It looks like you're pulling from the Internet Archive? What does "no server necessary" even mean in this context?

the live stream runs on its own, i dont host the files or have a server syncing the videos/serving. So basically, you can do this without any costs. Traditionally, you would need to use something like OBS and have a machine that both holds the video files, and "streams" them to clients.

forgot to mention, it also calculates the video position, to the minute by taking the time the channel was created, calculating the difference between the current time and the time the channel was created and taking the modulus of that and the total duration of all of the videos combined. You then use that to calculate which video should be playing and the difference between current time and the video duration is the position in the video that should sync.
