[@LegoBen99]

Huge appreciation and thank you! The topic of video streaming with AWS is crucial, yet there is so little quality content available on it. You really hit the nail on the head here, explaining the intricacies. The way you navigate through AWS and break down each step is simply top-notch!

[@FelixYu]

thanks a lot!!

[@modrn_]

Dude, this is exactly what I was looking for and this is so straight to the point and clear on how to accomplish this. Great video!

[@FelixYu]

Thank you!! Glad that u found it helpful mate!!

[@naveenbisht4627]

I used Node backend to upload videos to S3, transcoded them with MediaConvert, and streamed the results on a React app via CloudFront. This video was a big help for the streaming part. Thanks!

[@kanny8742]

I owe my career to this guy

[@GarrettMusic1]

You are a legend for making this video, thanks a lot!

[@mikemagan2459]

Thanks!

Interesting tutorial with clear audio and video. Well done!

[@DivyaDarshan20]

Thank you for the video,Iam creating a anime streaming website. This is what Iam searching for

[@shlomperman1990]

top video on youtube! i don't know how to code and I managed to follow, king!

[@kimmyl9868]

U saved my life! This tutorial really helps to upload a video to cloud, Thanks!

[@ChromePlatypus-]

Thank you Felix, your tutorials have helped me alot!

[@FelixYu]

u are welcome mate :) glad that they are helpful!!

[@hoshankumaran]

i have some questions 1) how to make a video with out buffering 2) what is the cost to run that video straming platform 3) how to handle sudden spike of traffic 4) how to handle security 5) how to load balance

[@VikasJha001]

3). Spike of traffic will get auto handled because he is using cloudfront and S3 storage. Both of these scales automatically and can serve millions of requests per second. 5. Load balancing is not required as that is managed automatically by AWS for the case of S3

[@allaboinakranthi]

thanks alot Felix Yu you have did a great job helping others to solve such type of issues

[@FelixYu]

Thank you for the kind words!! I’m glad you found it helpful!!

[@TheeSurferJim]

Great job. Nicely precise and efficient. Worked perfectly when following your path 🙂 Thank you!

[@FelixYu]

Glad it helped!

[@endtimes4878]

Did you do it?....if yes give me the link I want to see your videos.

[@TheeSurferJim]

@@endtimes4878 I implemented the player, broadcaster, and viewer conponents using client sdk, then dug into the core aws and ivs classes the client calls, and tapped the core svcs via Java. Sidetracked on my AI agent app for the moment but will be live in like 60 days via an Edu LMS I coded up. Just note Spring security has to be enabled to allow the vid elements to come down the pike 👍

[@adityanjsg99]

Explained it in so simple terms !!

[@Adiyat_Coto]

Thanks a lot Felix! I'm newbie at this subjects, this video really help me a lot! I'm expecting more videos about AWS cloud and Mobile Apps.

[@FelixYu]

Glad that you found it helpful!!

[@alkaseltzgaming]

these videos are awesome! while it gives you something to put on your resume you also get hands on experience.

[@FelixYu]

Glad that u found it helpful mate!!

[@nonametrackz7887]

Very easy tutorial to follow along ! I subscribed

[@lobster_facts]

this isn't actual video streaming though? you're not streaming any chunks, you're just serving the entire video

[@bochitapfh]

Great video! I was looking on how to solve this same problem for my website. Thanks!

[@test_deneme]

Thanks mate, really clear and current ;)

[@FelixYu]

Great to hear!

[@JeevanSunkersett]

Great informative video. How could we add additional safe guards such as to prevent downloads off the mp4 from the hosted page? PS: I am surprised however that AWS does not provide such a functionality as a service itself.

[@sheikhirfan7257]

Thanks, man really good content

[@FelixYu]

Glad that u found it helpful

[@okeyshourovroy2769]

Great tutorial, can you please also make a tutorial on video protection using signed cookies and urls, signed coockies can be good for web but what to do for the mobile applications like react native or flutter. 🙏 please make a video

[@AnonymousDevelopel]

Great video and thanks for all the useful tutorials, Would be greatly appreciated if you made a video on how to create a aws censorship system for user text and images.

[@jutah]

subbed that was great 👌

[@FelixYu]

Glad that u found it helpful!!

[@jutah]

back again for another setup- big thank you felix!

[@finessefulj8489]

Would this also be a great solution for building a FAST service? (I'm currently at stage 0 and am building up a library of content to help build end to end).

[@MrOptimusPrime.]

Thank you very much felix.

[@Laserease01]

Very good tutorial, simple and effective! Can you make a tutorial on how to use signed cookies and use signed URLs? I really can't find any relevant videos. It can be said that there are no videos in this regard.

[@SAURABHGUPTA_DINOSAUR]

Thanks for the video mahn, nice explanation. My question is, in real world scenarios, it's not possible to manually put the individual links in the source code right? then how does it work? Anyways, thanks for explaining this. PEACE OUT

[@Rohitsingh2410]

small question dont you think this will actually download the video while redning the content as you are using a direct .mp4 link? whenever you stream on youtube or netflix you don't get whole mp4 file URL, but get chunks of it .

[@phyohtetpaing44]

Thanks for the tutorial. How can we rate limit base on the user account. Netflix and Udmey has some kind of protaction that videos url can not playable on it own and it is only work from specific website or app . url is not in video format and it can’t not playable by it own outside the web page. Is there any way to known how dose that work with aws s3 and cloud front cdn.I try with public key /private key idea but it doesn’t even closed.They are using tag but the url is not valid format. How did they hide it.

[@devByDash]

Can you do a video using a complete architecture.. using sqs and ec2 for processing and then stream data through cloud front

[@RockstahRolln]

Very good, simple and effective tutorial! Going to give this a go! Thank You!

[@FelixYu]

glad that u found it helpful!!

[@NineLivesSoftware]

What an OG

[@oussamaladhari550]

is it possible to make another video about hosting a live streaming with RTMP for example on AWS and your own website?

[@jacquelynecarmen]

I have some questions. Your that video is be short but in real app like Netflix they have very big size video files like more than 10GB. You just use s3 source to download and stream your video immediately and what about whole movie? What about multiple audio and subtitle files? What about video resolution? And we can marge our video files according to the user selection mean if user requests for different languages audio and some different subtitle. I don't think this enough for streaming app.

[@rpb583]

Very good video, thanks a lot. Helped me big time.

[@FelixYu]

Glad that u found it helpful

[@glendagoitia3280]

How do I do if I upload a video in AWS, I copy the link and I want it to be on my wordpress web page, the playback comes out automatically without the user pressing play, I mount it, it is seen but it does not play automatically. Thank you

[@code_marked]

Once the app is all finished, what kind of hosting would one need put it on the net?

[@maasondelgado8001]

I would love to see a more in depth video streaming site

[@TuvRaz]

I got confused right after the google testing and going into the terminal s_code? is the terminal on the AWS website?

[@avanijagtap8684]

So If We have a json File. Can we connect the url to it? Also is AWS free? And how much storage does it have? And can we make multiple accounts for free storage?

[@CodeXpert-p8g]

awsome .. bundle of thanks very very helpful

[@FelixYu]

glad that u found it helpful!!

[@KrishnaKumar-qx1mk]

Could you also tell how can we fetch all the videos and play them ? like how to fetch these videos and make a website similar to udemy??

[@matheusgrossi4707]

What about the payment ? I mean, if i want to put a 50gigas file on AWS. btw, i loved how you putted the song when you were coding, really made me laugh hahaha

[@Melegna7021]

Thank you for this tutorial! Just started learning aws and this was incredible! A couple questions I have is, are we able to use the same bucket for images as well? Potentially separating by directory? If so, can we modify the file structure later like keying into the directories to add more media?

[@RockstahRolln]

From another tutorial I watched, I believe you can host your images in the same folder. So you can have two folders - video and images.

Hello Felix, I am facing some problems. I hope you can help me. I hope people try the response method.

[@aungmyooo9692]

Could you please provide an estimate of the cost per user for streaming a 3GB video on this infrastructure?

[@abhishekpatel0904]

Does this do adaptive streaming ? or we need to make mpd or m3u8 file

[@616eric]

Felix, I tried to contact you through LinkedIn. This is a great video of how to build out Video Streaming. I subscribed and will share the video. Look forward to speaking with you.

[@maasondelgado8001]

hey I have been watching some of your videos, and I they are good I was wondering if the 2 part series on authentication is still viable in 2023

[@DomGarzaSR]

This doesn’t really solve latency issues which so noticeable , have you worked with KVS on AWS

[@OtherPaulo]

Hello Felix, how do I know the cost of 100k views on an 18mb video like the one you used as an example?

[@vidaconpropositooficial]

Hello! How can i prevent other people use my cloudfront url to publish my videos on their web pages?

[@Pedro-gu7jj]

how can I get instability of my vods using React and HLS?

[@afroj3di]

How can we allow users select what video quality they want, or send a lower quality based on users internet speed

[@irq001]

How can I stream a video comprising of a number of small video segments ( aka HLS fragments ) instead of one single big video file as shown in this tutorial ? These segments are 6 second long video files which should be played in a specific order ( sort on the file name gives that order ) one after another in the Client to recreate the long running video . These files are stored in a s3 bucket . In fact, this use-case is very similar to any content provider streaming their content using HLS protocol , which any HLS enabled browser or video player like VLC are able to play.

[@mofekayode8944]

Hi, did you find a solution for this ?

[@streamingmarv]

Great tutorial! What if I want to play 360 degree videos on all devices? Will they play with 360 degree interactivity or do I need to implement the VLC media player?

[@Aesthetic_Lifestyles]

Hey bro I am Prince Gupta a 14 yr old boy He I want to tell that can we use hls or dash for changing video quality if so how. What will be the minimum brandwidth for a million people watching a video at a time?? Please reply me because I have to build my streaming site as soon as possible. Hope you understand please reply fast

[@BigDataLogin]

cool

thank you

[@VinceTapang]

Is there a way to prevent the video from being downloaded? I can paste the source url in the address bar then right-click and select "Save Video As..."

Find a video player for HTML/PHP or whatever language you're using that can prevent people from downloading your videos

Super! Thank you so much! Should we be worried about any AWS costs if we build one just like yours?

[@FelixYu]

it depends on how many people watch ur video. i think cloudfront is eligible for free tier for 10,000,000 HTTP or HTTPS Requests

[@mehmetkaya4330]

@@FelixYu Got it! Thanks!

[@mehmetkaya4330]

Also, I followed your steps but when I pasted the domain_name/object_key and hit enter, it just downloaded the file instead of showing the video. Could it be due to the file format, which is .mov and not .mp4

[@mehmetkaya4330]

It worked when I uploaded an .mp4 video. Thanks again.
