This is a Golang project to build a self hosted "tube"-style video player for watching your own video collection over HTTP or hosting your own channel for others to watch.
Some of the key features include:
- Easy to add videos (just move a file into the folder)
- No database (video info pulled from file metadata)
Currently only supports MP4 video files so you may need to re-encode your media to MP4 using something like [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/).
Since all of the video info comes from metadata it's also useful to have a metadata editor such as [EasyTAG](https://github.com/GNOME/easytag) (which supports attaching images as thumbnails too).
By default the server is configured to run on 127.0.0.1:0 which will assign a random port every time you run it. This is to avoid conflicting with other applications and to ensure privacy. You can configure this to be any specific host:port by editing `config.json` before running the server. You can also change the RSS feed details and library path from `config.json`.
