ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Firstly you would need to have a dedicated server and a CDN. Having a dedicated server is mandatory for video streaming site. Secondly, you would need to have a video player. There are a few free/commercial video players (e.g. JWPlayer, FlowPlayer). Google them. Thirdly, you would need to be able to code in PHP, HTML, JAVASCRIPT, MYSQL, jQUERY(optional) & AJAX(optional). Lastly, you must have a good web designing skills Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243481-build-a-youtube-like-website/#findComment-1250196 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 you would need to install FFmpeg on your dedicated server. be aware that video streaming sites use a massive bandwidth thus CDN would come in handy. CDN in a box would be very useful as it is hosted and manage by google if im not wrong. but definitely its using google engine to power your site. http://www.cdninabox.com/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243481-build-a-youtube-like-website/#findComment-1250202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 you may also want to look at CloudFlare as they have free cdn. I have tried it yet. Trying it now.

JonnoTheDev Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Download this script. It is a youtube clone. Pull it to bits and you will see how all the upload, conversion, etc is done http://www.phpmotion.com/ The server needs certain software already mentioned such as FFMPEG. The info is all there on the website link.
