Setup

Setting up Node-TV is fairly straight forward. You will need to have git, node, and npm installed before using this guide.

1. Clone the repository from GitHub git clone git@github.com:projectmakeit/node-tv.git
2. Setup media.json. Media.json holds your media library. Adding new movies or music is currently done through this file. Support for DB storage is coming soon.
3. Download dependencies. npm install
4. Run Node-TV node app.js
5. Open player/remote. <your-ip>:8000/remote.html or <your-ip>:8000/player.html
6. Profit!

Congradulations, you now have a go-anywhere media private media stream. If you have a router, you may need to forward port 8000 to the public before you can access the server outside your home/office. Please refer to the documentation included with your router for more information.
