A decentralized video streaming platform (dApp) using Ethereum and IPFS
------------------------------------------
# Existing System
- Increased cost of storage due to number of servers.
- Revenue model is entirely dependent on targeted advertisements.
- Censorship control over content.
- Unfair revenue share provided to content creators.
------------------------------------------
# Our System
- We have built a decentralized video streaming platform.
- We have used Ethereum to store the number of likes, number of subscribers, and video metadata.
- We have used MySQL to store video comments, user profile details etc.
- We have used IPFS to store the videos.
- We have developed a crypto-incentive system , where the content creator is awarded with DTC tokens (ERC-20 tokens).
- We have also setup a collaborative IPFS cluster where users are given a choice to join and distribute content.
------------------------------------------
### Features
- `Video Search`: This feature provides search results to the user which is sorted wrt views/upload date.
- `Quick Preview`: This feature provides the user with a gist of the actual video.
- `Video Resumption`: This feature resumes the video from its last playback position.
- `Decentralized Storage`: The user can stream the video content from any IPFS Gateway.
- `"Decency" & "Transparency"`: Decent Smart contract which handles payments instantly.

### Future Scope
- Real-time live streaming.
- A provision for semantic search.
- A video recommendation system.
- Integrating social logins with the dApp using Torus API.
- Implementing a full-fledged DRM system to avoid piracy.
- Optimizing the video encoding process
- Upgrading the web technology stack to MEAN or MERN.
- Implementation of an in-browser video editor.
- Provision to query Ethereum by writing SQL-like queries.
