alhrms Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 if u add HLS it will be really really nice and better then this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Support Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Yes, we will add HLS support in future updates. Old projects will be able to switch to HLS for old videos (if enough disk space), or to only have this for new videos. Or to migrate old videos to new servers and create HLS formats for them. This requirement affects many functionalities in KVS, so need long time to do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonrak Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I have 2 questions about HLS support. 1) Can users still download videos if we have already enabled download feature? 2) In terms of bandwidth efficiency, How much HLS is better than current one?

HLS format is not downloadable. If you want to provide download option you will have to keep MP4 files in addition to HLS. For example you have 1080p video. You can provide it in HLS in 1080p, 720p and 480p qualities, plus you can have 480p and 720p MP4 files for download. This will greatly increase your storage space, so kind of trade-off. 3 hours ago, leonrak said: 2) In terms of bandwidth efficiency, How much HLS is better than current one? Not much. The real power of HLS is that video quality is adjusted automatically based on user network speed, so that video plays without any slugging / delays. This is very important for long videos, and for mobile users with unstable network. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IFMkey Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 is it available in KVS 6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Support Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 HLS is not part of KVS 6. This version is mostly about new admin panel. Then we will start looking into HLS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevermind Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Hi! Does KVS support streaming and how does it do it without HLS? Or is the progressive download always used and If the viewer wants to fast forward or skip to another section, he/she will only be able to do so if that part of the video has already been delivered and stored on their machine? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. MP4 video files do not need to download the whole file to skip to a specific position. Each MP4 file contains metadata block at the beginning, which is downloaded initially and then user can skip to any position. The size of metadata block differs for videos of different duration / resolution, but it is relatively small (200kb+). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
