I hope you have enough bandwidth on your server to allow the streaming of these videos

Will host it on my home Server so plenty of bandwidth and plenty of space.


Side note: Jesus, one can't even put up an example site, the crap you people loaded onto that website hahahahahaha entertaining to say the least.


Cool I'll have a look at what softalicious can offer

I'm using Embera to embed videos into a web page. Oembed is worth looking into.

Essentially all you have to get from the user is the URL to their video from whichever service they used to upload it. Embera figures out the embed code and you paste it in or go fancy and use the video's details to show a placeholder that the user can click to play.

Firstly, thank you for this,

I had a look at this now, not entirely sure I understand it completely, can you maybe pm me a working example if you have? I just want to see what the end result is.

Ahhhhh I see the softalicious in cpanal don't have all the stuff.

Cumulus seems perfect
 
If you really want to host the videos yourself then you might need to brush up on server side scripting. So you will use something like C# to take an uploaded video via an ASP page, convert it to binary, send it over the network and store it on the db. Then for streaming you'll read that binary data back and then load in into a video streamer like VLC on the server and then serve it to the client on request. Computer Sciences 2 here.

Youtube oembed for example:
http://www.youtube.com/oembed?format=json&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xp_imnO6WE

Loading this URL in your browser gives you this JSON:

Code: 
{

    "thumbnail_url": "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1Xp_imnO6WE/hqdefault.jpg",
    "title": "5 Fun Physics Phenomena",
    "type": "video",
    "height": 270,
    "thumbnail_width": 480,
    "thumbnail_height": 360,
    "width": 480,
    "provider_url": "https://www.youtube.com/",
    "html": "<iframe width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/1Xp_imnO6WE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>",
    "author_name": "Veritasium",
    "version": "1.0",
    "provider_name": "YouTube",
    "author_url": "https://www.youtube.com/user/1veritasium"

}

A library like Embera makes it easy to get this information back in a normalised format as an array in PHP. You can then either embed the "html" tag into your page or you can display a placeholder using the thumbnail image.

You can also request different video sizes using oembed.
 
Ah yes that's what it's called
"A Binary Large OBject (BLOB) is a collection of binary data stored as a single entity in a database management system. Blobs are typically images, audio or other multimedia objects, though sometimes binary executable code is stored as a blob."
