h.264 streaming support?

[mike]

Problem is we need to use PHP to authenticate the user is allowed to
see the flv file... Igor says it can be used with X-Accel-Redirect.

So if the path was

/video/view/play.php?file=12345

I could do:

location /video/view/ {
   flv;
}

and that would work? Thanks a ton.

I guess it might also be possible to look at outputting the magic FLV
byte string instead of piggybacking it on nginx ... hmm
