My Journey building a high volume streaming website

[Bellox]

Hello everyone!
I have started my journey to make a streaming website some weeks ago. And it has some progress already!

1. Framework/used software
   • Wordpress
     • I used this with a template for a movie website. Though it didn't look as a streaming website with all the functions, it found it a good basis to work from. So I change some code on the template so that it fits.
   • Visual Studio
     • For automating the movie adding proces.
   • Php
     • Used in wordpress to automate the post creation process.
   • HeidiSql
     • Software used to manage my mysql database
   • SEO plugin in wordpress
2. Why I started this
   • I was just wandering through internet watching some movies. I checked the website traffic of a few website and saw they could go from 0 to 5-20million visitors a month in a few months. Like look for "hds .to" on similarweb which is a successful one.
   • Many of them were almost entirely organic through SEO.
   • I also researched how much you could actually make with it. And I hope I can find that link again. Thoguh with the calculations with 10 million visitors a year it was estimated you could make 2 million$ the document sais. As you can put as many Ads as you like.

The Automation Software
What it does is basically taking movie information from an online movie database provider. Like the title, cathegory, plot, etc..

Then it goes to an existing website where it finds the link for the embed video (openload).

I take that link and use it to upload the video to my own streaming account.

Then I put my custom link in the database.
----
This process is completely automatic and it takes on average 15 seconds per movie. So I can get like 5800 movies per day to the database.
----
Secondly I need to write the php script that will take all the data from the database, and make a post per entry provided. It will take the information and add it to the posts meta-data I can easily manipulate afterwards.



This is it for now! I'll get you guys updated on future updates!

Feel free to ask questions, i'm glad to help! And if there are any suggestions I would like to hear them too!

And if annyone with something similar is interrested in cross-promotion on the websites i'm open for it.

How can you handle the link removed after 2 months without playing?

How can you handle the link removed after 2 months without playing?

Good question. Didn't actually know that before.
Though due to the limitations of remote uploads per day, I now actually just copy the links from other servers to my website.
Because they come from big streaming sites they would be less likely to be unused for 2 months in a row.

Later on, when a bigger portion of the movies is owned by me. I could write a script that goes through the entire database and reuploads all the links that aren't available anymore.

Thanks for the question, really helped!
