    Ability to put thumbs/screenshots and all content on storage content servers and not on kvs script server.

    I've mounted an extra HDD to my server physically and moved my /tmp and /contents/videos_sources to that mount point.

    There is a workaround for this with using rsync or NFS mount

    rsync and NFS mount can work but would not recommend it for /tmp and /videos_sources, you can move /videos_screenshots to that

    Live streaming with user live chat ( similar to youtube live stream).

    That would need HLS support, or you should be able to play rtmp streams via a third party player

    Add a function to choose between tokens or real money.  Tokens are great for adult sites but money is preferable for mainstream sites.

    +1 on that

    The current implementation is bad, because format groups are connected to video type. It is not possible to change Premium video -> to Public video and vice versa because they have different sets of formats. This limitation is annoying in many cases, so we want to get rid of it as well.

    Also having 2 format groups won't allow old projects use HLS in the future, if they are already using formats in both groups for old videos. So we have to allow adding new groups so that such projects are able to use HLS.

    I see, it makes total sense.

    Just open debug for the video_view block and check its $data.formats array

    I see, I should be able to hardcode $data.formats._1080p.mp4.file_url and so on for all formats and append /index.m3u8 at the end.

    Then you probably don't need any help

    I could really use a step by step guide on how to change the web player 😢

    With adding HLS we have to allow as many format groups

    Why can't you guys treat it like you treat screenshot formats where you have an option to make either jpg or webp?

    I get it webp is connected with jpg and requires both but that shouldn't be the case with hls at all.

    I'm sure most of us agree to leave older videos alone and only move forward with hls for the new videos only for the time being.

    at the moment Public and Private videos are using Standard format group and Premium videos are using Premium format group

    What more are you thinking and why do people need more format groups? standard and premium sound good enough for majority of webmasters

    --

    Okay so no a side note I've played around the idea of converting mp4 to hls on the fly while keeping mp4 videos alone and it has been working great for my tests so far. Would you guys be able to help me change the URL for the player just a tiny bit so the current kvs player works with it?

    so for example, if my current direct video link is media1.domain.com/contents/videos/128000/128304/128304_1080p.mp4, I'd like it to be media1.domain.com/contents/videos/128000/128304/128304_1080p.mp4/index.m3u8 and still have it work as a protected link.
    The download links don't need to change at all.

    Really what I wanna do is, append /index.m3u8 to all the existing URLs only for the video player and let rest of the KVS do it's job as it already does. No change
    Uploading, renaming, conversion and anything else can remain unaffected.

    If you guys can do this slight modification for me, I'd be over the moon

    Make timeline screenshots load faster

    in Technical Support

    Posted

    Hi,

    I have set the video formats to create timeline thumbnails every 2 seconds.

    Is it possible to load them in the background when the video starts playing?

    That short delay between the thumbnail loading and mouse moving can be deal breaker for a lot of people.

    On the other hand, I was looking at how youtube does it and they seem to make a sprite image

    Eg. This video - WILDLIFE IN SERENGETI | Wild animals | Serengeti National Park - YouTube makes this sprite

     M2.jpg?sqp=-oaymwENSDfyq4qpAwVwAcABAaLzl_8DBgjosIGzBQ==&sigh=rs%24AOn4CLA6mwSprnuwpJshtROOz6vm04-3wA

    and it's great because it's loaded instantly and people don't need to wait microseconds for preview to load

     

    I understand that making sprite might not be in development pipeline but is there any way at all to make timeline thumbnails load in background or just faster in general?

    Where to find the html code?

    in KVS default theme

    Posted

    Hi,

    So I've been looking for the html code for the Block "Video Edit" that's used in the upload page.

    There is one element style that's used inline and I can't find it anywhere.

    I've renamed "Sponsored By" to "Studio" and I want to edit that style="width: 100px;" that's used there to 100%.

    Assigning videos to multiple storage groups

    this video is then assigned to a different server (in same group) that is dedicated to high viewing/viral videos, and then gets switch back to the general servers once there are less viewers?

    I asked KVS support a similar thing a few months ago but my question was to move videos that haven't been played in a long time (like 6 months and zero views) to a cold storage solution (a storage group with a lot of storage but not much bandwidth usage) and then the newer videos are allocated to groups with more bandwidth but I was told to do it manually every once in a while
