99% of our tube customers use wowza/fms few use lighttpd still.

So in terms of user satisfaction ( and if we understand that as playing the movies as fast as posible and in "real time" [ again, meaning real time that he feels it that way even when its not technically real time :P ] ), what would be the best solution?
Would you still recommend a real streaming solution such as adobes or Wowzas, or you would go with lighttpd and their flv streaming plugin which gives the player the capability of caching the http stream ( I guess it uses the Content-Range headers ) ?
Ps: Thanks a lot for the answers
You really seem to know real life cases and the technologies they use
thats what i was hoping to find here
