For a learning experience, I'd like to create a simple media server using B4J that would serve video files (all .MP4) to Android clients on a LAN. I believe I can figure out the menu, file selection, etc. The question I have is what is the best/easiest way to stream the file from the server to the client?
I looked at B4XSerializator as a possibility but am not sure how to play the file on the client using ExoPlayer.
Another option I looked at is to create a WebApp server and have it send the video link to the client.
Are there any other options?
As this is just for learning and will only be used on my LAN, the solution doesn't have to follow any kind of standard.
