Description

Hypertube is a torrent-based Netflix-like website.

It allows logged users to search for and watch films in streaming. The search box is directly connected to torrent websites (using their APIs) and, as soon as a user clicks "Play" on a film, the file is downloaded on the server and streamed on the web player at the same time. See hypertube.fr.pdf for details.

This was a 19 Coding School web project. It was coded using MEAN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, Angular, Node.js) for 6 weeks in 2020 by Clio Brichaut (@cbrichau), Adam Ceciora (@adamceci) and Yassine Chahbar (@ychahbar19).

Final grade: 110% (points for implementing bonuses).

Peer evaluations:

115% "Bon Netflix les gars ! Rien à dire, très bon projet ! A la revoyure !"

109% "Super top ! Très grosse motive de votre part de le faire en Angular ce qui vous a fait gagner un point bonus. Site intuitif simple d'utilisation , mieux que la plupart des sites streaming sur le marché !"

Installation

Working as of February 2023.

1. Clone the repo.

2. Create a free MongoDB Atlas cluster and add its link to Hypertube\back\config\database.js at line 7: mongoose.connect('mongodb+srv://USERNAME:PASSWORD@CLUSTER/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority'.

3. Launch the backend by running:

   • cd back
   • npm install
   • nodemon
     • If you get the "os.tmpDir is not a function" error, go to Hypertube\back\node_modules\torrent-stream\index.js and add this at line 36: os.tmpDir = os.tmpdir; (just before var TMP = fs.existsSync('/tmp') ? '/tmp' : os.tmpDir()).
   • The backend should now be running on port 3000.

4. In another terminal, launch the frontend by running:

   • cd front
   • npm install
   • ng serve
     • If you get the "ng command is not found" error, install angular with npm install -g @angular/cli@latest then serve again.
   • The frontend should now be running on port 4200.

5. Open http://localhost:4200/ to view the app.
