Video Player

This is a minimalist service that provide a web interface to play MKV videos from an FTP server

Configuration

When starting the container, you must provide the following environment variables

• USERNAME: Name used to authenticate
• PASSWORD_HASH: Hash of the password used to authenticate (how do I get my password's hash ?)
• VIDEO_SERVER_URL: Path to the folder where videos manifest is stored

Hash password

Here is an example of how you can hash your password using python:

import hashlib

my_password = "toto"
password_hash = hashlib.sha256(my_password.encode("utf-8")).hexdigest()
print(password_hash)

Videos manifest

It is a simple JSON file that map a name to a file.

This file must be included along with the videos at the root of your FTP server.

{
    "videos": [
        {
            "title": "My video",
            "filename": "my_video.mkv"
        }
    ]
}
