# NOTT - New OTT

In the three-post series, we’re going to build:

*  a simple [**video platform**](https://leandromoreira.com/2020/04/19/building-an-open-source-ott-platform/) using open-source software (nginx-rtmp, ffmpeg, nginx)

* add [code](https://leandromoreira.com/2020/04/19/empowering-nginx-with-lua-code/) on the front end (lua)

* design a platform that will enable to [**add code dynamically**](https://leandromoreira.com/2020/04/19/building-an-edge-computing-platform/) (redis cluster)

# Architecture

![an overview of the NOTT project](/img/ott_overview.png "an overview of the NOTT project")

# How to use it

```bash

# make sure you're using MacOS

git clone https://github.com/leandromoreira/nott.git

cd nott

make run

# wait until the platform is up and running

# and run the video generator in another tab

make broadcast_tvshow

# ^ for linux users, you might need to use --network=host 

# and your IP instead of this docker.for.mac.host.internal

# for windows user I dunno =(

# but you can use OBS and point to your own machine

# open your browser and point it to http://localhost:8080/app

# in a different tab - you can test the stream

http http://localhost:8080/hls/colorbar.m3u8

# in another tab - let's add CU to redis

# -- first need to discovery the redis cluster id

docker ps | grep redis

# -- then let's connect to the redis cluster

docker exec -it f44ed71b3056 redis-cli -c -p 7000

# inside redis-cluster let's add the CU

set authentication "rewrite||local token = ngx.var.arg_token or ngx.var.cookie_superstition \n if token ~= 'token' then \n return ngx.exit(ngx.HTTP_FORBIDDEN) \n else \n ngx.header['Set-Cookie'] = {'superstition=token'} \n end"

sadd coding_units authentication

# go back and test the stream response - you should eventually (after max 20s)

# receive 403 as response

http http://localhost:8080/hls/colorbar.m3u8

# add the token and it'll work again

http http://localhost:8080/hls/colorbar.m3u8?token=token

```
