Local File Streaming Cinema

[MatzeThe0ne]

Is there a Way to Stream Local Files in the Cinema Condo, if one wants to watch a Movie that is not on YouTube?

Linux, NGINX, NGINX FLV Module, FLVJS, VideoJS + FLVJS Module, PHP / HTML Knowledge
You can easily stream anything you want. If you dont mind risking people randomly streaming anything they want to the service you dont even need PHP knowledge Thats just for returning 403 Forbidden if the stream key is invalid.. HTML is needed for FLV / VideoJS setup to play the video in HTML 5 format, because RTMP is flash, which has no support anymore.

basically:
https://github.com/winshining/nginx-http-flv-module (Stream server module for NGINX)
https://github.com/Bilibili/flv.js/ (FLV JS)
https://github.com/mister-ben/videojs-flvjs (VideoJS FLV JS module)
https://videojs.com/ (VideoJS HTML5 media client)
Some PHP/HTML knowledge.

Open port 1935 TCP (iirc) for RTMP connections

Edit:
For anyone reading this:
If you use my method please have atleast the smarts to properly configure the NGINX webserver to accept a script to decline streams who do not provide a proper stream key. Otherwise anyone can stream to your NGINX server with any content they want.

Phew....that Sounds difficult. 0_0

Sounds dangerous. At least limiting the videos to YouTube puts anything that would show on TU screen through YouTube's content filter. I cringe at what we might see if it becomes a free-for-all of locally-owned content.

You're average player who uses Windows wont be able to stream local files without renting a linux server or using a VM or finding an online service that allows direct linking to supported file formats that work in HTML5 (ingame browser)

i might need some help...

The old method doesn't work, as tower's browser (steam) don't support MSE.
You can use icecast, which is easier to configure but it causes insane amount of latency with streaming. but you can atleast provide VOD.
