I've really enjoyed using live transcoding client apps on iOS, but have always wondered if there are any web-based live transcoding solutions. The only things I found were high end broadcasting solutions that are for live stream transcoding, not for prerecorded libraries. Perhaps a better term is on-demand transcoding or just-in-time transcoding?
Wouldn't it be cool if you could load up a URL and get transcoded audio and video of your media library for whatever browser you happen to be using?
Tonido server embeds a light weight web server and we support Http Live Streaming (HLS). The issue is with the browsers. All browsers dont support HLS yet. We can use something like flowplayer or JWPlayer. That is one option.
I used to watch lots of MKV and AVI vids, but in the last 5 years it's been mostly low quality Flash streaming and I don't hoard media any more. I prefer immediate viewing to waiting for a high def download.
On the other hand, I still hoard lots of Gb of mp3 files. No change there, but I can't use Spotify in my country.
Hey, cool app! It's nice to solve the local storage problem like this.
I am the founder of https://appstorerankings.net , a startup focused on ASO (App Store Optimization), so I'd looked up your app's keywords -- you're using "personal,live,movie,cloud,stream,air,share,remote" . That's only 49 characters out of 100 you could be using (or you've got duplicates with the title).
You should add some new keywords to your app, here are some suggestions - "server,vlc,player,audio,airplay,wmv,mkv,avi,nmp4" in order to get more downloads (These were automatically generated based on your current keywords). A lot of your competitors use file formats as keywords, so it's probably a good idea!
I'm curious how you get an app's keywords? I didn't think that information was public. For example I tried your lookup for my app and it was incorrect.
matt, getting the keywords is our secret sauce -- as you'd said, the info is not public so we're not 100% accurate, but we're pretty close. Is your app J23? What keywords did we get wrong, considering that the words in the app title for all intents count as keywords.
We provide oem version of our mobile app to Consumer Electronic companies and other chip vendors. If you want live Transcoding then you need this one: Tonido - File Access, Music and Video Streaming from Anywhere

I'll take a look and see if the web server in Tonido works there.
Edit: Looks like there's no actual transcoding option on the web interface. When I attempt to play one of my MKV files, I just get an error.
We recommend quad core cpu if you want to see 1080p movies for Tonido server.
