Mazter Jedi 1 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Curious if this is even possible. I store all my movies in MP4. I play a game a game online and one of the in-game decorations allows the ability to stream MP4 files. Is there any way to stream my own files, already encoded in MP4, thru a direct link, into the game? I did't see any obvious answers in the settings. TIA.

Luke 37099 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Hi, so what you're asking for is the ability to get a direct video url, is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazter Jedi 1 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 Affirmative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37099 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 There's no easy way to do this. The best answer i can give is to sniff the url from the download feature, and even that won't last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazter Jedi 1 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 But unfortunately, it didnt work @@chef. Or i dont know how to find the direct download link *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3746 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 My first instinct, and probably the easiest way to a playabck URL is to try this: however I'm not entirely sure that that url is correct. You would have to start playback in the web app and see where the video source is coming from. This would cause issues if the video source was being transcoded because that source would only exists during the lifetime of playback in the transcode folder (I think). If this way does, in fact, give you stream to playback elsewhere (Im not entirely sure it will), there is no way to guarantee stability of this url. The harder way would be to authenticate a user in an app, and make stream requests through the API. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazter Jedi 1 Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Unfortunately Chef, that didnt work. But thanks for trying. I need a valid URL ending with .mp4 and just tacking .mp4 on the end didnt work. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
