Question

See more:

We have an asp.net project which adds and plays video files(.mp4) for users. It is ok to upload videos to any web server and play from there. But the problem is how can we play the video files which are located at the user's network storage or cloud storage which is not a web server? Is the only way to install iis? What is the cheapest way?

Thanks in advance

XML

You can use JW Player to play the video on demand or live stream.
Example if your video saved on AWS S3 bucket

<div id="myElement"></div>

<script>
    jwplayer("myElement").setup({
        file: "https://s3.amazonaws.com/TestBucket/Video/video.mp4",
        width: 640,
        height: 360
    });
</script>

I'm already using JW Player to play video files.
But how can I play the video file from user's network storage?
