Hi, the best way to do this now is to use IIS and a plugin from http://h264.code-shop.com/trac. Works very nice. have tested it on IIS7, but should also work on IIS6.

Just wondering if you developed this any further to support seeking?

Hi Saashem,

It would be nice we can get H.264 pseudo streaming working @ IIS.

Hi again...
Have you had a look at IIS7 and MediaPack? I belive that they are going to have the same functionality (and more) when they release the MediaPack later this year. I think it's in beta now. You have to use a Silverlight player to get advantage of all the cool features...

OK I see its another web server. Unfortunately we are married to ASP.NET AJAX so we have to use IIS.

Hi,

Yes, you are correct. To jump in the file you have to do some more work. The flash-player has to make a call to your http-handler (that serves the h264-file) with a parameter telling where in the file you would like to jump. Your http-handler then have to get this parameter, find the correct point in the file, and then start playing from that location. It's not strait forward and I don't have finished code for it... But you can find complete solutions for this out there... Take a look at JWplayer and LightTPD. They do exactly wath you describe in your post. LightTPD is by the way used by YouTube, so it works well... ;)

Hi thanks for posting this. I am developing an ASP.net website and playing back MP4 using flash. I would love to support pseudo streaming and seek anywhere while buffering. Looking at your code it looks like it downloads the entire thing chunk by chunk so this would not allow for seeking right? Is this an IHTTPHandler? if so would you be able to send me the source code for this handler.

It also look like you are getting the filepath from the fil param of the request. Is this the correct way to do it?

TIA

h264 files have to be encoded with the header information in the front of the file... I guess that's the problem here. Do a search for freeware encoding tools that can do this for you.

The benefit of pseudo-streaming is to control the bandwidth usage... Say you have a video that is 5 minutes long and a user with high bandwidth. If this user stops the video after, say 30 sec, he has probably downloaded the whole video-file already. If you use pseudo-streaming, the user will only download the bits that is going to be viewed...
