Sharing videos Youtube style

[xy16644]

Does anyone know if there is a port that allows one to share videos on your FreeBSD server that has a Youtube type interface?

I'm wanting to share various videos with family and it would be great if there was a port that allowed them to go to a web page and simply click play to view the video!

Is there such a port that I can install that can do this?

Thank you

There is a port net/DarwinStreamingServer which works quite well for this.

Thanks for this! Pity it doesn't support more video formats.

Tried a few of them. The best one was www/subsonic. Unfortunately, very soon it will require registration to play videos. On the other hand, try and see if you like it.

Sunsonic looks quite smart! I'll have a look into this. Thanks for the suggestion.

What other video format are you looking for?

You can use the above in combination with multimedia/ffmpeg to either stream or convert them.
