I am planning to do a video on demand streaming solution which will have around 500 to 1000 clicks per week. I am streaming a live event once a week via Wowza Media Server an Amazons EC2. The plan is now to have a record of that event during the week until the next live event and then override the file with the new record. Wowza is an expensive solution for 24/7 and during the week we won't have that much parallel traffic, which led me to nginx with rtmp-module. I played with it and it was no problem to a) livestream with it (RTMP/Flash only) and b) doing a video on demand stream of a file via RTMP/Flash. But for mobile devices like iOS, Android and so on I need to have a http/hls stream like Wowza does. I know it is possible to have a http/hls stream of a live event with nginx and rtmp-module. But I don't know if it is possible to have an on demand http/hls stream with nginx and rtmp-module. I couldn't find any information about that and all example configurations are only for LIVE streaming and not VoD.
Could anyone please tell me:
- Is VoD over http/hls possible with nginx and rtmp-module?
- How would an example configuration look like?
