HTTP Pseudo Streaming

Pseudo-streaming is characterized by downloading an actual file and playing that file as it's being downloaded. Pseudo-streaming allows for seeking to a particular point in the video, without having to download all the video data in between.

Below is an example of a standard Flowplayer installation at 640x480 using HTTP through our lighthttpd protocol.

Source Code

flowplayer("player1", "http://releases.flowplayer.org/flowplayer/flowplayer-3.2.0.swf", {
    clip: {
        url: 'http://p.ZONE.ALIAS.netdna-cdn.com/vod/ZONE.ALIAS/Extremists.flv',
        autoPlay: false,
        autoBuffering: true,
        provider: 'lighttpd'
    },
    plugins: {
        lighttpd: {
            url: '/flowplayer/flowplayer.pseudostreaming-3.2.0.swf'
        }
    }
});

With Splash Screen

flowplayer("player1", "flowplayer/flowplayer-3.2.0.swf", {
    clip: {
        url: 'http://p.ZONE.ALIAS.netdna-cdn.com/vod/ZONE.ALIAS/Extremists.flv',
        autoPlay: false,
        autoBuffering: true,
        provider: 'lighttpd'
    },
    plugins: {
        lighttpd: {
            url: '/flowplayer/flowplayer.pseudostreaming-3.2.0.swf'
        }
    },
canvas:{background:'#000000 url(http://flash.flowplayer.org/media/img/title/screens.png) no-repeat 30 10'}
});
