Understand streaming, encoding, storage, infrastructure costs, and how unit economics improve as your audience grows. - [Your content is a channel. Castr limits how much of it you can broadcast.](https://fastpix.com/blog/your-content-is-a-channel-castr-limits-how-much-of-it-you-can-broadcast): Compare FastPix and Castr for cloud playout. See differences in channel limits, scheduling, API access, EPG support, analytics, automation, and pricing for 24/7 streaming. - [Moodle video plugins: what each plugin type does, and why video needs four of them](https://fastpix.com/blog/moodle-plugin-types-video): A plugin page tells you the prefix. It does not tell you that an activity module cannot hold your credentials, or that tiny_ is not a plugin type at all. - [Handling video webhooks in Supabase without losing events, using pgmq](https://fastpix.com/blog/pgmq-webhook-queue-supabase): A pgmq queue is easy to create and easy to get wrong. The retry budget, the dead letter rule and the backoff are where events actually get lost. - [Supabase and Next.js video: what runs on the server and what runs in the browser](https://fastpix.com/blog/supabase-nextjs-video-server-browser): The Supabase quickstart gives you two clients and a middleware file. It never says which key each one may hold, and a video app carries two vendors' secrets. - [Running scheduled jobs that call an API, with Supabase pg_cron and edge functions](https://fastpix.com/blog/supabase-pg-cron-edge-functions): A Supabase cron job that calls an edge function fires and returns in milliseconds, whatever the function does next. That gap is where the failures hide. - [Live upload and encode status in your UI with Supabase Realtime](https://fastpix.com/blog/supabase-realtime-video-upload-status): The row your UI is waiting for is written by a worker, not by the person watching. That one fact changes the SQL, the grants and the pending state. - [Supabase row-level security for video: scoping media, uploads and stream keys](https://fastpix.com/blog/supabase-rls-video-tables): Row-level security decides which rows a role can see. It does not decide which columns, and one of these tables holds a live stream key. - [Keeping your video library in sync with Supabase Postgres](https://fastpix.com/blog/sync-fastpix-video-library-postgres): Calling the video API whenever you need a title works until you need to join it against your own tables. Then the metadata has to live in your database. - [Learning analytics for video: the four things an LMS cannot tell you](https://fastpix.com/blog/video-learning-analytics): A learner who drags the scrubber to the end fires the same completion event as one who watched. Your LMS cannot tell them apart. - [How to add video to a WordPress site without using YouTube](https://fastpix.com/blog/add-video-to-wordpress-without-youtube): There are four ways to get a video onto a WordPress page. They differ on who serves the bytes, and that one answer decides everything else. - [Best video hosting for WordPress in 2026](https://fastpix.com/blog/best-video-hosting-for-wordpress): Four video hosts, each built for developers embedding a player, and a WordPress side none of them kept current. The plugin directory shows how current. - [Best WordPress video player plugins in 2026](https://fastpix.com/blog/best-wordpress-video-player-plugins): WordPress core already ships a player. It plays one file at one bitrate, and a player plugin fixes the look while leaving the other four jobs open. - [Video hosting for LearnDash, TutorLMS, LifterLMS and LearnPress](https://fastpix.com/blog/learndash-tutorlms-lifterlms-video-hosting): All four WordPress LMS plugins learn that a lesson finished from the learner's own browser. A dragged scrubber ends in the same state as watching. - [Presto Player alternatives for WordPress video in 2026](https://fastpix.com/blog/presto-player-alternatives): A player plugin draws the video and brands it. Your analytics depth, your access rules and your delivery bill are decided by the host underneath, not by the plugin. - [Protecting paid video on WordPress: signed URLs, DRM and what each one stops](https://fastpix.com/blog/protect-video-wordpress): Signed URLs do not stop a download. They stop the second download, by someone else, later. - [Hero and background video in WordPress without wrecking LCP](https://fastpix.com/blog/wordpress-background-video-lcp): The video is not what Chrome is timing. Compressing it harder usually moves nothing, because the thing being measured is a still image you probably never looked at. - [Live streaming from WordPress with RTMPS and SRT](https://fastpix.com/blog/wordpress-live-streaming): One shortcode, placed once, shows a waiting card before the broadcast, the player during it, and the recording after. Nobody edits the page at showtime. - [Running video on WordPress Multisite, per site and not network wide](https://fastpix.com/blog/wordpress-multisite-video): Network activation would give every site on the network the same video library. That is the reason it is refused, and everything else follows from it. - [Moving a WordPress Media Library off your server](https://fastpix.com/blog/wordpress-offload-media): Offloading moves your videos and fixes your disk problem. It does not change the file, which is where the surprises come from. - [Video analytics in WordPress: what an event counter cannot tell you](https://fastpix.com/blog/wordpress-video-analytics): A view count is a JavaScript event that survived the trip to a collector. Blockers, consent and closed tabs decide how many did. - [What video formats WordPress supports, and what actually plays everywhere](https://fastpix.com/blog/wordpress-video-formats): Core accepts about fifteen containers on upload. It builds a player for five. Browsers narrow it again, and the three lists never consult each other. - [Managing a large WordPress video library from WP-CLI](https://fastpix.com/blog/wordpress-video-library-wp-cli): Every wp fastpix command queues a job and exits. That is fine until nothing is draining the queue, and status is the only place that shows it. - [What a WordPress video plugin actually does, and the nine things to check before installing one](https://fastpix.com/blog/wordpress-video-plugin-checklist): Every plugin description says fast, easy and beautiful. None of them says which of the three jobs it does. - [The WordPress video shortcode, every parameter explained](https://fastpix.com/blog/wordpress-video-shortcode): The official docs list eight attributes. The function registers fourteen. And loop=\"off\" turns looping on. - [Why video is what makes your WordPress site slow, and the four fixes](https://fastpix.com/blog/wordpress-video-site-speed): A caching plugin never sees your video file, and an image pipeline never touches it. The largest object on the page is the one nobody optimised. - [Why WordPress will not let you upload your video, and the four ways around it](https://fastpix.com/blog/wordpress-video-upload-size-limit): The Media screen reads two PHP directives. Four separate things can stop your upload, and the error message names none of them. - [The Astro-native video uploader, and why props cannot be functions](https://fastpix.com/blog/astro-uploader-dom-events): Every other framework's uploader takes a function as a prop. The Astro one cannot, because Astro serialises props during server rendering and a function has no serialised form. The resolver is assigned from a script instead, and the events are plain DOM events. - [Why video in Astro needs an adapter](https://fastpix.com/blog/astro-video-adapter): Cannot use server-rendered pages without an adapter is Astro telling you something true about your architecture. A signed upload URL has to be minted per request, and a statically generated site has no per-request anything. - [Astro video embed without shipping a player bundle](https://fastpix.com/blog/astro-video-embed-performance): You chose Astro because pages ship no JavaScript by default. Then a video embed arrives with a player bundle, and the number that made the framework worth picking moves. Most of that cost is avoidable, and the part that is not is worth paying deliberately. - [Uploading video from Expo Go does not work](https://fastpix.com/blog/expo-go-upload-fails): The playback screen works. The upload screen throws about a native module that does not exist. Expo Go ships a fixed set of native modules and cannot load yours, which is why one half of the app runs and the other half never will. - [Adding playback analytics to a React Native app](https://fastpix.com/blog/expo-video-analytics): On the web you add an attribute to a player tag. In React Native there is no tag and no DOM, so instrumentation works by wrapping your video component in a higher-order component. That difference decides which player you can use, and it decides it before you write a line. - [Resumable video upload in React Native](https://fastpix.com/blog/expo-video-upload): A phone changes network between Wi-Fi and cellular, the app gets backgrounded, the lift loses signal. Every one of those restarts a plain fetch from byte zero. Chunked upload that resumes from the last confirmed byte is the difference between a feature that works on your desk and one that works on a commute. - [expo-video vs react-native-video in 2026](https://fastpix.com/blog/expo-video-vs-react-native-video): Both libraries wrap AVPlayer and ExoPlayer, so both play adaptive HLS with no extra work. The decision is made somewhere else: whether you can run in Expo Go, how much player surface you need, and whether anything else in your stack has to hook into the player instance. - [Where the upload URL is created in every framework](https://fastpix.com/blog/framework-upload-url-hub): Direct-to-storage video upload has one server-side step, and every framework puts it somewhere different. Here is the same operation written for Next.js, React Router, SvelteKit, Astro, Laravel, Vite and React Native, plus the environment-variable rule that publishes your Secret Key in four of them. - [Why your Laravel video route returns a 419](https://fastpix.com/blog/laravel-419-video-upload): 419 Page Expired on an upload route and 419 on a webhook route look identical in the log and need opposite fixes. One is a missing header. The other is a route that can never produce the header, and excluding it hands you a security problem to solve. - [Streaming video from Laravel without FFmpeg](https://fastpix.com/blog/laravel-video-streaming-without-ffmpeg): The standard Laravel transcoding setup is a queued job that shells out to FFmpeg, and it fails in ways that look like Horizon problems. A dead worker, a half-written file, a retry that starts from zero, and a status column that says processing forever. - [Laravel video upload without touching php.ini](https://fastpix.com/blog/laravel-video-upload): Every Laravel video upload thread ends in the same place: raise upload_max_filesize, raise post_max_size, raise max_execution_time, restart PHP-FPM, discover your host caps it anyway. There is a version of this feature where none of those settings apply, because the file never reaches PHP. - [Background video in Next.js without killing LCP](https://fastpix.com/blog/nextjs-background-video): A full-bleed video behind the headline is the most expensive thing on a landing page and the most likely thing to become its Largest Contentful Paint. Most of the fix is deciding what paints first, and the rest is knowing which autoplay rules browsers enforce silently. - [Why every visitor gets the same Next.js upload URL](https://fastpix.com/blog/nextjs-same-upload-url): The first upload works. The second overwrites it, or fails outright. Every visitor received the same signed URL because it was created while the page rendered, and Next.js rendered that page once, at build time, into static HTML. - [Adding video analytics to a Next.js app](https://fastpix.com/blog/nextjs-video-analytics): Video analytics in Next.js is less about the SDK than about which side of the server boundary each value lives on. The workspace key belongs in the browser. The video title comes from a Server Component. The viewer ID comes from your session. Getting that split right is the whole integration. - [Why react-native-video shows no player](https://fastpix.com/blog/react-native-video-no-player): The component renders, nothing throws, and the screen shows a black rectangle or nothing at all. react-native-video has five distinct failures that all look like this, and telling them apart takes about a minute once you know what to check first. - [Large video uploads in React Router v7](https://fastpix.com/blog/react-router-v7-video-upload): React Router v7 in Framework Mode gives you a resource route for the one server-side step video upload needs. It also gives you explicit route registration, generated types and a Vite build, each of which produces a specific failure the first time through. - [Migrating a Remix video upload to React Router v7](https://fastpix.com/blog/remix-to-react-router-video): Remix v2 is in maintenance mode and create-remix now points at create-react-router. For a video upload feature that migration is smaller than it sounds: the loaders, actions and resource routes are the same, and three mechanical things change around them. - [Getting past BODY_SIZE_LIMIT for video uploads](https://fastpix.com/blog/sveltekit-body-size-limit-video): SvelteKit's Node adapter caps request bodies at 512 kB, so a video upload through a form action fails immediately. Raising the cap works right up until the reverse proxy in front of it disagrees, and the whole argument disappears if the file never reaches your server. - [Playing HLS in SvelteKit](https://fastpix.com/blog/sveltekit-hls-player): The HLS part is not the hard part. Getting hls.js into a SvelteKit app means getting past Vite's dependency pre-bundling and past server rendering, and both produce errors that say nothing about video. - [Upload video from SvelteKit without adding React](https://fastpix.com/blog/sveltekit-video-upload-without-react): Adding react and react-dom to a SvelteKit project to get an upload widget is a real cost with a real alternative. The chunked, resumable upload engine underneath is plain JavaScript, and driving it yourself means the UI is Svelte all the way down. - [The video.media.ready webhook, and how to verify it](https://fastpix.com/blog/video-media-ready-webhook-hub): onSuccess means the bytes arrived. The video still cannot play. The signal that it can is a webhook, and almost every first implementation of it fails signature verification for the same reason: the body was parsed before it was checked. - [The best React video player libraries in 2026, compared](https://fastpix.com/blog/best-react-video-player): React has no video player. It has an HTML5 video element and a set of libraries that wrap it, and they solve very different problems. This compares six of them on what they ship rather than what they promise: protocol support, whether you get a UI, DRM, analytics, and the work left over. - [React dropzone patterns for video uploads](https://fastpix.com/blog/react-dropzone-video-upload): A React drop zone is four DOM events and a boolean, right up to the moment a user drags a 3 GB folder of footage over a child element and the highlight starts flickering. These are the patterns that hold: the dragleave counter, reading DataTransfer correctly, validating before a byte moves, and keeping the zone reachable from a keyboard. ## Video Glossary - [AAC](https://fastpix.com/video-glossary/aac): AAC stands for Advanced Audio Coding, it was developed by MPEG Moving Picture Experts Group, to replace MP3 as it provide higher sound quality in the same bitrate. - [ABR](https://fastpix.com/video-glossary/abr): ABR stands for Adaptive Bitrate Streaming.
