Streaming Using fluent-ffmpeg

suggest change

You can also use flent-ffmpeg to convert .mp4 files to .flv files, or other types:

res.contentType(‘flv’); 

var pathToMovie = './public/' + req.params.filename;

var proc = ffmpeg(pathToMovie)

    .preset('flashvideo')

    .on('end', function () {

        console.log('Stream Done');

    })

    .on('error', function (err) {

        console.log('an error happened: ' + err.message);

        res.send(err.message);

    })

    .pipe(res, { end: true });
