What Is This?

This is a custom media server written in node JS to stream videos from a remote server. This web system enables users to log into the system and view videos using the basic HTML 5 video player.

Why?

  • Universal and will run on any device with a web browser
  • Supports buffering which is useful when connecting to a remote server
  • Gained security because you don't need to grant everyone user accounts to view content from media server

Why just not use Plex?

  • Light weight
  • Easy to install
  • Easily expandable and hackable to fit your needs
