Lighttpd Streaming
A professional video streaming alternative to progressive download.
Seek anywhere in the video
Seek anywhere in the video, even if it has not been downloaded up to that position. Saves bandwidth and time, since you don't have to wait until the video has been loaded in order to skip to a certain position.
Prevent video leeching/Hotlinking
Prevent bandwidth theft. The URL to the flv file is dynamically encrypted based on a password and a time stamp, and changed every few minutes.
Limit bandwidth usage (per visitor)
Save bandwidth. Limit download speed per connection (visitor). You can set a maximum download speed (bandwidth allowance) for each visitor, this way you will prevent high-speed connections to eat alot of bandwidth. All visitors will have an equal share of your bandwidth.
