WAMP Server流媒体视频MP4启动耗费了大量时间

Question

I am using WAMP server 2.4. I am streaming MP4 videos. Whenever i request video to stream it took around 3-4 mins to start streaming and once streaming is started it works fine.

I am unable to figure out why it takes to much time to start streaming.

I have tried following link as well but it didn't solve my issue.

Load mod_h264_streaming.dll in Windows Apache2

Please help

Answer 1

Are you using Flash or HTML5 or else to playback the video?

It sounds like the browser/client is trying to get the full length file before playing it back. It could be due to the fact that your MP4 file is not properly formatted for the web (MOOV ATOM is at the end of the file and playback cannot begin without it). You can read there for more info.

I would suggest two things:

• try with a short 10 sec file and see if it plays rapidly
• try a software like handbrake (or MP4Box or ffmpeg if you are more advanced on file transcoding) to transcode your MP4 with the "web optimized" (aka "fast start") check box active.

Let us know if it works.
