Nostr Web Client

I don't know what best practices are for hosting a video. A YT alternative would work, but I'd prefer not embedding the video on another platform, if possible.

The problem is I don't know how to set it up if it's not on a platform like YT, Vimeo or something similar. I mean, I can host the entire video myself and load it on the homepage, but (I think) that means loading the entire video everytime someone visits?

Sorry if this vague. Not a developor, I make drawing for a living ;)

If you watch a YT or Vimeo video, the also that data is loaded to the visitors device (often not entirely at once, but in chunks).

You could have a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36407051/how-to-cache-the-video-on-the-browser-and-used-the-cached-version-every-time-the where the same question is asked :)

Yeah I think I need the video to be loaded in chunks, but preferably not on YT or Vimeo. I do like how those platforms automatically lower the stream quality if neccesary.

Currently trying out satellite.earth CDN. Which works but I can't figure out if they deliver the stream in chunks, and I don't think they do variable stream qualites 😅
