VLC Media Player mentions (3)

• The 10 tools I install on every new Mac I get

  VLC - plays everything, has excellent keyboard shortcuts and can in a pinch even record screens for you (free). - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Why Open Source Software VLC's official website has been blocked for over 5 months now?

  Try accessing it without the 'www' subdomain (https://videolan.org/vlc/). Source: almost 2 years ago

• AV1 no working

  I think I recommend you to use VLC Media Player without AV1 extension, it just decode. Source: over 2 years ago

Mux mentions (32)

• Video site with 800GB of >512MB videos and 900GB Cloudfront bandwidth costs too much ($800/mo). Cloudflare? R2?

  How are you storing/serving the videos? You might look at a service like mux.com which both hosts files behind a CDN but optimizes video delivery with adaptive bitrate streaming. If you are serving whole/raw video files off Cloudfront that could impact your costs. Source: 11 months ago

• Low cost live stream providers? My clients always request facebook, but as I branch out, I'd like to be able to offer something that looks more professional.

  Vimeo is a solid platform. Most alternatives you'll find searching for "vimeo vs." are just marketing / billing wrappers around the mux.com streaming platform. If you are somewhat technically inclined you can use mux.com directly and embed it on your website yourself. Source: about 1 year ago

• Curtain pulled back: Cover pdf on business methodology, growth opportunities and strategies into the future.

  Feels like there's no real alternative to Youtube since they have large enough capital to run the site to be barely able to break even. Feels like something like https://mux.com would meet the purpose jut feels like free streaming is way too costly. Source: about 1 year ago

• Need help with building a CEA/CTA-708 closed captions encoder for MPEG-TS video streams

  The repo is unmaintained, ever since Matt moved from Twitch to mux.com, so the library does need a maintainer. There are some bugs and PRs that could do with merging to head, but it is generally functional, with some quirks. The code is used in both OBS and Gstreamer Rust bindings. Source: about 1 year ago

• I built Senja, a tool to collect testimonials and turn them into marketing material with Sveltekit.

  So Senja uses Mux under the hood for video storage and streaming. It's an amazing solution! Source: over 1 year ago
