Video Streaming Website Development [closed]

This is the first time I am going to work on full-flagged video website development in my life and no idea about streaming technology and related stuffs.

I have no issue with html, css, js, php and other video or any art related tool and familiar with JW Player too.

Now my confusion are as below

  1. How to create streaming video (preferred HTML5 to support all latest platform and devices)
  2. Do I required streaming server to run video website? or just streaming video will be fine and can host on normal dedicated server?
  3. What would be the best way to create full-flagged video website. Is wordpress is the good solution for large viewer? ( As I am much much familiar with wordpress)
  4. What things I should mention while developing.

I am really hopping great help from you expert as before.

Thanks a lot

Can you make a streaming website?

Broadcasters embed their video players to make the media content available to viewers. Users must have good network connectivity to get access to online streaming. Any website can be transformed into a live streaming platform with a professional video player and access to a website's HTML.

Can you embed a live stream on a website?

Video embedding is fairly easy as long as your website design is compatible with the type of streaming you want to set up. You can easily embed live streaming videos directly on your website.

Is Wix good for live streaming?

So while Wix is a great platform for creating a website for your live stream, it's not the best platform for actually streaming live. If you want to stream live on Wix, you'll need to use a third-party service such as YouTube Live, Facebook Live, or Twitch.

If you're using JW PLayer HTML5 is automatic and they also offer their own streaming platform, bitsontherun, which will automatically resolve most of your issues. However, it's not cheap. Otherwise there are a number of issues you need to consider:

  • how many streams you will serve/day
  • total bandwidth
  • do you want to protect videos from leeching, direct download, using in 3rd party sites or apps (increases your bandwidth cost)

I don't use wordpress, but in reading about different things, it seems like wordpress often has compatibility issues with newer video technologies. I would stay away from that if you can already do php , css, html
