(Need suggestions/advice) Im trying to make an offline Video player (like youtube) for a local network/LAN [closed]

The website I host is on my PC using xampp as a local server

what I want to do is to be able to watch videos on my PC (local files like in C:/ and D:/) from any device on a youtube like website as long as we are on the same wifi.

Here is the problem I have to get around:

at first, it wasn't my plan to use the website over a local network, so it was easy to put sources of videos as "file:///c:/video.mp4" and allow firefox to access local files but now that i access it on a different device it does not work because there is no "file:///c:/video.mp4" on that device

I don't want to store all the videos in htdocs as its not possible since those videos are in different directories.

I have no knowledge about how the backend works and this is my first web dev project so I have no idea how to do this

how can I stream a video that's stored locally on one computer to another? is it possible? (please don't kill me I'm new here)

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
