What will you do if one day the task of developing a video player jumps out at you?
For me, the "straw that broke the camel's back" wasn't a corporate mandate—it was a pile of 2–3 hour video lectures dumped on me via Telegram. If you've ever tried watching long-form content on a messenger app, you know the pain: it buffers like a nightmare, lags like crazy, and if you get a notification, you lose your spot instantly.
And don't get me started on TV browsers. They are an absolute embarrassment to the developer community. They work... until you hit pause. Then it’s game over.
In this series, we are going to fix this.
In this video: I’m breaking down the "pushes" that led me to start building my own video streaming infrastructure.
The Idea: A chatbot that takes a Telegram video, transcodes it on the fly using ffmpeg, and spits out a link for smooth playback on any device.
Remember when the HTML5 video tag dropped? I naively thought it would democratize video. Instead, we just swapped Flash for YouTube embeds.
How slow internet and "House M.D." forced me to learn video compression before I even knew how to code.
We are diving into the complexity of self-hosting, the nightmare that is video encoding, and the infrastructure costs required to break free from the big platforms.
