CMS online video

Question

CMS

In general, the question was similar here, but my task is somewhat different.
I need a CMS that is compatible with XBMC.

The situation is this: I have a network, I want to organize streaming.
It is convenient if the XMBC client has a menu with a choice of genre and a movie description.

+ it is desirable that when watching a video it does not buffer for 5 seconds, but swings at full speed until it is downloaded.

This is necessary in order to quickly give the file to the client and unload the network, wait for the next client.

Please let me know if there is something similar in the finished form, or how to organize it.

Answer 1

How do you imagine streaming like MKV?
Here you have to transcode, and this is a load on the processor, and not weak.
Or did I misunderstand you?

Answer 2

Not right. The movie will already be in the video files on the railway, encoded.
You can, of course, just arrange a file dump, but I plan to offer set-top boxes for TV with the same XBMC

Answer 3

Clients will have to register a larger cache, and the site will have to draw its own plug-in.

Answer 4

As far as I know, the cache is written for the entire XBMC with one setting. What you want to do is to load immediately, I think it's not logical.
Because if the user started watching a movie and watched for 15 minutes, he still downloaded the whole movie. What clogged his channel, and occupied part of yours.
For example, you have a channel of 100 Mbps, a user has 10 Mbps, you can have 10 simultaneous users with such a channel. Now let's see what happens if there is buffering for 5 minutes ... We take an average movie. 1 GB, one and a half hours long. To download a 1GB file in an hour and a half, you need 1.5 Mbps. Thus, you have a maximum number of users 100 / 1.5 = 60.
Concerning CMS, and a plug-in. You will have to write the plugin yourself, the most important thing is that this CMS has a sane XML / JSON API. You will reduce the headache when writing a plugin.
For starters, you can drop files into directories with movie genres. And set up a template in Apache in DirectoryListing to display a list of files that would return XML, there are a lot of examples on the Internet. And on the basis of this you can try to write a plugin.
