YuTab

Make your own Netflix like a server with an easy to use and modify library where you can share files and videos as well as stream them in seconds.

Link for demo

Inspiration:

Anand's uncle told him how tedious it was to share files and videos in his office by clients (he runs a firm that solves problems and bugs in websites and apps and hence gets demo videos and screenshots). They used to use Google Drive and Dropbox but in the end, it took a lot of time and had memory restrictions too. This is when we decided to make a YuTab

Also- Who doesn't want to make their own YouTube or Netflix?

Accomplishments we are proud of

We were able to actually make the project work within such a small time frame.

What we learned and Challenges we faced

We learned how YouTube works with the m3u8 stream format. It sends video in parts and loads only part by part. A whole video never loads. We stream it in packets.

It took us a while to figure this out.
