Example Content

The purpose of Running Stream is to enable you to display your own content: videos you’ve made at home, or for your business, perhaps. However, there are a number of places you can find existing content that will work with your streaming devices.

The Internet Archive has a wide range of freely available public domain videos. One popular set is the public domain Popeye archive. The videos linked there can be used in Running Stream as “mp4” video. To get the link you need, scroll down to “download options”, expand the “MPEG4” section, and use the links within that section. Here are a few you should find there:

• https://archive.org/download/popeye-pubdomain/A_Date_to_Skate.mp4
• https://archive.org/download/popeye-pubdomain/A_Haul_in_One.mp4
• https://archive.org/download/popeye-pubdomain/Aladdin-and-His-Wonderful-Lamp.mp4
• https://archive.org/download/popeye-pubdomain/Ancient-Fistory.mp4
