Building a video server with nodejs

[jg]

Has anyone thought of building a video server with nodejs? Perhaps to
serve streaming flvs and other video formats?

[billywhizz]

have a look at my code here: http://github.com/billywhizz/scratch. i
knocked it together a good while back and haven't updated for latest
node releases, but it's got the beginnings of a youtube downloader and
flv stream server in there if you have a dig...

I've been talking to a few people about building a RTMP library for node.js. Unfortunately, I haven't really met anyone who is good enough to pull it off.

I suspect to do this, node needs better throttling. (Working on it!)

It's not Node, but Nginx has a streaming FLV module. It looks like it's not very complete yet though.

Yeah I mean being able to seek through an FLV is a very small subset of what the RTMP protocol can offer.

The best open-source server right now is http://osflash.org/red5

Sorry disagreeing you, but i think that erlyvideo a Erlang RTMP server(http://github.com/erlyvideo/erlyvideo) its much better than red5 but are just my 2cent's... 

i would love to see a RTMP server in top of nodeJS! :)
