🔐🎶 MuthuMediaPlayer – A Secure Encrypted Media Streaming App built with Flask! 🎥

Just wrapped up a personal project focused on secure media delivery — what began as a simple experiment in streaming has evolved into a full-fledged application.

🌟 Features

  • ✅ Firebase Realtime Database integration to fetch login credentials and Fernet encryption keys
  • ✅ Fernet (AES-level) encryption for .mp3 / .mp4 media files
  • ✅ On-demand decryption – media is decrypted only during playback
  • ✅ Protection against direct downloaders like IDM
  • ✅ External video URL playback support (.mp4, .webm)
  • ✅ Folder-based browsing, login system, and pagination

🛠 Tech Stack

  • Flask + Flask-Session
  • SQLite (for user and media metadata)
  • Fernet from cryptography (for secure encryption)
  • Google Firebase RTDB (for credentials and key management)

💡 How it Works

Media files are encrypted into JSON blobs (storing the encrypted content as a base64-encoded string inside a .json file) using a generated Fernet key. Metadata such as filename, path, and tags are stored in SQLite.

When a user accesses media via the player, the app performs just-in-time decryption and streams the content — ensuring privacy, performance, and protection against direct access.
