Based heavily on the [browser video streaming](https://github.com/ipfs-examples/js-ipfs-examples/tree/master/examples/browser-video-streaming) example from JS-IPFS.
Accepts three query parameters:
- `hash`: required. The IPFS hash of a folder containing an HLS playlist and its files.
- `source`: optional, defaults to `master.m3u8`.
- `title`: optional, allows overriding the browser tab title.
Here are commands you can use to encode and upload a video to IPFS:
```
mkdir output
cd output
ffmpeg -i ../yourVideoFilename.mp4 -profile:v baseline -level 3.0 -start_number 0 -hls_time 5 -hls_list_size 0 -f hls master.m3u8
ipfs add -Qr .
```
The output from the `ipfs` command is the hash to use with this page.
