I just put together a server with nginx and rtmp so I could stream live from my own server. I, for the life of me, cannot figure out how to create a web page that shows the old videos and then be able to click on them and have them play in a web browser. Kinda like a personal youtube thing.
I’ve tried a bunch of examples I’ve found online but none of the seem to work. Does anyone have a php script I can use or can point in a direction of one. I’ve been at it for a week already and I’m out of adult beverages.
Well, first, maybe all the adult beverages is the cause! Ha!
So, Nginx is a server system for larger apps. That should work for a Youtube type of server system.
But, rtmp is flakey. It is discribed as:
Real-Time Messaging Protocol was initially a proprietary protocol developed by Macromedia for streaming audio, video and data over the Internet, between a Flash player and a server. Macromedia is now owned by Adobe, which has released an incomplete version of the specification of the protocol for public use.
Since Macromedia does not support it and Adobe has dropped it’s Flash player, I see no sense in using it for viewing videos. HTML5 has it’s own viewer system. But, there are millions of these templates out there and a lot of them are free. Here is a list of some, just skip the ads and look down to the list. This page gives you 15 ideas… It really depends on how you want to display them and the type of videos you want to include. Peek at these and then ask further questions… [https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/15-best-html5-video-players--cms-28589](http://15 HTML5 video systems…)
