I read your "What is TRITON?", and didn't know what TRITON is afterwards. So read the rest of the doc. Still don't.
What will I see as an end user? An actual video player for playing my video library? You compare yourself to Plex at one point, and I know that's what Plex gives people... Or is it just some sort of API end-point which you need to somehow attach a video player to?
So it will be just like Plex but it will be more focused on larger media servers or people who want to not care about organizing media, need multiple qualities pre transocded, and etc. I wrote a bigger detail to inimino below about why that decision was made, but it's s3 first class and all about ability to server media globally and scale.
Hi everyone, I'm the lead maintainer and original creator of this project. I'm interested in hearing feedback on my project, which is a microservice oriented alternative to Emby/Jellyfin/Plex/etc that focuses on being scaleable and being cheap to host in the cloud. It solves the ideal use case of being a high load media provider, focusing on runtime costs (encode once, not every time) and being able to handle, of course, high load. Running a media server can be a massive pain, and being able to abstract a lot of that away (autodetecting media names and episode numbers) has saved me a lot of time for my personal collection. Interested to hear anyones thoughts!
You include usenet in your example of possible video sources; it is my understanding that cloud providers will ban your account if they get DMCA requests. I am not certain how much S3 providers monitor storage for this type of thing, but I would guess they do up to a point. Do you think this could be a problem?
I don't know any of those things. Who is this for? Why would I use it? Why is it better? Why is it using fancy shit like k8s for no apparent reason? What is "high" load? Why are runtime costs important?
