Organizations using nginx-vod-module

[erankor]

Dear nginx-vod-module subscribers, as we see increased adoption of this module,
we're interested to learn more about which organizations are using it and how.
If you wish to participate, please comment here with the name of your organization
(we may be adding a logos section to the readme).
If you also care to share some info about how you use it, or features that you'd like to see,
that would be awesome.

Thanks,

Eran

Thanks @flavioribeiro & @joaoserra !
Other people on this thread - I know it's hard to compete with a brand as famous as the New York Times :) but if you're working in a smaller organization and using this module - we'd love to hear about it as well.

Thanks!

We've built a custom CDN-solution for an online gym video service.

After using ngx_http_mp4_module for a previous version the customer wanted "real adaptive streaming". We talked with 2 CDN providers but their platforms weren't flexible enough to meet the requirements without letting them develop an expensive "custom solution". This and to prevent a vendor lockin we decided to build our own encoding/delivery solution.

Used features:

• Mapped mode with a lot of different multi-sequence playlists, generated by our custom-built encoding service
• HLS and Dash delivery
• nginx-secure-token-module and nginx-akamai-token-validate-module

What we would like to see:

• Direct download in mapped-mode with multi-sequence playlists (Direct download in mapped-mode with multi-sequence playlists #673). This is right now the only thing missing for our setup. With that we could eliminate the rest of pre-generated videos we store, and our encoding step would be way easier. Maybe we create a small webservice for reading the playlists and concatting/caching the output.

Thanks for this great module, keep up the great work!

We at Ellation are using the module for http://crunchyroll.com and http://vrv.co the usage is described here: https://medium.com/ellation-tech/just-in-time-vod-packaging-in-an-aws-environment-with-role-based-credentials-4e33202a4450

Thanks for the great module :)

We are using the module at the Berliner Philharmoniker's Digital Concert Hall (https://digitalconcerthall.com) to deliver h264 / hevc as HLS, Mpeg-Dash or PD on multiple platforms with up to UHD quality. Thank you for the module, this is great work!

We are using this module at ArvanCloud as part of our VoD service to deliver HLS and MPEG-DASH with ABR up to 4K quality.
before this, we used to use FFmpeg to generate HLS fragments and just serve them as a simple file with Nginx but now we just use FFmpeg for encoding to multiple video qualities and handle the HLS side with vod-module.

I can't tell the name of my customer but we're using the module for a VOD and live service running on trains. Each train car has its own multimedia server powered by a catalogue (a REST service developed by me) and a content delivery server provided by Nginx with nginx-vod-module.

Panda OS, have dozens of solutions based on the Kaltura VOD NGINX module, probably the best playback module one can hope for!

[equalent]

The best module for ngx!
We are using it for our VOD service

[PalmerEk]

We use it as part of our Pay Per Minute and Streaming service. We've had it in place for a couple/few years now and it's been rock solid!

We serve ~15K videos an hour (~1PB/mo) from 4 containers with very modest specs. Content is served via HLS and secured with aes-128 and signed tokens using a pull-through CDN to handle segments. While we don't (yet) transcode on the fly, we do make extensive use of the "clipping" feature.

We are in the process of moving things to cloud containers which gives me the chance to re-evaluate some of the decisions we made like: DASH support, on the fly transcoding, fragmented MP4s and the like.

CBS Interactive now uses this packager in production along some homegrown sidecar services written in Go. Really impressed by this project and looking forward to contributing back as needs arise!

[therealbenzene]

PornHub is using it..
Inspected their network

[michaeltoohig]

I use it for our wireless ISP's VOD service in the south Pacific. Internet is too expensive for for our customers to use Netflix or other services reliably (except for customers who can afford the most expensive packages) so I built my own.

https://webtor.io is using it in conjunction with https://github.com/Novage/p2p-media-loader to reduce server bandwidth usage. It is sad that mkv-support was discontinued...
