This is a basic web server to share files with a custom video and audio player and the rest of files will be interpreted by the browser
The video player supports subtittles and changing the audio track
Some browsers cannot play some video formats because this project is not using transcoding to convert in realtime the video/sound, it only converts the subtitles.
To change the audio track from a video you must need to enable "Experimental Web Platform features" in your browser.
Because of the limitations of HTLM5 it can only play webVTT subs but dont worry it will convert it automatically.
To change the options you can edit the config.cfg inside the bin dir, create a custom one or passing an arg to the main file located in bin/main.py. On that config file you can add ports and IP separated by "," to listen to (for example if you put 2 ports and 2 IPs both IPs will listen both ports) It makes easier to configure it to use it with a load-balancer proxy like nginx Because it will spawn a new process for each port and ip
Requirements:
Python3
Windows/Linux
Dependencys:
python3 flask(pip) pysubs2(pip) ffmpeg(as a command)
Usage:
python3 start.py [config.file] or
python3 bin/main.py -b IP_addr -p port -d directory [--dirsize] [--subtitle_cache]
Logging:
To create a log of all access and responses and erros of the server you can redirect
stderr to a file (2>file), in stdout is only the banner and info
