Subject:MP4 seeking with proxyActions...

Hi all,

I found this http://wiki.codemongers.com/NginxMP4StreamingLite module on Nginx Wiki site and it works great but if I am not wrong - it works only for static files.

What I want to do is to serve mp4 files for users (with seeking) using some "combination" of static files serving and proxy module, because not all mp4's are on disk where nginx runs. I know how to do this "combination" without mp4 seeking: proxy_store is the solution (when file is missing - download it from external storage and save it on disk for future requests). But how to combine this with mp4 module?

I can use NginxMP4StreamingLite module also on storage host (it also uses Nginx), but then how to combine this with proxy_store (user gets only mp4 seeked to some point BUT will proxy_store download whole file to local disk from storage not only part of it?).

I hope you understand my problems, if not - tell me and I will try to explain it better.

PS. In case if it is impossible to get what I want - will it be hard to implement this?

Thanks, Kamil
