Re: Best way to store videos

Martin: Thanks for the input. What I need, though is to display the same video on a web page, or in a livecode app. It’s the web page in a wordpress site that is the real problem. Best, Bill > On Aug 24, 2018, at 6:16 AM, Martin Koob via use-livecode > wrote: > > If you go with AWS S3 for st

Re: Best way to store videos

If you go with AWS S3 for storage and .mp4 for videos you can play the videos directly in the LiveCode Player object and LiveCode has commands that allow you to interface with the AWS S3 API. So you can create your whole app in LiveCode without having to use the browser. Search the LC 9 dictionar

Re: Best way to store videos

Peter: I had self-hosted a few small videos, all in mp4 format. I hadn’t checked many video players, tho, but when I changed hosting services, for my wordpress site, the video appeared offset to the right (same code as prev hosting), in the iframe. I couldn’t get it to view correctly, and gave u

Re: Best way to store videos

Bill: If your video is a common format like MPEG-4, then any browser will play it. Stephan: I’m aware of the streaming server versions issue. However, not all video content needs to be optimized—it depends on what it is and in what context it is displayed. But, it is true that Vimeo and YouTube

Re: Best way to store videos

um... Peter.. streaming video is not just about having the storage space... It's what the servers do to match up the devices calling with the appropriate size and type file. Typically many versions of the same video are created for each upload. The Vimeo and YouTube web apps handle all of that. Be

Re: Best way to store videos

Peter, That sounds like a good idea. What has worried me, though, is that it can be a pain to implement the code that lets the video be played on any of the many browser variations. With Youtube or Vimeo, they take care of making the video play on any browser. That is, unless the technology f

Re: Best way to store videos

Bill, You could also look at Amazon AWS S3 storage. It’s pretty much free for the first year. Then, depending on usage, could be only a few dollars a month. https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/ Videos could then be played directly in a Livecode player control, as well as on your website. One of

Re: Best way to store videos

YouTube is great these days. If you take the time to become a verified subscriber all the world will be revealed to you. They have many tools and they re-written the whole thing, and it’s pretty good. It’s also free. You can make playlists and decide what happens at the end, and add links and othe

Re: Best way to store videos

Thanks, Tom. I did a fair amount of Googling and didn’t find any way to turn off recommended videos, but perhaps Google is inhibiting those searches. I did find a fair amount on a few options, but they weren’t what I wanted. FYI, I just started with the embed code that youtube gives after upload

Re: Best way to store videos

just fyi..you can disable to recommened videos in the embedd code.. you can also detect via java script when the video ends. so you really have more control than you think. just got to send script to the browser . "do in widget". I haven't done anything crazy ...but i know that there
