I've got a script that records 10 minute videos from a webcam to

  • video1.mp4
  • video2.mp4
  • video3.mp4
  • video4.mp4

Then records over video1 again in rotation. I'd like one user to be able to view these in winamp or itunes by having a playlist with the four of them on repeat.

(This is my way of getting around the many hours of figuring out how to actually livestream from a webcam with VLC).

I don't see any examples of things like icecast being used for video, and I don't see any mentions of secure streaming.

My question is, is there any way to have these videos be seen securely? I can do things like https on my server, but I don't have great access to the user's machine, so just sharing a directory by samba or sshfs isn't much of an option.
