This is a simple web based media hosting server.

Videos are grouped by folders and listed in a table with the file name and date. This is good for a home server and provides fast and easy access to media. You can think of it as a fully self hosted Plex server without all the fluff. The website is responsive by design and works on mobile devices. HVEC support depends on the device used.

Installation

Requirements

• Apache 2.4.x
• PHP 8.x (Thread Safe)

Setup

• Install Apache Web Server
• Install PHP 8
• Set your document root to this folder in Apache's httpd.conf file.
• Set up a port in Apache's httpd.conf file. - If you want to watch your media while outside your home, set up port forwarding on your router with this port number.
• Create symbolic links in the resources folder that point to where videos are stored.
  • The default folder is defined on the second line of index.php as RESOURCE_DEFAULT.
    It's shown when the user does not specify a folder in the URL.
• Run apache and the website will show up on your Public IP Address and port number like {ip}:{port}
  • If you did not set up port forwarding, your Local IP Address will work the same way.
• Optionally, you can set up Apache virtual hosts using the snippet provided in doc/setup to add security and support multiple websites on the same Apache server. It will prevent directory indexing, which allows anyone to browse your resources folder directly by default.

Usage

• The URL will be your public IP address, followed by the port used by your Apache server.
• Different folders are accessed with ?dir=foldername after the website's URL.

Supported File Types

• MP4
• MKV

You can support more file types by adding them to the FILE_TYPES array in the config.php file.
