Why wouldn't it?
Here's your basic HTTP Live Streaming server, it can serve VOD or live events to dozens, perhaps hundreds of users:
cd /path/to/video/and/m3u8 && python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
Done.
CloudFlare caches HTTP objects, therefore CloudFlare caches video.

- simcop2387 12y agoThere may be a limit on the size of the objects, or even the file type that cloudflare will actually cache. Along with that there's many other protocols that get used for serving videos RTMP/E and then another that MS uses for Windows Media Player that I can't remember the name of. All of which won't get cached by cloudflare.

If a website uses YouTube or Vimeo for the videos embedded on your website, then that is compatible with CloudFlare. Streaming content should be on a subdomain CloudFlare doesn't touch, if a customer would still like to speed up the rest of their site.
