Story (A paragraph or two describing what happens)

For major video formats, DSpace should allow end-users to stream the content (like Youtube) rather than always requiring that users download the entire file.

  • If a video file is public, anyone should be allowed to stream it
  • If a video file is private (unable to be downloaded unless you have special rights), there should be an option to still allow anyone to stream it. This would allow for the general public to watch the video, but be unable to actually download it. However, by default, private videos are not streamable unless the public streaming option is enabled.
