# FLV

The module provides pseudo-streaming server-side support for Flash Video (FLV) files.

It handles requests with the start argument in the request URI's query string specially, by sending back the contents of a file starting from the requested byte offset and with the prepended FLV header.

When [building from the source code](https://en.angie.software//angie/docs/installation/sourcebuild.md#sourcebuild),
this module isn't built by default;
it should be enabled with the
`‑‑with‑http_flv_module`
[build option](https://en.angie.software//angie/docs/installation/sourcebuild.md#configure).

In packages and images from [our repos](https://en.angie.software//angie/docs/installation/index.md#install-packages),
the module is included in the build.
