Play Videos in Your Browser Using Laravel Video Player

As I was living in a village, my internet connection wasn't good enough to play online videos directly. So I need to download videos from udemy, youtube sites. To watch those videos I need to go to each folder and watch them.

Instead of using vlc and manual watching videos, I tried to build a laravel project where I can watch all videos under a folder. I can categorize them as well by topic.

to download this project visit

https://github.com/polodev/laravel-video-player

It's a Laravel project. just clone it, create a database, and connect database in your .env file

First clone project from github and cd into this project inside terminal



git clone https://github.com/polodev/laravel-video-player
cd laravel-video-player
cp .env.example .env


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

copy .env.example file to .env and add your database credential



DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel_video_player
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

In my case database name in laravel_video_player.

website container class and default video width

you can change website container class and default video width from .env file.



CONTAINER_CLASS=container
VIDEO_WIDTH=1200


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

CONTAINER_CLASS class can be bootstrap container or container-fluid class

Downloading composer package and dumping for autoload



composer install

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode




make a series

copy a folder location from your file manager. go to the create series page by clicking Create series from the menu.

once you created a series, go to series and go to specific series and click on Generate / Regenerate Videos button. It will generate all videos
