This module provides streaming media server support for MP4 files.
User can send a HTTP request to the server with ``start`` argument
which is measured in seconds, and the server will respond with the
stream such that its start position corresponds to the requested time,
for example::
http://v.foo.com/dota2.mp4?start=290.12
This allows performing a random seeking at any time. We can use flash
player, vlc, mplayer, firefox or chrome to play the streaming media.
This plugin can be used as a remap plugin. We can write this in remap.config::
map http://v.foo.com/ http://v.internal.com/ @plugin=mp4.so
Note
===================
This plugin requires that the ``moov`` box in the mp4 file should be ahead
of ``mdat`` box. It is not a good idea to cache a large mp4 file, many video
sites will cut a large video file into many small mp4 files, and each
small mp4 file will be less than 80M(bytes), it will be a reasonable choice.
