What's the best webserver software for video?
we have a collection of FLV files, to be displayed by FlowPlayer flash-app in a website. The scripts and handling of data are done with Apache/MySQL/PHP. As the video files are static files they should be served by a more static oriented we开发者_运维问答bserver like lighttpd or nginx, like it's done with photos.
What's the best webserver for serving video? A static files oriented webserver should be good?
thanks in advance regards, rui
According to this benchmark, nginx is a little bit better than lighttpd for serving bigger static contents, so nginx would be a good choice for static flv video contents.
lighttpd - YouTube uses it, as does ImageShack.
Have you looked at FF Server? HERE IS THE LINK
We used it several time for our video serving needs and it has a nice interface. Several high volume video generating sites use this.
