Hi Guys,
I have a small hobby project to create a nice album for my films I have
stored on my computer (and servers). Besides loading information from
the internet (such as from IMDb) into a nice HTML UI, I'd like to be
able stream the films.

My question is now, is it even possible yet? Without Flash? Do I have to
convert my .mkv files? Targeting mobile devices, I might even need
realtime codec conversions?
Which libraries might be interesting for me?

best regards
Ph

I stream h264 over vanilla http. As long as you implement range
header support, most streaming players are able to seek and play
streaming.

The code I use for my in-lan movie streamer is at:
https://github.com/creationix/movies

I use makemkv when I need to rip dvd's or blue ray disks, and I use
handbrake to encode to h264 that's good for mobile devices. I usually
use the ipad setting.
