Running this could take a few minutes, so sit back and relax while it does its thing.

You can now view your files at ipfs://QmS24SBLrVFWAtEZUE8bu32rDKVRqkE5hPKGBChG9muTCo

From there, you can copy that CID and use it in any HLS compatible streamer. You can even paste it into this demo site: https://themarstonconnell.github.io/jackal-streaming-demo/
