How to Create a Node.js Video Streaming Server

In this article, the process of creating a video streaming server using Node.js is discussed. The key points include installing necessary packages such as cors, express, and nodemon; understanding the application architecture involving routes, file size retrieval, stream creation from files, HTTP 206 code for partial content, and handling data return in two ways. Additionally, the article covers creating backend and frontend components, including a metadata file named metadata.js, video route(s) to handle requests sent from the frontend, and implementing actual streaming of the video using ReadStream. The final part involves running the code and testing it on a local server.
