EFILLA - Simple M3U8 Streaming Platform

Overview

EFILLA is a lightweight, PHP-based web application for managing and streaming media using M3U8 playlists. It’s designed as a minimal streaming service backend with user authentication, admin controls, and a clean UI for browsing and playing movies or series. Think of it as a simple, customizable foundation for a private streaming platform.

Features

  • User Authentication: Login and registration system with role-based access (ADMIN/USER).
  • Media Management: Admins can add, edit, delete, and reorder movies/series stored in a flat file (f.txt).
  • M3U8 Streaming: Supports streaming M3U8 playlists for movies and series using Video.js.
  • Responsive UI: Glassmorphism-inspired design with a grid-based library and a player with custom controls.
  • Drag-and-Drop Sorting: Admins can reorder media entries via a drag-and-drop interface.
  • Series Support: Handles multi-episode series with episode lists loaded from text files.

Tech Stack

  • Backend: PHP (session-based auth, file-based storage).
  • Frontend: HTML, CSS (glassmorphism), JavaScript with Video.js for streaming and SortableJS for drag-and-drop.
  • Storage: Flat file (f.txt) for media data, JSON (users.json) for user data.
  • External Libraries:
    • Video.js for M3U8 playback.
    • SortableJS for drag-and-drop functionality.

How It Works

  1. User Flow:

    • Users register (register.php) or log in (login.php) to access the library (index.php).
    • The library displays media entries (movies, series, or "top" items) from f.txt, grouped by sections (e.g., --- MOVIES ---).
    • Clicking a movie redirects to player.php with the M3U8 URL. For series, it loads a text file (e.g., seriale/pati.txt) with episode data.
    • The player uses Video.js with custom controls for play/pause, seeking, volume, and fullscreen.

  2. Admin Flow:

    • Admins (role: ADMIN in users.json) access admin.php to manage media.
    • Add new entries (title, type, category, URL, thumbnail) via a form, stored in f.txt.
    • Edit or delete existing entries via AJAX (ajax.php).
    • Reorder entries with drag-and-drop, saved via AJAX.

  3. Data Structure:

    • f.txt: Media entries in the format title | type | category | url | thumbnail, grouped by sections (e.g., --- MOVIES ---).
    • users.json: Stores user data (username, pass (base64-encoded), email, role).
    • Series episodes: Stored in text files (e.g., seriale/pati.txt) with format episode_name | url.

Setup

  1. Requirements:

    • PHP 7.4+ with session and json extensions.
    • Web server (e.g., Apache, Nginx).
    • Write permissions for f.txt and users.json.

  2. Installation:

    git clone https://github.com/edditdev/EFILLA-VOD
cd efilla
    • Copy files to your web server’s root (e.g., /var/www/html).
    • Ensure f.txt and users.json are writable (chmod 664 or equivalent).
    • Create a seriale/ directory for series episode files if needed.

  3. Configuration:

    • Edit users.json to add initial users (passwords are base64-encoded, e.g., MTIz = 123).
    • Update f.txt with your media entries. Example: 
      --- MOVIES ---
My Movie | film | Action | https://example.com/stream.m3u8 | https://example.com/thumb.jpg
--- SERIES ---
My Series | serial | Drama | seriale/myseries.txt | https://example.com/series_thumb.jpg
    • For series, create episode files in seriale/ (e.g., myseries.txt): 
      Episode 1 | https://example.com/ep1.m3u8
Episode 2 | https://example.com/ep2.m3u8

  4. Access:

    • Open http://your-server/register.php to create a user.
    • Log in via login.php to access the library (index.php).
    • Admins can manage content via admin.php.

Usage

  • Users: Browse the library, click tiles to watch movies or series. Series show an episode list in the player.
  • Admins: Use the admin panel to add/edit/delete media, reorder entries, and manage the library structure.
  • Streaming: Ensure M3U8 URLs are valid and accessible. The player supports HLS streaming via Video.js.

Limitations

  • Storage: Flat file (f.txt) and JSON (users.json) limit scalability. Consider a database for larger setups.
  • Security: Basic auth with base64-encoded passwords. For production, use proper hashing (e.g., password_hash) and HTTPS.
  • No Search: Library lacks search/filter functionality.
  • Single Format: Only supports M3U8 streaming.

Contributing

Feel free to fork, tweak, or extend! Submit issues or PRs for bugs, features, or improvements. Ideas:

  • Add a database backend (e.g., MySQL).
  • Implement search/filter in the library.
  • Enhance security with proper password hashing.
  • Support additional media formats.
