This Tutorial will teach you how to install AVideo Platform Streamer Site what means it is the front end of AVideo Platform. You can watch it running at https://demo.avideo.com/ or https://tutorials.avideo.com/

If for any reason you need help to set up the AVideo Platform app or the server, feel free to ask us for help:

Just copy and paste this:

if you want to install both (encoder and streamer) use this compiled code:

sudo apt-get install apache2 php7.0 libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0-mysql php7.0-curl php7.0-gd php7.0-intl mysql-server mysql-client ffmpeg git libimage-exiftool-perl && cd /var/www/html && sudo git clone https://github.com/DanielnetoDotCom/YouPHPTube.git && cd /var/www/html && sudo git clone https://github.com/DanielnetoDotCom/YouPHPTube-Encoder.git && sudo apt-get install python && sudo curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl && sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl && sudo a2enmod rewrite

or if you want installs the streamer use this:

sudo apt-get install apache2 php7.0 libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0-mysql php7.0-curl php7.0-gd php7.0-intl mysql-server mysql-client git && cd /var/www/html && sudo git clone https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo.git

or following the instructions

LAMP is short for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. This tutorial shows how you can install an Apache web server on an Ubuntu 16.x server with PHP 7 (mod_php) and MySQL. A LAMP setup is a perfect basis for your AVideo Platform.

FFmpeg is a free software project that produces libraries and programs for handling multimedia data. FFmpeg includes libavcodec, an audio/video codec library used by several other projects, libavformat (Lavf), an audio/video container mux and demux library, and the ffmpeg command line program for transcoding multimedia files.

Git is a version control system (VCS) for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people.

To install LAMP and Git just open a terminal and type the following line:

sudo apt-get install apache2 php7.0 libapache2-mod-php7.0 php7.0-mysql php7.0-curl php7.0-gd php7.0-intl mysql-server mysql-client git

after all installations are complete type this command line:

cd /var/www/html && sudo git clone https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo.git

Rewrite-modules

This is a important step.

We need to allow Apache to read .htaccess files located under the directory. You can do this by editing the Apache configuration file:

Find the section <directory /var/www/html> and change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride All

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

After editing the above file your code should be like this:

<Directory /var/www/>
          Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
          AllowOverride All
          Require all granted
  </Directory>

In order to use mod_rewrite you can type the following command in the terminal:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

Restart apache2 after

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

or

sudo service apache2 restart

The Encoder

We recommend that you use a AVideo Encoder privately, it is also available for free and open source and you can download it here and also we made some installation instructions. But if you are limited in hardware or software resources feel free to use our public encoder https://encoder.avideo.com/

We hope you have fun! If you need help, have any question or Issue please open an Issue on https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/issues
