Special Hosting Requirements

  • FFmpeg and HTML5 codecs are required to generate snapshots, preview clips and convert videos to HTML5 formats. Latest FFmpeg is recommended with video & audio codecs for HTML5 & video types you plan to upload.
  • Conversions require important resources like CPU time, memory, long process time (not available on budget shared hosting). These must be available and enabled for the account processes.
  • High upload size and script timeout limits on web host to allow uploading bigger files. Importing videos (uploaded with FTP or other tools) is recommended for very big files.
  • CloudFlare or similar services are not recommend due to upload limitations. Will usually break bigger uploads.
  • Optionally, to deliver videos as live streaming a server like Wowza SE is required that will provide access at a HLS address from video path.
  • Optionally, plugin can also generate static HLS segments, using extra disk space and initial processing resources.

    Security Warning: Hosts that include FFmpeg access should also have specific security configuration in place. That can include CageFS and other restriction/isolation tools.
