StreamStudio

StreamStudio (formerly known as ht5streamer) is a cool, open-source app that lets you stream videos from sites like YouTube, Dailymotion, and BitTorrent. It's built using JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS with the handy node-webkit toolkit. Basically, it’s your go-to tool to watch, download, and even convert videos!

Features of StreamStudio

With StreamStudio, you can easily search for and load videos or playlists. Want to download a video? No problem! You can also convert audio from videos into MP3 files. Plus, you can jump around in videos or check out suggested content that might interest you.

User-Friendly Video Player

This app isn't just about downloading; it also serves as a player for your downloaded videos! It supports full-screen mode—you can hit a button or use the Esc key to exit. There’s also a category search feature so you can find exactly what you’re looking for.

Transcoding with FFmpeg

An awesome feature is its ability to transcode video files using the powerful FFmpeg software. This means it supports tons of video formats like AVI, MPEG, MOV, and MKV! You can even set default video quality options like 360p, 480p, 720p, or 1080p for each video.

Plugins Galore!

StreamStudio comes loaded with nine plugins for sites like YouTube and Twitch. These help enhance your streaming experience by giving you more options to choose from!

Watch Anywhere!

You can enjoy your video files via UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) on devices like gaming consoles (PS3 or Xbox), media servers, or smart TVs. It even allows live transcoding and reading of files stored locally!

Your Streaming Setup

The app has both client and server components built-in. This means you can stream live content right through the StreamStudio player or use other popular media players like VLC or MPV.
