Hi Guys.
Not sure if this is the right place to post this...
I have to feature requests that I think would greatly improve usability.
1. The ability to rearrange files and folders. For instance alphabetically (or manually). This would really go a long way in terms of organizing posts.
2. Bulk actions. For instance if I would like to turn of (or on) Url based transformations for a 100 files. I have to do them one by one.. It would be great if I could do them simultaneously.
Other than that - thank you for an amazing platform. Amazing support. At an amazing price.
Regards

i want to secure my training videos on Thrive Theme Apprentice. Will this work?
Yes it works, you can always create free account and test it out but you can integrate videos in to theme.
Hello. After using the Publito and the offload plugins, GTMetrix gives my website a really bad score due to Keep Alive not enable, and the CDN not caching the media. How do I fix this?
Keepalive is ON on media.publit.io.
Check your end if using Cloudfront or Cloudflare as cdn/cname and make sure you are passing Keepalive header to media.publit.io
I have the wordpress plugin setup including the cname. Is there a way to have all of the media default to publitio instead of the wp media folder?
Yes, use Publitio Offloading plugin for that
I'm trying to upload a 1GB video file, and it fails. Is this because there's a filesize limit?
That's on a paid account right?
Hello, my website https://shipleap.com has a video that works great on safari. The video works fine also on Chrome but the sound is not working. Can you please check? It's under the watch video button at the top of the page.
Good to know! :)
Hi Nemanja
I can't seem to post this as a reply... I tried switching of URL based transformations but when I embed the video it simply displays "the author has turned of URL based transformations" (or something like that).
I'm not sure what "streamable markers" are or how I can add it? (maybe you can guide me on this)
Here is the URL to a video: https://media.publit.io/file/Graad7Junie/Vraestel2/quuHmkPp.mp4 (it's just an example - for this one file transformations are switched to "on"). I have 100s of videos that I need to upload.
I tried sending a message with the "contact us" form but haven't had a response yet. If you would prefer we continued this conversation there then you can just reply to that message.
Regards

We do not transcode original mp4 files - we only do '-movflags' to the beginning of the file if file is not streamable.
So url of original video in mp4 (without options) will not be transcoded again.
If you enter any options - we will create new video (transcode) using original video as starting point.
I am looking for a bit more of an explanation on file privacy.
I want my website members to be able to download files within a closed self-hosted LMS (learning management system) from the Publit.io URLs I provide my website users but I don't want the URLs to be publicly found anywhere else (ideally, the URLs can't be shared from a member to a non-member either).
How does the Privacy toggle work?
I also want my users to be able to listen to audio files (hosted on Publit.io) on my site, and similarly I don't want them to be listenable/downloadable anywhere else but on the page I use them.
Thanks Publitio for the information. This information helped me understand better that Domain Level protection is something I would like to enable. So I am testing Domain Level Protection. After I made this change, my embedded files gave me an error that domain level protection was stopping me from using (Despite me using the correct domain). Does it take some time for the error to go away?
