    Wowza vs Lighttpd vs Adobe Media Server

    Anyone tried all of these?

    Looking for streaming members videos. Have Wowza now, but curious if the others are better. I see Lighttpd powers Youtube, so that has my attention.

                      Lighttpd is built for speed and has a low memory footprint - Youtube, Wikipedia use it because it's open source and they can build whatever they need from the original framework.

                              Wowza, Lighttpd and NGNIX are all good solutions - picking the best for your business depends largely on the variables specific to your content and traffic.

                              Wowza saves bandwidth in scale, is harder on server resources, delivers the best user experience. Wowza doesn't make much sense for people only doing short clips. The newest version is even better, definitely worth upgrading to.

                              The most recent versions of JW Player and Flow Player are also worth checking out, FYI.

                                      Hey Brad, I've used Adobe FMS from day one. It works fantastic and hardly touches my server, BUT it puts the load on the user's CPU. That's not a problem for most people, but occassionally a person comes along with an older weaker computer and/or a bunch of b.s. programs running in the background on their computer eating up their cpu and it causes problems for their viewing experience.

                                      Are you saying that Wowza flips that around? That the main load goes to the server and not the user's computer? If so I might have to think about buying Wowza and doing a big changeover on my box. I have plenty of unused muscle on my box so that wouldn't be a problem at all.

                                          Adobe charges some absurd amount for every support ticket you put through to them apparently. They charge this even if it turns out to be a bug in their program. Avoid it and use Wowza instead as it is supported better, has a forum etc.

                                              We've never used their support. My guy handles everything on the server and we figure most stuff out ourselves so I'm not familiar with their support. I just know Adobe FMS has never let us down whether it's streaming all of our vids or doing our live streaming shows with hundreds of people viewing and chatting at the same time with Claudia-Marie

                                              But it does tax the viewers cpu big time, especially when streaming an H264 rtmpe stream. And the higher the bit rate the bigger the load on the user end. That's kind of my main line of thought. If Wowza can do the same thing and have my server work harder and the end user's computer not working as hard then that would give me just one more parameter that would be under my control and take away an unknown variable (the viewers computer strength)

                                              Otherwise I'm perfectly happy with FMS. I'm just a bit of a perfectionist and I'm always looking for the tiniest things that can improve something.

                                                  We are having a fucking nightmare with Wowza at the moment. The video quality has to be scrubbed so hard to get it working the end product is unwatchable. Can anyone recommend any Wowza specialists out there?

                                                  We have spent months on this so far and I think that its time to move it to someone who knows what they are doing.

                                                      Wowza is based on Java and that already gives me the shivers when I even think about it...

                                                          I think you are thinking of RED5. That one is java based.
