Downloading Option
Added 2022-02-21 12:15:44 +0000 UTCLater today I'll start doing video tests with different hosting sites (Streamable and Dropbox, maybe others). I'll be fiddling with security settings and while I wait for replies to my emails about how much they charge when it comes to high bandwidth usage (they've all been surprisingly quiet to my inquiries of "hey, I'd like to pay you money")
One of the settings I've seen relates to downloading vs streaming. I assume there is a large desire to download videos to phones so they can be enjoyed while away from home, but I don't know how important that is, so please let me know.

This is a good idea! I'll look into this as well.

2022-02-21 13:41:47 +0000 UTCOne thing that TTT does is they upload an mp3 version alongside the video for people who want to download it. It’s audio only but that way you can use a host that streams it and also provide an option for people who want to download

2022-02-21 13:26:28 +0000 UTCYeah, Streamable as well. This is just to see where people are with the option. I honestly think downloading causes more problems than it solves since I'll only be uploading in one format, and that file type (.mp4 I believe) might not work that well on mobile. I'm almost not too warm and fuzzy on the idea of the video files being downloading and god knows what being done with them.
