What's Changed
- New Video Player Zibbp/ganymede-frontend@075fe19.
- Now using OvenPlayer.
- Better support for HLS playlists.
- The chat player still uses Plyr for now.
- Add an option to convert the archived video from mp4 to a HLS playlist 0e8803e.
- Disabled by default. This setting can be enabled at Admin > Settings.
- The conversion takes place during the "Video Convert" queue job.
- The mp4 is deleted and not moved to the final destination as to avoid having two identical large video files in two formats.
- This option is useful if you publicly host Ganymede. It will significantly decrease the initial load time of the video.
- A basic test of restricting the browser to 50mb/s loading a 20gb video.
- MP4 - 10 seconds until playable.
- HLS - 1.8 seconds until playable.
- A basic test of restricting the browser to 50mb/s loading a 20gb video.
- Not of much significance if you only use Ganymede on your LAN as the load times between an HLS playlist and large MP4 is under a second.
- M3U8 file and segments are stored in a sub folder with a naming scheme of
externalId-video_hls.
- Bump frontend packages Zibbp/ganymede-frontend@631dd19.
