Web Based Streaming Media Server - php

Question

I am trying to build a Media Server that will be used only on my own personal network. No outside access will be available, except for those devices that are connected via LAN or WiFi. I have ripped my entire DVD collection some SD, and some HD as to be able to play it via PS3, DVD Players, etc, without having to dig the disc out every time someone wants to watch something. Because I want to limit access to certain parts of the media, VLC, TVersity, Plex, etc don't work, and I want to custom tailor it with my own design without having to go to any outside source for processing and want it to be web based so it can be viewable in Safari or Chrome. All files are in .mp4 format, so transcoding is not necessary, or at least I don't think it is.
I have a working page that works on the machine that the XAMPP server is running on. The info is provided via a MySQL database and using PHP and HTML5 to play the video. I will be building a dedicated Linux server very soon, just trying to get it working. Files under 2GB work just fine on the same machine as XAMPP is installed (but NOT on devices that are connected via wifi or wire), but anything over 2GB just continuously say loading on all devices. Trying to view on iPad Air, iPhone6 but doesn't work.
The Streaming Code:

The HTML Code:
<video width="320" height="240" controls><?php
$stream = new VideoStream($row_rsTitles['Category'].'/'.$row_rsTitles['Title'].'/'.$row_rsTitles['Filename']);
$stream->start();
?></video>
Any help would be appreciated. Many of hours, and trying a hundred different options with no success.
