Sysadmin Help with a solution for video streaming :(

Just purchase a tool that will upload video to google photos and drive and stream from there. There is a technology call P2P, the tool will split the video in to tons of .txt file so google can’t scan DMCA cause it’s .txt and google doesn’t have limit for such a small file like .txt.

 

Can you shed some more light onto this? How does it work and where can we get it.

 

I knew it must be vanlong tool, but i suggest don't use it..
IF Google change algorithm, then he will not fix it, instead charge you another Thousand to buy new tool.
I'm not using his tool anymore.

 

I'm on similar situation now , helping a friend to run a video site (started few months ago).
Using:

• Xenforo with XFMG
• Force transcoding of all videos to H.264 / AAC / MP3 (to have smaller file size and easy to play and skip)
• With some Nginx configs...
• sendfile_max_chunk 5m;
• limit_rate_after 5m;
• limit_rate 5120k;
• Later I'll serve all videos on separate high bandwidth Server using ngx_http_proxy_module

Serving 1-2 TB per day seems to work fine for now.

 

I had a similar issue when my daily video streaming usage skyrocketed. The main headache was syncing big files across multiple servers, it’s tricky to keep everything up to date without eating a chunk of the available bandwidth. I experimented with splitting bandwidth over a few nodes but still needed to optimize codec choice and bitrate on the videos to really cut down bandwidth. Serving smaller webms or compressed mp4s helped a lot, plus tweaking how aggressively files are cached on each server.

If you ever need to transcode or compress a batch of videos fast, movavi has come in handy for me. I usually process my files with that before uploading to save space and get better streaming speeds.

 

I have a 3-year-old forum now with this daily usage:

• Unique visitors: 200-300k
• Request: 70-75 million
• Data or Bandwidth use: 60-70 TB (99% cached via cloudflare)

The forum is only accepting up to a 100 MB max file size attachment, yet I already accumulated 6.5 TB of storage using Cloudflare R2.
My only issue now is to lower the total size :|
