The Open Source RTMP server Red5 will have MP4/H.264 streaming in the .9 release, possibly released in December or so. It's already working in dev releases, so I'm fairly confident they will make the December release.

I'm lookin also for a streaming solution on my windows iis 2003.
That can be a PHP script.

I've read also windows 2008 is supporting h264 streaming.

@Frank,

What do you want to stream?

FLV: get the XMOOV script from these forums.

MP3: can't be streamed by "fake" HTTP streaming using a script; get the Red5 RTMP server for Windows

MP4/H.264: there is no Windows streaming solution yet; maybe Red5 v .9 in December or so?

Hi,

If anyone can point me to a Windows port of Lighttpd then I'd be happy to make the mod_h264_streaming module available for windows. Preferably a port for which the source is readily available.

Regards,

Arjen (http://h264.code-shop.com).

I'm using LightTPD on Windows XP from: *http://en.wlmp-project.net/*

I was using v1.4.18-1, just upgraded to v1.4.20-1 today.

However, I don't see any link on their site to access the source. You might be able to gain access to it since you are a well-known developer of a LightTPD module.

It would be really wonderful to have a mod_h264_streaming module for windows.

Good Luck & thanks.

Hi,

SaltwaterC was so kind to port it to windows. He has a Lighttpd 1.4.20 build available that includes the h264 streaming module.

You can find his page here: http://saltwaterc.net/wlmp

The saltwaterc project seems to be discontinued, so any other sources for a win lighttpd build with h264 streaming?

thanks.

@Tom,

None that I've been able to find.

The v1.4.20 build from SaltwaterC worked fine up to the point where I tried to scrub in the MP4. Then the CPU usage went to 100% and I had to re-start the server.

Red5 with MP4 over RTMP should be available soon, so I'm waiting for that.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to compile LightTPD v1.4.20 with mod_h264_streaming, but it's slow going, since I haven't worked with "c" languages for quite a while.

Hi Frank,

The module is currently available for Lighttpd, Apache and Ngingx. If you *really* need it as an IIS module feel free to drop me a line at h264@code-shop.com to discuss.

Yay! Found an Apache module that works in XAMPP 1.7.3...

http://h264.code-shop.com/trac/discussion/9/59

Scroll alllllllllll the way down to the second to last message in the thread and there's a link to precompiled module.
Put the .so in the apache/modules folder, then add
"LoadModule h264_streaming_module modules/mod_h264_streaming.so" to your httpd.conf file (in apache/conf/), restart apache and works fine for me.

Mikey- did you have any issues with the streaming running much too slowly after about 5 minutes?
