I have tried the following: 6 different video plugins including ones that are supposedly ‘Responsive’ mobile friendly. What’s the SPECIFIC reason(s) why the video files “have to be” self-hosted? The other website however the video files have to be self hosted. This topic was modified 1 month ago by 2rascallyrabbitsbusiness. Can my webhosting platform (Hostgator in this case) do anything to help? I don’t expect my videos to perform as well as the instant play 4K youtube videos but it would be nice to get it to at least a decent speed on my website at 1080P.Īny other advice would be greatly appreciated. I’ve attached my handbrake screen shots so maybe someone can give me some advice on what to do to improve things. That same phone by the way can easily play back 4K videos from any website with no buffering or delays (As soon as I hit play at 4k on youtube the video is there with not a slight bit of buffering).

Even still huge delay (~1 minute) in getting the video to play on a high powered Android phone. I’ve been using 1 video for all my testing and it is sourced at 4K just a little over 1 gig in size and so far Handbrake has been able to get it down to 80Mb at best at 1080P. H265 won’t work on mobile browsers so is not an option.

I’ve tried multiple H264 encoders and the slowest compression speeds it will handle. I have tried compressing the videos with just about every combination using handbrake. The documentation sort of implies it’s automatic. I’m still not clear if I’m having to do something to make that happen or not. Allegedly it detects your stream speed and delivers a lower resolution version to the mobile device. They will play but only after a long delay in loading.Ħ different video plugins including ones that are supposedly ‘Responsive’ mobile friendly.

On mobile however I am struggling to get them to work even at 1080P HD. Getting the 4k videos to play in 4k is difficult even on desktop but I can get them to work (Slight delay). I upgraded my hosting platform to a virtual private server with considerably more power behind it. Here is the issue:ġ website I can offload the content to youtube and embed the videos in so they can stream at any resolution even at 4K to any device. I have lots of content already recorded in 4K resolution which I plan on putting on both websites.

So I’m in the process of building 2 websites.
