Project: User Video Upload and Playback with IBM Cloud Video

Streaming

Creating a system for users to upload their movies and videos to a platform and integrating
IBM Cloud Video Streaming services for high-quality video playback involves several
steps.

Objective:
Create a platform where users can upload their videos and movies, and integrate IBM Cloud
Video Streaming services to ensure high-quality video playback.

Key Components:

1. User Interface:

- User registration and login functionality.

- Video upload form.

- Video playback interface.

2. Backend Server:

- Handles user authentication.

- Manages video storage.

- Integrates with IBM Cloud Video Streaming services.

3. IBM Cloud Video Streaming Setup:

- Create an IBM Cloud Video Streaming account.

- Configure video channels and settings.

4. Database:

- Store user information.

- Store video metadata.

5. Video Processing:
 - Transcode and store uploaded videos in suitable formats and resolutions.

- Generate video thumbnails and metadata.

6. User Flow:

- Users register or log in to the platform.

- They can upload videos, providing details like title, description, and tags.

- Uploaded videos are processed and stored on the server.

- Videos are transcoded into different quality levels for adaptive streaming.

- Video metadata (title, description, tags, etc.) is stored in the database.

- Users can browse and search for videos.

- Clicking on a video loads the video player for playback.

- The video player utilizes IBM Cloud Video Streaming services for smooth and highquality
playback.
