External drive as in a 4tb usb drive. My internal on this computer is only 1tb, which I could change to a bigger one, but I would still have the issue of being able to access a system program like VLC via the browser. I have read that this is a newer feature to Linux to keep the system safe from server abuse or hacks. The user thing is if anyone was using this on their own website for what ever reason. I had one person download it for a site that distributes pirated movies. I was not real happy about that but... that is on them.

I am not 100% familiar with those but I will do some research on that and see if that solves my issue. Thank you

Apologies if I misunderstood what you are trying to achieve.

I had Plex installed on my xbox and would stream from my computer. it was not hardwired so the quality suffered a little. This is something I wanted to build for myself, it's no where near what Plex is, but I do not really need it to do much.
There is a similar program out there that is no longer supported that actually will pull data from IMDB and fill in all the form fields which is really nice, but it's in PHP5 and will not work on my server using PHP7. The only thing it does not pull is the movie cover. But that program will not link to the movie file and play it. The auto fill would be nice. Data entry is boring LOL.

Do any of you think Python could do this? It is a machine language but I do not know it at all. It is a language I would like to learn but time can be limited.
Thank you for the responses. I would really like to get this worked out.
