joe_g Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 Hey all, My projects involves more and more video. For a couple of years I've been self hosting mp4's. It works okay but it's always a hassle with determining the bitrate and getting the clients to understand that kind of thing. I don't want to go back to the bad old days of embedding. Mux.com looks good, but then all video material is locked up in their servers and it's hard to move. I don't love the idea to be tied to them forever. My dream would be to have something similar to image->width(500), such as video->bitrate(3000) for 3mb per second, for example. So that the editors can upload whatever video file. I think this would be not that hard to achieve with ffmpeg? I've been toying with the idea to do something like this myself. Anyone else?

joe_g Posted November 24 Author Share Posted November 24 One strategy would be to store all the original video files on the website as file uploads, and then use mux for conversion and delivery. At least then there a pinch less of a lock-in. Then, maybe at some point there might be a self-hosted mux alternative (or I make one based on ffmpeg). That could be a way to do things?

JayGee Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago We use Bunny CDN for an increasing number of projects - it’s cheap and reliable. Planning on making a module when I get a chance too to enable upload to their CDN from inside ProcessWire. Although I think this may already be possible via ProCache - not had a chance to check yet though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great if you could share how you use it. That's probably easier/faster than creating a module and could also be helpful/interesting 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
