It’s really easy to configure Cherokee so it streams audio and video files instead of sending then as a regular file.
The first thing you have to ensure is that Cherokee has been compiled with the required libraries. In this case, the FFMpeg library set is required. Cherokee uses it to extract information of the media files.
To configure Cherokee to stream media files is trivial. The only thing you will have to do is to choose the virtual server on which you want to enable the streaming functionality, and then click on Wizard.
Once in there, the only thing left to do is to click Misc and run the Streaming wizard. Right after which the virtual server will be ready to stream your media files, including MP3, OGG, OGV, MP4, etc.
