Home Streaming Server

Why?

I want to implement simple own home web streaming server. No need other provider, because I just need to watch a movie. Require basic auth username and password. I use cloudflared to online without expose public IP. It supports picture-in-picture mode too, so is good to watch on ipad, mobile phone, and browser.

How?

I store my source movie into mkv file. There are video, subtitle (English), and cover (JPG). I convert the mkv file into playlist.m3u8 which include video.m3u8 and audio.m3u8, and also convert subtitle to subtitles.vtt. The video segments in format video_n.ts, and audio segments in format audio_n.ts. I run script.fish movie1.mkv movie2.mkv ... to pre-convert what movie I want to watch then write into default folders segments. For series or movie collections, my server support nested directory too.

segments
├── movie1 -> playlist
└── series
    ├── season1
    │   ├── ep1 -> playlist
    │   └── ep2 -> playlist
    └── season2
        └── ep1 -> playlist
