Streamify

Streamify is a movie streaming platform that allows users to stream their favorite movies in different resolutions. It features a seamless login and registration experience using SSO (Single Sign-On) via OneAccess. Admin users can upload movies, which are then stored in MinIO and transcoded into multiple resolutions for the best user experience.

Features

• User Authentication & Registration: Secure login and registration using SSO via OneAccess.
• Admin Dashboard: Admins can upload movies, which are stored in MinIO and transcoded to different resolutions.
• Streaming Service: Users can browse, select, and stream movies in various resolutions based on their network bandwidth.
• Responsive UI: The user interface is fully responsive and user-friendly.

Technologies Used

• Frontend: React
• Backend: FastAPI
• Storage: MinIO for storing media content
• Transcoding: Automated transcoding of uploaded movies to multiple resolutions
• Authentication: SSO (Single Sign-On) with OneAccess
