title: Apache - Streaming HTML5 video without making a webpage for each video
body: <p>I have an Apache 2.2.22 webserver running on Raspbian (RasPi Debian). I have .mp4 files in a folder that I can stream flawlessly to my web browser locally or over the internet.</p>
  
  <p>My Playstation 4, however, won't take a link to a file and stream it; It needs an HTML player to stream the video. I don't want to create a player for every video. I can't make a player where you type the video name and hit play, because the names are too long and there are too many of them. </p>
  
  <p>I don't know any way to get passed this without having to create an HTML page for every video, or at least an HTML page that includes every video.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>I noticed when I viewed the source of a video in Google Chrome, this came up:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head&gt;
  &lt;meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width"&gt;
  &lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
  &lt;/style&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
  &lt;video controls="" autoplay="" name="media"&gt;
  &lt;source src="http://10.0.0.21/media/blahblahblah.mp4" type="video/mp4"&gt;
  &lt;/video&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to force the Playstation (or any browser?) to use this? Instead of the browser (google chrome) automatically applying this HTML to the MP4 video?</p>
