Is there any tool that makes it easy to host videos on my website and emulate the YouTube watching experience?
Like, people go to my website, watch the video in a player, then when it ends they get a few tiles either of other videos I have up, or recent videos from others I’ve approved? Maybe it just pulls links and thumbnails from specific RSS feeds I list somewhere on the backend?
The player is easy enough, it’s the bandwidth of hosting video files that’ll kill you. That’s why YouTube took off in the first place, free third-party video hosting changed the entire game.
And it is not the bandwith, but copyright. If you’re taking videos from different sources and rehost them on your own site, you will get angry letters from lawyers demanding money
