Replying to Avatar Vitor Pamplona

We really need to figure out a better way to share large video files (Movies - 3GB) on Nostr.

Video formats don't offer multiple resolutions inside of them, so if you start downloading a 3GB movie and the phone switches to Mobile data, there is no way to find a lower resolution stream inside the same file.

Switching multiple resolutions over the course of a single playback base on mobile speeds should be as natural as YouTube does.

I think compression also need to be done in client.

1. Client must support access to S3/R2 (user provide them)

2. When upload client will upload original resolution to S3. After completion client will send alternative lower resolution.

3. When other people check, it will try to get the lower version if available.

So there’s must be S3 naming convention for each format/quality

I also don’t understand why most Nostr client do not supporting FTP/S3 for media upload. Its really convenient and making the author really own their media/files.
