In this project we are trying to apply blockchain technology to decentralized me-dia streaming using the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). In order to save andretrieve big amounts of data (videos in our case) we used IPFS to address this databy saving the permanent, immutable IPFS hashes to the blockchain. We’ve built Asimple decentralized web application (front-end) using React framework for upload-ing videos to IPFS. IPFS will store this videos and address it by a hash, our appwill get this hash and send it to Ethereum blockchain where it’s going to be storedwith some information that identifies this video. Our solidity smart contract willbe responsible for connecting the web application with the blockchain and savinghashes to it. After that we will send the hashes to a player to play it . Metamask browser extention should be added to enable the interaction with the blockchain.
