Adaptive Streaming has become the neccessity for streaming video and audio. Unfortantely, as of this post, there isn't a whole lot of tutorials that accumulate all of the steps to get this working. Hopefully this post achieves that. This post focuses on using Amazon Web Services (AWS) to transcode for HLS and DASH and be the Content Delivery Network (CDN) that delivers the stream to your web page. We'll be using Video.js for the HTML5 player as well as javascript support libaries to make Video.js work with HLS and DASH.

So Here's what you need:

• An AWS Account
• Video.js
• videojs-contrib-hls.min.js
• dash.all.min.js
• videojs-dash.min.js

Not all random values are created equal - for security-related code, you need a specific kind of random value.

A summary of this article, if you don't want to read the entire thing:

• Don't use Math.random(). There are extremely few cases where Math.random() is the right answer. Don't use it, unless you've read this entire article, and determined that it's necessary for your case.
• Don't use crypto.getRandomBytes directly. While it's a CSPRNG, it's easy to bias the result when 'transforming' it, such that the output becomes more predictable.
• If you want to generate random tokens or API keys: Use uuid, specifically the uuid.v4() method. Avoid node-uuid - it's not the same package, and doesn't produce reliably secure random values.
• If you want to generate random numbers in a range: Use random-number-csprng.

You should seriously consider reading the entire article, though - it's
