+# Streaming video from IPFS using ReadableStreams
+
+We can use the execllent [`videostream`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/videostream) to stream video from IPFS to the browser.  All we need to do is return a [`ReadableStream`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream)-like object that contains the requested byte ranges.
+
+Take a look at [`index.js`](./index.js) to see a working example.
+
+## Running the demo
+
+In this directory:
+
+```
+$ npm install
+$ npm start
+```
+
+Then open [http://localhost:8888](http://localhost:8888) in your browser.
