Hi Publitio,I'm a little confused about transcoding video. I've read Nemanja's post about optimizing video (hvala) and he suggests that I should set the frame rate, data rate and resolution of my MP4s before I upload. But then your servers transcode the file for HLS. So is it better to upload a big file with a high data rate and let your server's transcode/optimize the video? Or should I set the MP4 as low as I think is acceptable for viewers before I upload (but then I take the chance that your transcoded files might be bigger than the original)?Thank you
You can upload a big file with a high data rate and let publitio server's transcode/optimize the video
For HLS just make sure your videos are 1080 pixels in height at minimum, this will make sure our system is able to create even 1080p version of your video
we use :
- 800K bitrate for 360p video version,
- 1200K bitrate for 480p video version,
- 2800K bitrate for 720p video version,
- 5000K bitrate for 1080p video version
hope this answers your question
when I make a private video its give error Invalid access token on player.
If files are private, they require an access token for access (which expires after 24h).
You can use a plugin or SDK to retrieve fresh URLs (with new access tokens).
Is there a way to set the thumbnail of the video to the first frame of the video rather than the default setting of later on please?
yes, there is a way to set custom thumbnail for a video, please see https://support.publit.io/hc/en-us/articles/360007764037-How-to-change-thumbnail-for-video-audio-
I need to know more about public.io
Publitio attempts to take the pain out of the whole Media Asset Management (MAM) process by easing common tasks used by the majority of web & mobile apps, such as media files uploading, storage, processing, and delivery, thus saving development time, reducing costs and making a life of developers easier.
I asked this question last year and you said that playback speed was on the roadmap. Please can you give me an update when this feature will be available?
Thanks very much, this is great.
Hey,I was trying to make my player have limited controls and I am not sure if this is possible. I want to have a play/pause ability and a full screen ability without any other controls. Is there a way to do this without the seek or quality controls?Thanks!
Hi,
On this link, you can find more about player control https://support.publit.io/hc/en-us/articles/360007823918-How-to-show-hide-control-bar-on-player-
I want all the images and videos that i upload to my publitio account to be automatically sync to my S3 bucket with AWS. how can i do that
Hi GHOUSE,
we still don't have that kind of integration, only way would be if you use our API and build up some script on your end to do that.
I would like to include audio assets on my website, and only there. Can you explain how Domain Level Protection works and how it is being used?I could not find any information about Domain Level Protection or tokens in the developer docs.
Hi Tim,
you can check our post with HLS and Domain level protection you can see in that video use case on how to do it.

Right now, I am saving image URL (preview_url) for database and want to remove image from publit.io using url.But I can see only delete API by File ID. Is there any way ?Thanks.
Does publit.io has extension for Mit App Inventor? It will be easier for developer like me to integrate publit.io in our apps.
Hi NEUPANEBISHWASH,
we never thought about extension for MIT App inventor,
from what I see it is focused on google cloud, and since we have no idea what is needed, for this to work.
We don't have developer available at this moment to build such integration but we can try to find maybe via upwork, or
if you have skill to develop it we can talk.
