Expose video files

[Tony]

Hello,

Is there an option to link video files directly?

I mean like https://cdn.mysite.com/12000/12271/12271.mp4 instead of https://www.mysite.com/get_file/2/65c9a80c733d50143df157c9ac847162/12000/12271/12271.mp4/

I already use Streaming type = Direct URL.

No, this is not possible.

Why not? I have my site using bunnycdns full site proxy, but i can’t use the proxy for video cause it’s crazy expensive. The only way to do this is to serve video from a different or sub domain. So video needs to be served from mp4.site.com while everything else is served from site.com. I have other sites setup like this on Wordpress, are you saying this is not possible on kvs and that the only way to serve video is directly through the main url?

KVS is not serving videos from direct URL if storage server is remote and configured for subdomain for example. But KVS never serves videos using direct URLs, it always uses intermediate script that decides where to serve a video from and enables additional layer or protection.

The initial question was how to render direct URLs in HTML bypassing the intermediate layer.

Okay thank you for the explanation. However i only half understand it. It sounded to me like the original post was trying to do the same thing I’m trying to do. So is the example i gave possible? Serving video files from a sub domain? And if so how would i go about doing that? I set the storage server to mp4.site.com, but getfile still comes from site.com.
