WEBVTT 00:07.200 --> 00:12.540 In this video we'll take a look at video streaming and more specifically the MP for module. 00:12.540 --> 00:14.910 First of all there's modulars not both by default. 00:14.940 --> 00:21.370 So it will have to be added to the install flags during the ball process by setting the flag with hgt 00:21.590 --> 00:27.720 MP for module Now this module doesn't exactly an able video streaming as that would only really require 00:27.750 --> 00:28.940 serving the file. 00:28.980 --> 00:33.990 But if we take a look at the documentation we can see what the module offers his control over streaming 00:34.060 --> 00:36.970 rate and also the streaming buffer sizes. 00:36.990 --> 00:42.510 It also enables pseudo streaming to demonstrate this if added an MP for video file to that original 00:42.510 --> 00:49.230 downloads directory and I'll head over to my editor with the engine X configuration file open and first 00:49.230 --> 00:54.360 of all I'll just define a new location for MP for files from their downloads directory. 00:54.690 --> 01:02.230 Say location regex modifier then matching anything ending with an MP for file extension. 01:03.040 --> 01:09.970 Next I'll set the root directory for this context to slash site slash downloads and define the MP for 01:09.970 --> 01:14.590 module inside the location block then to control the size of processing buffers. 01:14.590 --> 01:20.440 We can say MP for underscore buffer underscore size 4 megabytes. 01:20.470 --> 01:25.540 MP 4 underscore Max underscore buffer size 10 megabytes. 01:25.540 --> 01:30.520 This will simply tell engine X how much memory to allocate to processing the headers of the stream. 01:30.520 --> 01:34.900 Then should a larger buffer be required what the maximum allowed buffer should be. 01:34.900 --> 01:38.690 Anything over this will result in a five hundred internal server error. 01:39.510 --> 01:44.870 Now if we save this reload the configuration file and head over to the browser. 01:45.180 --> 01:50.850 I'll never go to that video file but going to slash big buck by any dot MP for. 01:53.610 --> 01:58.170 And sure enough after a second or two the video starts playing as expected. 01:58.170 --> 02:03.390 Of course most modern browsers will deal with an MP for file just fine but in addition to controlling 02:03.390 --> 02:09.750 buffer sizes as engine X MP for module also allows pseudo streaming meaning that we can actually specify 02:09.750 --> 02:13.770 a starting time and even an ending time for this video. 02:13.830 --> 02:21.220 If I go to the you earlier and specify start equals say 15 seconds and hit enter. 02:21.390 --> 02:24.540 This video will now start playing at 15 seconds in. 02:25.450 --> 02:31.140 So overall a very helpful module and really a must have for any Web site with streaming video content.
