Player for codeigniter

Hi Seyed,

What is it you are trying to do with CodeIgniter?

I’d recommend you go for Vimeo. It’s a much simpler solution (and just $200/year for unlimited videos, unlimited encoding and unlimited views).

Hi Seyed,

CodeIgniter is a whole new web framework in place of WordPress. It means starting from scratch.

Vimeo is secure but less secure than Cloudfront RTMP (somebody who is a member would be able to pirate the videos, but that’s true of any system: screen recording is very easy on any platform). I’d be less worried about some piracy and more worried about putting into a place a system you can reliably run so you can focus on building your business.

Our support for Vimeo Pro is free. There’s quite a bit of documentation up on our site already: https://foliovision.com/player/how-to-use-vimeo-pro

I feel badly that Amazon Cloudfront is not working the way you want it to, so I’m happy to offer you a free pro support incident for Vimeo set up.

Hi Seyed,

I’ll answer your questions.

1. Vimeo is pretty fast around the world, although there are some regions where people complain (I’m not sure which ones).
2. Someone who has access can download the file for a short period of time (twenty minutes).
3. No for commercial video, you have to pay $200/year but that includes encoding, hosting the whole works.
4. No advertising.
5. No, links cannot be shared. They expire.

Hi Seyed,

We can set Vimeo up for you on Monday if you sign up for a Pro account (you need the $200/year version, not the plus $48/year version – you can try Plus but as soon as Vimeo catch you, they will either delete your videos or more likely disable them until you upgrade to Pro to match their terms for commercial video). To us Plus, you have to be creating art videos (films, documentaries, music videos).

So please sign up for Pro and upload all your originals in original resolution (export from Adobe CC in same format as original or in another 720p format with dual pass and VBR) and you will be good to go.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks! Alec

Hi Seyed

As Martin mentioned you should be using Level 3.0 for maximum compatibility. You could probably set your maximum bitrate to 3 Mbps.

These settings are only for self-hosted on Cloudfront. If you are uploading to Vimeo, they’d prefer to have a much less compressed file: https://vimeo.com/help/compression

What Vimeo wants is NOT what you should be uploading for direct playback by your clients. Vimeo wants low compressed files so that they can do the compression themselves.

Cheers, Alec

PS. Save yourself the pain and use Vimeo, Seyed, while you are growing your business.
