How can I allow a user to stream my videos securely?
- by John Baber
I've got a script that records 10 minute videos from a webcam to
video1.mp4
video2.mp4
video3.mp4
video4.mp4
Then records over video1 again in rotation. I'd like one user to be able to view these in winamp or itunes by having a playlist with the four of them on repeat.
(This is my way of getting around the many hours of figuring out how to actually livestream from a webcam with VLC).
I don't see any examples of things like icecast being used for video, and I don't see any mentions of secure streaming.
My question is, is there any way to have these videos be seen securely? I can do things like https on my server, but I don't have great access to the user's machine, so just sharing a directory by samba or sshfs isn't much of an option.
