VOD "live" streaming for multiple clients?

[thomers]

Hello, here's what I'm trying to accomplish:

• Client sends HTTP request
• nginx-vod starts streaming a sequence of static local video files (the files and the sequence do not change)
• To the client, the stream appears "live" = without revealing the length of the currently playing video file!
• Another client connects, this starts a new stream for this client (again, starting at the beginning of the video file sequence)

Is this possible?

If yes, I suppose I want mapped mode? Do I need to generate a dynamic JSON playlist file in that case?

Thanks! Thomas

Hi @thomers,

Perhaps I am missing something but it sounds to me as though you simple want to serve a playlist, if so, see: https://github.com/kaltura/nginx-vod-module#playlist

If you need something else, do elaborate.
