Local Video Upload & Player

Roast me or send feedback on Major Update I'm working on...

PS. Soon I will share this so you can test yourself

PS2. I also nearly done with fully working mobile app via React Native expo, with tanstack, zustand and push notifications - it will be big... (sorry lazycoders, I will opensource it and it will be free)

Arif Hossain

OMG! It's awesome.

Eduard Maniatovskii

This is very interesting news.😍

Christian Vanhenten

I can't wait to test it !!

Vibe Code

worth to mention - Shahjahan JewelΒ would be nice to get more docs for devs... I know it's not opensource, but it's for community

Lukas List

that’s a wonderful idea... keep it up

I can guess why WP Ninja didn't make a video player right away, because the main problem is not downloading the file, but the need for a mechanism to compress and optimize the file before publication.

Check out how cool they made image loading. Fcom compresses files from 10 MB to 60 KB. And inserting videos via HTML iframe code (if that's just a mega feature that allows you to do a lot)?

Video loading is 100% necessary, but not just a bare video file, but one with a compression and optimization mechanism. This may require an additional server or very smart code (which will be expensive; there was even a TV series about something like this called "Silicon Valley.")

At the same time, I strongly support the author, thank you!

Artur AbakarovΒ I completely have no idea what are you writing about... dude, of course this alpha implementation is just an open door for the rest... and yes, to me transcoding on the fly (queue etc) is a must have. That's why I already jumped on this https://developers.cloudflare.com/stream/

That's why I didn't share today preview plugin - soon it will be ready... but for now limited to folks who use cloudflare r2 so they can have all in place (maybe in future I will make paid version to take all hassle of storage, transcoding etc and pay for that myself)

Artur Abakarov

Tom Robak, sorry for my poor English. In short, I supported you, but I mentioned the value of not just uploading heavy videos, but the achievements of video compression and optimization technology before publication.

adding related link just in case some is wondering if there are any bottlenecks when using web hosting for videos files instead video hosting.

ps. Network related "waste" is easy to understand by network geeks etc.

This is great work Tom Robak, maybe do you mind considering Bunnynet as a storage option?

Vibe Code

Sophia SΒ first cloudflare stream - for videos this might be the best solution

Nice job

Noor Khan

Awesome! looking forward to it

Sam Jansen

Great! Was looking forward to this but there was a native video player planned soon?

Vibe Code

Sam JansenΒ I have native player built already - all in vue so 100% compliant with FC

Sam Jansen

Tom RobakΒ Let me know when this plugin is ready and the APP + Push notifications πŸ˜ƒ

Gee Adriaansz

Interesting! Looking forward to this

Han Van

super Tom!! this is the only thing keeping me from leaving BuddyBoss

The ability to work and create applications is impressive.

Vibe Code

JosΓ© Carlos EstiradoΒ yup, but it's really tough sometimes... like now... 2 days trying to figure out something for fluent community mobile app... and yet another 12h needed

Max Mackenzie

Exactly where I am waiting for!!! Where can we test? Thank you!

William van Rossum

Ok this is great.
Can we now turn off Youtube-embeds in posts entirely?
So this video upload becomes truly GPDR-Compliant?

Tomas Howlin

Amazing! Yes, this is a feature I need in my comm. Thank you!! Will it work on mobile?

Ryan Alier

The closer we can get Fluent Community to be a replacement for mainstream social media, THE MORE WE WILL LOVE IT!

I'd like to assume this is a sentiment we all want to push for. A move off of big media.

Han Van

does/will it also work in the comments section?

Vibe Code

Han VanΒ fully configurable.

Vibe Code

:)

Mel Brown

Vibe CodeΒ Thanks so much for your work and contribution! Are you considering playlist functions similar to Vimeo and YT? I'd love to embed a playlist in a single lesson. Vimeo playlist in particular does a great job with this. Thanks again!

Vibe Code

Mel BrownΒ not at this stage. still full focus is on unofficial mobile app at the moment.

Vibe Code

This project’s officially abandoned. I’ve moved on to something better - [link in my bio]. It’s faster, cleaner, and actually worth your time.

Han Van

what a pity😩

Vibe CodeΒ i dont have php 8.3 yet
