Hi,
Using your player (the free version for now) and noticed that when i upload a video, there is no way to encode it in a mp4 format using ffmpeg, so i need to use a third service, or i need to encode it before uploading.
Another plugin “Videopack” currently does that using FFmpeg, basically you upload a video in the media library, and as soon you upload it, it starts to encode it to a suitable format.
Was thinking if was possible to do this even with FV Player.
Let me know, Thanks.

Hello Vincenzo,
Using FFmpeg on the server directly could work, but it’s not a common library that would be installed on many servers.
If you are not publishing too many videos and your readers are close to your server it might work fine. Otherwise you need at least the CDN to make sure the video is fast to stream regardless of the user location.
That’s why we created FV Player Coconut with the setup wizard to let users get powerful video encoding, storage and distribution without having to configure it all the hard way.
Thanks,
Martin
I have my own dedicated servers and have FFmpeg installed.
I would pay for a conversion engine webui that would be compatible with FB Player.
The requirements for FFmpeg would be to create four different videos 1920, 1080, 720, 420, video thumb preview VTT auto creation, thumbnail chapters click to preview, ability to store and process videos on different servers, auto watermark, etc.
FFmpeg installation is straight forward on Ubuntu 22.04.
Put me on the beta list if you ever decide to make an encoding webui compatible with WordPress.
Hello Jovan,
Please let us know if the video download protection is one of your goals as well.
Would you like to let your website users upload videos as well?
Like you said this should store videos outside of the actual server. The reason is that a CDN pulling from the website server is not going to be very reliable.
Thanks,
Martin
