I’ve a large video file (mp4 format. few gbs in size).

I want the user be able to seek randomly to any portion of the video without having to buffer (kinda like youtube)

I would prefer a HTML5 video player on the browser (esp on iOS devices)

What would a typical server architecture look like? I am very new to media servers, so I wondering if FMS (flash media server) or Wowza media server solve this problem or is a self hosted solution simpler? Do I even need a full blown media server? Again, I am noob when it comes to media servers and stuff.

Also any recommendations for a video player?

    In nowadays, video streaming doesn’t need a special video streaming server any more.

    For your application, you can just use Apache or Nginx, and fetch the HTTP link of the video content to the iOS device, the iOS device will do video streaming via HTTP transport.
