Good work!

u/Alexander_Alexis Jan 14 '25
add direct mp4 links! so it's not masked! so something like dogwebsite.com/woahhh.png
or dogwebsite.com/sonicmovie.mp4
instead of dogwoww.com/weqitqwiotoqiwtoiqiowtiuoqtuiqwuituiqwtoiqouwitqiwuot/qthwqht

its always great to see more options being made .i definitly gonna test it out as a normal tv steaming option
alongside my jellyfin arr stack on unraid
would love to see it added as a unraid community plugin
thank you

u/gmsec Jan 13 '25
Thanks! Once I've made a proper dockerfile, publishing this as a unraid plugin should be quite easy! Thanks for the idea!

Cool project. Have you considered adding docker support?
23
u/gmsec Jan 13 '25
Thanks! I haven't done it yet, but it's definitely something I'll do, writing a dockerfile for a sveltekit app should be quite straightforward

u/himsin Jan 13 '25
Stared the repo on github. Looks really promising. Looking forward to the pre-built docket image.
16
u/gmsec Jan 13 '25
Thanks for your support! Allright dockerfile it is then, I'll add it asap and see about releasing a prebuilt one

What are the more common alternatives to this?
11
u/gmsec Jan 13 '25
Any online "classic" streaming website I guess like fmovies etc. otherwise for local streaming I think streamio is the standard nowadays (using torrents)

sry for the ignorance but could you explain?

u/knot13 Jan 14 '25
It allows for almost unrestricted use, modification, and distribution of the software.

u/the_last_action_hero Jan 14 '25
... which means that when another company decides to fork the software, make changes, keep those changes secret, and charge users for it, the original author can't do anything about it.
If you don't want to be that person, switch to the AGPL.

Is there a sample (demo) of any site hosted from this. Want to test it before installing and testing for deploy.
Was searching one for deplying privately for faster frontend load, own caching rules, no ads, be easy to use with remote controls, etc. Wanted to do it for me and couple of my friends.
tried sudo-flix,and its variation, its whole way was not just embed from vidsrc** but scraping from it, and I think that approach has issues.

u/gmsec Jan 14 '25
Hello, as this moment there is no public instance available. I've just published steps for running it with docker, might make it easier to try out!

u/NoPie6772 Jan 13 '25
Be sure to take all precautions to not even remotely imply a potential usage by pirates. Go full plausible deniability.

u/sevenumb Jan 13 '25
Nice work. I saw your GitHub on how to set it up. But is there some sort of free online service where we could set it up, so we can easily share it with non-tech savvy people?

It will be great if there a way to install this easily for noobie like me... maybe a docker image

u/rumster Jan 14 '25
If you need help make it completely accessible let me know I can help you make changes. It would be amazing to make it the most accessible piece of software as well. :)

Great work! Check out solchat as they have cool features you could use/apply.

u/aldlyre Jan 15 '25

Can i spin this up using a docker container?
Edit: got off my lazy ass & clicked the github repo, the answer is yes.

It's not "packaged", so it can be used anywhere as long as you know how, linux should be the easiest platform to run it

Thx in advance!

u/gmsec Jan 14 '25

I was using 123movies on the Xbox browser, but then it stopped working.
I can't find a new site that works on it without it going to endless popups.
Do you think your site will work?
2
u/gmsec Jan 14 '25
If you start the server on your computer, you should be able to access it from the xbox browser. Computer and xbox browser must be on same local network

Is this a foss stremio
16
u/gmsec Jan 13 '25
This really don't work like stremio; my app works by streaming over http from 3rd-party video hosting services contrary to stremio that uses torrents. See it like an open-source fmovies

Can someone point me into the right direction to making a streaming website like this or similar to it ? Been wanting to make or attempt to make one for a while specifically for anime. I’m assuming to learn JavaScript, css, html. Maybe learn to make a script to scrape all the content from other websites and host the links to my page ? Any help would be appreciated

I think the developer is creating a docker image. I'm also waiting for a more user friendly way of setting this up.

u/Silly-Option6906 Jan 14 '25
Can’t make a post due to not enough karma, can anyone tell me the best way/best sites to download movies to my MacBook Pro and get them on my Samsung smart tv 🙏 I’ve been using random movie sites with a hdmi cable adapter but it is laggy when played on the TV. Looking for the best visuals, much appreciated

Ahoy, mateys!
I recently made this streaming web app. As I wanted to try out sveltekit, I got the idea of this project since I wanted to at least spend time on something useful.
The video providers are VidSrc, VidSrc Pro and Embed.su. All pictures, descriptions, search results, etc. come from TMDB using their public API. There is no download option, no torrenting support, it's just pure streaming.
Features are pretty basic: you have comments, with emoji support, some formatting, replies to comments, liking comments, reporting comments and sorting comments. There is also a user watchlist and a search and sorting feature. There is no "continue watching" feature, I tried to implement it but simply couldn't succeed in fetching the current playback timestamp from the video player iframe.
For TV shows, you can select a season, an episode, and skip to next or previous episodes.
There is an integrated captcha generation for the user registration, and an attempt at caching/compressing images loaded from TMBD. Lastly, there is an "admin" account available to review the flagged comments.
I know there are a lot of similar projects, however, my goal was to make something using a modern tech stack (babe wake up a new JS framework just dropped), with all the basic features, and a simple structure and codebase so it could be used by others.
There is no public demo instance, you'll have to launch the project locally if you want to try it (you don't need to setup the database in order to launch the website and use it locally, however if you plan on hosting it, it's better to setup the MySQL database to have all the features working).
I'm not planning on adding new features in the foreseeable future because I don't really have time and I don't like working alone on someting for too long, but don't hesitate to contribute if you feel like it, I'll be glad to discuss improvement ideas & suggestions!
Here is the repo: https://github.com/gmonarque/streamium/
Thanks for your feedback :)!
