# Node.js Video File Streamer

A Node js Video Streamer Which Uses Express Web Server And Raw HTTP Methods And Headers To Serve Videos.

The `server` is responsible for streaming the video.

It contains two files.

- `app.js` launches a simple http server.

- `videoStreamer.js` is the core file that contains the API and the code that streams the video.

The `client` is just a simple html page that casts the video for testing.

## Server:

### Running the server:

```bash

# Installing dependencies

npm install

# Running the server

node ./server/app.js

```

### Changing the default config:

Config file is located in `./server/config`

- Adding a video file to the server:

    - Add the file to the `./server/video/` directory, or change the config file to use another directory for your video source.

- Change server listening port:

    - Default port is `8583`. You can change it by editing the config file.

## Testing the setup:

After running the server, send a `Get` Request to:

`http://localhost:/:videoName`

Or just open the `./client/client.html` file in your browser

```bash

# Run the server using

node ./server/app.js

# Open browser and type this in the url:

http://localhost:8583/stream/example.mp4

# OR open the ./client/client.html file

```
