Remote ffmpeg

No, that’s not an option right now. It’s not simple. All of the video data would have to be transferred to the remote server for encoding and the transcoded media would then be returned to the local server. The security issues are not small either. Encoding.com offers a fairly simple way to do it through XML, but at a fairly significant cost, especially if you’re getting user-generated HD content. I’m considering some kind of integration with Encoding.com but setting up your own dedicated encoding server is such a complicated process that I can’t imagine there are enough potential customers for it to be worth my time to figure out how to write the code to do it.

What exactly is the problem you’re having now? FFMPEG is somehow preventing WordPress from running?

We′ve got different servers in our localhost at the university – so this wouldn′t be the problem. It′s only a thought, that it would be better to encode all videos on a different server, to keep having a better performance control. But yes it would be complicated.

I only recognized, that videos with 1,5 hour length block loading a new page when they are playing. Example: You play such a video and would like to change to another post or page while this video is playing – it lasts very long till you′re directed. When you click on stop, this process works faster. Perhaps you could investigate, if there could be any problem.

Is it possible to include streaming server like wowza media server? Is such feature planed?

Best,
