When evaluating IPFS for a video platform I am thinking on some functional design requirements that could be tailor made for IPFS. I would like to receive some input on those subjects. Videos for the web are typically made available at an adaptive bitrate. Two standards that come to mind are HLS an…

It doesn’t cover everything you mentioned but there has been some previous work on streaming video over IPFS. I’ll see if I can find the links.

IPFS split data into blocks for easy transportation and deduplication, this size is fixed and quite small. It’s make blocks unsuitable for audio/video chunking. At first glance IPFS chunking and video segmentation seams like the same but in this case they serve very different purpose. Had to search…

@SionoiS it seems that a block can be variable but < 256kB. Could you point to documentation which states differently? Wavelet video codecs are not theoretical, Dirac , VC-2 (DiracPro). I agree that browser support may be sparse, but that is something solvable if we come up with a killer application. …

Yes your right it’s variable. Any implementation that split the video into multiple composable track?

Anything that would support MPEG-DASH or HLS?

Hi, do you know about livepeer.com and filebase.com ? livepeer => decentralized encoding filebase => decentralized object storage => they uses storj, skynet… in their roadmap => they will do tests to implement everything… no date estimation at this time.

It is not about alternative services for file storage or decentralised encoding. The point of this discussion is in the direction: what can be designed to have an media container format that is IPLD aware, and uses that in its advantage.

Hi Stefan, I created ipds video to showcase the mediasource api combined with ipfs-js. There is also an ipfs backend for the hls video player. The means that you could do adaptive bitrate by having the client pick the quality stream they like. I don’t really like this solution as the serving party…

I don’t really like this solution as the serving party has to do recoding for different quality levels, and I think we should try to come up with a solution where this can distributed to the client. I share the same opinion. It would be the status quo but stored decentrally at N-times the origina…

[image] skinkie: Are you aware of the ability to align vp8/webm with the IPFS blocksize in order to implicitly get indexable starting points at keyframes? No, sorry. I have no idea wether that would be possible or not. The formats are open, so you should be able to educate yourself and find o…
