I'm working on a project, there's a online website which offers different artform courses where user can register, subscribe to the course and download it's videos to their own account and not local storage? How can I achieve this functionality. Please guide me or any suggestions/references will be really helpful.

The video will be playable for the users but I want to give provision to the users to download that videos into their account and access those without internet connection. Basically, I want to achieve similar functionality like Netlfix offline viewing or you can say Youtube offline downloads.

Thank you!!

What I have tried:

I've researched about it but I'm unable to find any exact references for the same. I cam across Service Workers but I'm not sure whether it will do the work. Also, how can I implement it in CodeIgniter.

It is unlikely that you ever will find exact references. You need to break it down into its constituent parts and research each one separately: Website (PHP, ASP.NET etc), Data storage (MySQL, SQL Server etc), Online video player control, data download ...

Yes, that's right but the first thing I'm really confused about is how do I enable or implement a storage space on my website?

Like I said, you need to do research. Google found this: What is web space - the storage space on a web server[^].
