Ask HN: Open Source Video Hosting Platforms?
I understand this is a loaded question. Video hosting is a big business and companies like vimeo, wistia etc. are thriving and it is a tough problem to solve (bandwidth, network, performance, cost etc) .
However, I wonder if there is any Open Source projects that tackle the beast of video hosting. It could focus on components such as:
- Storage
- Transcoding
- Performance (CDN delivery)
- Experience (Players such as videojs etc)
Each of these are projects by themselves. Anyone know any specific projects that target some or ideally ALL of these components ? I am specially interested in the harder ones like transcoding and CDN.

- RUG3Y 9y agoInteresting that you ask -- I was just researching this last night and this morning. I don't have an answer but I'm curious to see if there's anything like this out there. I'm pretty much steeling myself to write my own youtube clone. I was thinking a "Wordpress" for video sites, something that could be easily re-used for numerous different vid sites.
