We are officially introducing Nginx server support on our platform!
Download it directly from the official site:

If you're planning to create a local loopback storage server and share video content with your subscribers — directly from their own devices — Nginx is the perfect solution.

Why do we recommend Nginx?

Because it enables native HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) playback locally, with adaptive resolution support. There's no need for users to change video quality manually — the player will automatically adjust to their internet speed!

Ready-to-Use Configuration (nginx.conf):

Below is a fully pre-configured template supporting HLS and MPEG-DASH. Just copy, paste, and customize as needed:

#user nobody;
worker_processes 1;

events {
worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;

sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;

server {
listen 80;
server_name localhost;

location / {
root html;
index index.html index.htm;
}

# HLS - HTTP Live Streaming
location /hls/ {
alias html/hls/;
types {
application/vnd.apple.mpegurl m3u8;
video/mp2t ts;
}
add_header Cache-Control no-cache;
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
autoindex on;
}

# MPEG-DASH
location /dash/ {
alias html/dash/;
types {
application/dash+xml mpd;
video/mp4 mp4;
video/webm webm;
application/octet-stream m4s;
}
add_header Cache-Control no-cache;
add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
autoindex on;
}

error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
root html;
}
}
}

Tip:

You can rename /hls/ and /dash/ to anything you like — just make sure to update the corresponding folders under html/hls/ and html/dash/.

Beginner-Friendly Option:

If you’re having trouble configuring nginx.conf, we’ll soon offer a simplified setup: a pre-built virtual storage volume using VeraCrypt, compatible with Windows, Linux, and MacOS — formatted under the IEC-13346 (ISO 9660) standard. It works like a modern digital DVD: ready to run directly from the device.

⚠️ Important Note:

External storage is not yet available due to financial limitations. For now, we follow a retro-style model: content must be stored locally on the user’s device, like a CD, DVD, or VHS — but digitally.
