Beam - a simple video streaming service

Two scripts for setting up local video streaming (audio might work aswell)

Server

Run server.py with python3, the only dependency is flask and vlc player. This will open a server on port 5005, listening for these two routes:

  • /open?host=<host>[&port=<port>] This will run vlc on the server and attempt to stream from http://<host>:<port>/stream (default port is 4040). The response will contain the session ID that can be used to control the playback
  • /close/<id> will close the vlc player from the specified connection id

Client

Running client.py <video file> will create a symlink inside an empty temporary directory and start an http server there. Then it will call the /open API of the server specified in the BEAM_SERVER variable inside. Once evrything is running, it waits for any user input and will then clean up (stop the server, remove temp dir, call close on the server)
