Asp.Net Core Web App Play and download Video from Disk

Question

I am having a scenario here. I have to build an asp.net core web application from where I have to browse drive and directories (where hosted: windows) and list the available video files. This portion working perfectly.

Now I have to do two things with those video files:

1. Need to download files (working except the size is < 2 GB)
2. Need to play the video on the page whatever the format and size is.

Asking for your helps. Thanks in advance.

Hi @Moloy Adhikary

There are lots of formats for video files, and each format typically requires a different player and a different way to configure the player. In ASP.NET Razor pages, you can play a video in a web page using the Video helper. To play the video on the page you can try out the below methods

To download files you can use the WebClient.DownloadFile Method
