Esteemed Monks,

I want to stream video (as in, a video player requests video starting at a specific time (eg: 300 milliseconds), and my program starts up a stream of that video beginning at the requested time).

In the past I have gotten by with Apache and the excellent FLV::Cut or even ffmpeg. However they aren't really *streaming* solutions in that they both just pop out an FLV file beginning at the specified point-in-time within the video.

The honorable Daisuke Murase released Kamaitachi (a Perl Flash Media Server) a couple years ago. I have used it in several projects, but it also does not provide video streaming from static files.

I would expect a nonblocking, streaming server like Twiggy could handle the job if only I could connect the dots. Has anyone else out there done this?
