-# tube [![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/wybiral/tube?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/github.com/wybiral/tube)
+# tube
-This is a Golang project to build a self hosted "tube"-style video player for watching your own video collection over HTTP or hosting your own channel for others to watch.
+`tube` is a Youtube-like (_without censorship and features you don't need!_)
+Video Sharing App written in Go which also supports automatic transcoding to
+MP4 H.265 AAC and multiple collections and RSS feed.
+
+## Features
-Some of the key features include:
- Easy to add videos (just move a file into the folder)
+- Easy to upload videos (just use the builtin uploader and automatic transcoder!)
+- Builtin ffmpeg-based Transcoder that automatically converts your uploaded content to MP4 H.264 / AAC
+- Builtin automatic thumbnail generator
- No database (video info pulled from file metadata)
-- No JavaScript (the player UI is entirely HTML)
+- No JavaScript (the player UI is entirely HTML, except for the uploader which degrades!))
- Easy to customize CSS and HTML template
- Automatically generates RSS feed (at `/feed.xml`)
- Clean, simple, familiar UI

Since all of the video info comes from metadata it's also useful to have a metadata editor such as [EasyTAG](https://github.com/GNOME/easytag) (which supports attaching images as thumbnails too).
-By default the server is configured to run on 127.0.0.1:0 which will assign a random port every time you run it. This is to avoid conflicting with other applications and to ensure privacy. You can configure this to be any specific host:port by editing `config.json` before running the server. You can also change the RSS feed details and library path from `config.json`.
