Edit file /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf and modify server.use-ipv6 value in disable. I f you could dedicate one IP, uncomment server.bind and change localhost with IP dedicated.
Edit file /etc/lighttpd/modules.conf and:

  • comment all modules in server.modules
  • in server.modules, add line:

    “mod_h264_streaming”,

  • below server.modules, add lines:

    h264-streaming.extensions = ( “.mp4”, “.f4v” )
    h264-streaming.buffer-seconds = 10

Start your new web server:

service lighthttpd start

Add web server in runlevel:

chkconfig --add lighttpd

For testing purposes we recommend a tool like wget, or curl):

  • upload one f4v video to the document root of your website:

    wget sample.f4v
    cp sample.f4v /srv/www/lighttpd/

  • download the full file:

    wget -O test.f4v "http://localhost/sample.f4v"

  • download file with specify start time:

    wget -O test.f4v "http://localhost/sample.f4v?start=45.5"

    This saves a file (test.f4v) on your local disk that will have the first 45.5 seconds removed from the original (sample.f4v) video

You can use your favourite player to see if worked okay.
