The H264 Streaming Module is a plug-in which can be installed easily on your existing Apache/Lighttpd/Nginx webserver. You can seek to any position in the video, even. The Apache Module h264 Streaming is required to be able to stream the.mp4 video, otherwise you will only be able to view the video after a complete download. I want to add the H264 streaming module to Apache. I'm on Windows using the stack WAMPserver 2.2 with Apache 2.2.22, and I have put the module (mod_h264_streaming.so) in the module directory. I've added the LoadModule code into httpd.conf but, alas, the server doesn't work (the icon shows orange).
The H264 Streaming Module is a plug-in which can be installed easily on your existing Apache/Lighttpd/Nginx webserver. You can seek to any position in the video, even before it is fully loaded. Version 2.0 is a complete rewrite. It works with a wider variety of MP4 video files and has faster start/seek times. Adobe recently announced support for H264 video files in their Flash player.
It has a great feature over the other steaming modules :Timeshifting seek
Enable your viewers to immediately jump to any part of the video regardless of the length of the video or whether it has all been downloaded yet.
Virtual video clips
You have really long video clips and you don’t want to re-encode them into smaller parts? We also support ‘virtual video clips’, so you can specify to only playback a part of the video or create download links to specific parts of the video.
Network efficiency
The next version will feature ‘bandwidth shaping’ allowing you to stream videos and only use the bandwidth required to view the video over the network.
Encoding
If you are already using the widely adopted MPEG4/H264 industry standard, there is no need to re-encode your MP4 videos, you can use your existing video files

Testing the H264 Streaming Module
To test and make sure the modules is working properly, try a mp4 video download to your document root directory:
Install Apache Modules
And then wget http://<your-server-ip/test.mp4?start=55.5or access the url in your web browser.
This saves a file (test.mp4) on your local disk that will have the first 55.5 seconds removed from the original video file. Which you can check with your favorite video player.

You can also move the progress bar to forward and you should be able to see the videos are playing from where you seeked so this saves lot of bandwidth and time.

I'm trying to get the mod_h264_streaming to work with my Apache2 server. I downloaded a precompiled version of the mod from here. I read here that all I have to do is extract the file to my modules folder, which I did, and add
to the httpd.conf, which I also did. However, I get this error when I restart Apache:
Even though the file exists right here:
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

From the name of your Apache installation's directory I assume that you're running Apache 2.0.x. This plugin seems to be broken when being ran on 2.0 branch. The documentation says it's minimal version requirement is 2.0.55 as stated here, but I was not able to run this module at all with 2.0.64 from this official mirror.
I was successful in running that plugin with 2.2.22 (from the same mirror). Can you upgrade the Apache version?
