Every other platform does this in the back end yes. It would be great for Nostr to see a good video handling system, but it's yet to come about. Supporting HLS would be fantastic. I saw so many vlogs that where 5 minutes long and 2GB, while I encode full 2 hour movies at half the size.

If Nostr video ever wants to take off this needs to be solved. I've been banging this drum for months.

PREACH BROTHER

HLS would be great! i'd love to see that. users could upload their massive video files and sign them. the video platform could then transcode or stream them. (spoiler: this is essentially what we're doing with diVine.) maybe we need diVine to start the video revolution here?

I wanted to implement it, but (and I am sounding like a broken record here) blossom will blossom will block any uploaded media manipulation.

Nip71 already supports multiple video streams. Good luck getting client devs to build it in a timely fashion though. Coming in 2028 😂

To that end nostr.build already can support HLS. Amethyst as well supports HLS. Where are the other devs building support into their clients?

I could even produce HLS if ya’ll stop screaming “but sha256 doesn’t match”

Nostr on so many fronts 🤦‍♂️
