(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)

I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
