Requirements

• python-socketio

Installation

1. Replace DOMAIN_NAME with your domain name where you will host your Python server.
2. Specify the SSL certificate and key in socketServer.py.
3. Specify videoURL in socketServer.py and change allowWatch to True, if you want to start watching after you setup everything. If you specify videoURL, but allowWatch is set to False, clients will get the Please wait for administrator to start movie... message.
4. Serve the socketClient folder using a web server (e.g. nginx).
5. Run socketServer.py.
6. Access the newly configured socketClient in your browser and enjoy watching.

Where will socketClient work?

Any browser, which supports HTML5 (video tag) and JS, will work.
