# Now Live - an open streaming platform

Have some fun streaming videos :-)

## What is this?

I created this project to experiment some video tools. Could this be an open streaming platform in the future? Yes.

Have you ever used live streaming tools like Youtube, Instagram and Facebook? There is a lot going on behing the scenes.

*Now Live* assembles some of these tools together, creating a platform where people can stream their videos, packaging it for multiple devices using standard video formats.

## How to use?

`make now-live` will build and run all the tools (packager, storage, frontend servers, etc).

`make ingest` produce and ingest a sample video so the packager can produce HLS playlists.

**These two commands must run simultaneously.**

Now you can point your browser to http://localhost:8080/play and play the sample video.
