Hi, you need to manually create the database. That part aren't done automatically.

Google " how to set up MySQL and you might want to search also PHPMyAdmin".
After you set up MySQL or MariaDB server then you can create a database for php4dvd.

As the url says http://localhost. You most likely already have phpMyAdmin installed, if you are using XAMPP or WampServer (Windows).

It should be under; http://localhost/phpmyadmin

Login using your username / password
Select Databases in the top menu
Type php4dvd in the Database name field and select utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci or utf8mb4_unicode_ci
Press create

Now you can install php4dvd with the web based wizard.

I don't really get what the problem is.

Once you are logged in, you are logged in until your session runs out or you log out manually. This session is also valid in another tab within the same browser or even in a new window of the same browser.

If another person instead is browsing the page, they get the login form, since they don't have your session. You can test this by using another browser or the incognito mode.

If another person hit the my php4dvd site from different web browser or different devices they did not get log in page form, they get dirct show tha home page.

They are not logged in. If I visit your site, I cannot manage anything.
If you just want that your users have to login to even view the movie lists, you can just set the option $settings["user"]["guestView"] to false in your config/config.php file.

I commented on the other issue/thread regarding this. There are a vlc-player branch, but it's not recommended for security issues. And it will only work locally, not streaming over the internet.

I'm closing this one as the issue at hand are solved. Please see the FAQ in the readme and check config/config.default.php as it's most likely a setting you want to change.
