Dear All, I am curious to know if IceCast can be used for audio/video on-demand streaming over http/https. My basic understanding is that IceCast runs in broadcast mode. As such, it may not be ideal for my particular use case, wherein, I wish to stream media files on demand to multiple browser based clients who may request the same media file at different times. Is it possible at all then to use IceCast as a VoD streaming server by itself or in combination with an HTTP server like nginx or apache? Kindly share your thoughts/experiences. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Nitin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast/attachments/20170602/1e8662c0/attachment.htm>

Dear Marvin/Yahav, Thank you for your clarification/advice. Yahav, unfortunately, nginx+rtmp doesn't seem to support webm streaming as yet. So, I was looking for alternatives. Flumotion supports webm, but the open source version doesn't seem to be too active for some years now. Guess, I might have to write something myself now... :) Have a great weekend!
