Hi guys, I am kinda new to Laravel (I know some basic things), and I decided to make video sharing app, something like youtube maybe, but not as complex. Like, there would be a homepage with all the videos with pagination, some filters for videos, also users could add their own videos.
I was hoping for some pointers from more experienced people here. Or perhaps even some tutorials/guides. Especially about video uploading, saving into DB and then displaying on the page.
Normally you'd have a service provider that actually holds the videos, such as Vimeo. But there are others. The link and an image / intro is still on your website, but once the user clicks to play video it's streamed from Vimeo or whatever provider you use.
As far as placement and playing the video, you could probably use an iframe.
