Stream decoding

All incoming streams are not decoded by default. This behaviour is specified by option

streaming_video_decoder_fast_start=false

Incoming stream will be decoded on request only:

1. If transcoding is necessary

2. If decoding is necessary when taking a PNG snapshot of the stream

In the cases above, decoder is created only for the time of transcoding or snapshot taking, and is stopped after the operation is completed.

This option may be switched on in flashphoner.properties file if necessary:

streaming_video_decoder_fast_start=true

Then, all the incoming streams will be decoded. It may increase the server load.
