Is a flash streaming module for nginx a nice addon or useless ballast?
What are you thinking about this issue?!
I personally don't like flash and I don't know for what the people out
there use flash streaming?
By "flash streaming" they mean "flash video streaming" (flv files).
It's used for video.
Ah ok, thanks for explanation ;-)
You don't need anything special to do .flv streaming. The only thing
that the LightHTTPD module does is allow you to start at an arbitrary
key frame in the video. YouTube doesn't even have this feature yet, but
Google Video does. It's not really that big of a deal.
Ok there isn't a need for a flv module because it's a *normal* stream
such as a *really* long download, isn't it?
That is correct. The only thing a flv module would do is allow you to
start the stream from a given timecode instead of the beginning. Not
particularly compelling for most purposes.
