Software Requirements Specification (SRS)

1. Introduction
This section captures the system requirement specifications for Live Video Streaming.
This document provides an overview of the entire SRS with purpose, scope,
definitions, acronyms, abbreviations, references and overview.

1.1. Purpose
The purpose of this SRS document is to provide a detailed requirements for the
Live video Streaming site which allows anyone to broadcast video online. In the

1.5. Overview
This SRS will provide a detailed description of the Online Live Video streaming.
This document will provide the outline of the requirements, overview of the
characteristics and constraints of the system.

2. Overall description
2.1. Product perspective
Streaming video has changed how we watch videos online by no longer making it
necessary to wait for a whole video file to download before starting playback.
More and more people have access to broadband, which the technology requires

connections, those with slower connections may experience issues with playback
and/or poor quality.

For Free subscribers streaming video files is harder to copy and prevents users
from saving a copy to their computer. Only paid user can record and download
streaming videos.

2.1.1. System interfaces

 The system we develop in PHP and its connected to MySQL database.

auto devices.

2.1.2. User interfaces

This project is client based web application and it helps to earn revenue for
administrator from paid subscribers. In this system the administrator has all rights
