  upload sl user pass C:\User\Videos | Monitor and upload videos from C:\User\Videos.
  upload sl -s 20 user pass C:\User\Videos | Monitor and upload videos from C:\User\Videos every 20 seconds.

Note: <username> and <password> are the credentials used to authenticate with Streamable. Ignore the folder/file arguments to run against the local directory.

Install

1. Install Node.Js and npm. (It's a single installation.)
2. Confirm they are installed correctly by running node -v and npm -v - You should see something like:

   $ node -v
   v8.12.0
   $ npm -v
   6.4.1
   

3. Download the full npm-upload source zip from this GitHub repository.
4. Extract it and place the contents somewhere safe.
5. Navigate to the newly extracted folder and run npm install.
   • This will generate a large directory called node_modules containing various dependencies.
6. (Optional) While you are here, also run: npm link
   • This will allow you to call the command from anywhere and not just in this folder.

Usage

There are two ways to run the npm-upload package.

1. From the extracted package, run:

node src/upload.js streamable <username> <password> [folder/file]
node src/upload.js streamable-loop <username> <password> [folder]

2. If the optional 6th step was followed, open up a new terminal and, from anywhere, run:

upload streamable <username> <password> [folder/file]
upload streamable-loop <username> <password> [folder]
