Mytube On My Network

‘ I want Youtube on my local network ‘

Media Streaming Server . It’s been 3 days i’ve been looking for software that fit my need. A software that can serv/stream media files(videos) to all clients in my network,  like youtube. I need it so bad for some important videos . Nothing … i found nothing. I tried bunch of them, but still nothing.” i’m thinkin … thinkin … thinkin, and suddenly i know ” . Naaahhhh, that’s from the cartoon series called Pinky Dinky Doo.

For the last time, i clicked on a link & download it & tried it. It’s my lucky day. It’s from NCH Software. Let’s take a look.

1. Installation ?

Just go for it.

2. Configuration

hhmmmm … nothing. Would i lie to you ? It’s ready as soon as it’s installed. Try it. Browse to http://youripaddress:86 or http://computername:86 . There, you can see the … i mean it’s half-way ready, i haven’t add any videos yet. It’s my bad, sorry.

o.k. Before adding video, this is the section for this purpose

Pre-recorded section

Pre-recorded section

the other is for Live Video Stream.

3. Add videos

Click on ‘Add’ button to add a video, then you’ll see ‘video playback option’ then it’ll start converting the video. Pictures ? sure …

Add video file

Add video file

At this point, videos already available through default address http://computername:86 but i’d like to move to step 4 to make it  more cool.

4. I created a simple html website with IIS on Windows XP (for testing). Then copy the video source file into it. Everything is good ? Good.

Would you like to see my Youtube ? i mean Mytube ? Later …

5. How can we test it ? I have no idea how to test it. I’m just a guy …

So, i create a test page with 5 videos on it (autoplay). Load it from 6 clients at the same time. You know, just to see what happens to my server (it’s a pentium4 2.4 gHz) or to my network. I had never tried media streaming before.

… and all videos on all clients playing smoothly. I smiled , yeahh …

Welcome to MyTube … (it’s not finished yet)

Mytube

Mytube

‘What ? you went throught all that … for Naruto movies ?’ … ha ha ha, that’s the idea. Now i can watch my favourite anime anywhere in my network. ‘ i told you it’s for some important videos, right ? ‘.

Finally, big thanks to NCH Software & thanks to all readers.

O.k i’m done .
