Apologies, I'm an old man trying to learn new tricks.
I'm on my 2nd, shared hosting account. Each advertised they support UNA in shared environments. I'm now on day 6 of being down because we're running into a variety of issues. Ffmpeg was the biggest. I can't afford a vps, nor do I have the experience with any type of VPS environments.
For the site I envision, I won't need the UNA app to convert media per sey. So far, the most I'll need is to be able to post photos in either a blog/ post. Any videos will be posted as youtube embeds in blog/post. I was planning on using LivePeer video streaming.
Many Shared hosting plans advertise they support UNA, but when it comes to Ffmpeg, all that I've check say they can't or won't allow it on shared hosting, then I get the up sell routine for a VSP.
So my question is, what Core Apps / System App or free Apps use Ffmpeg?
Do I really need it? Will UNA work without it?
Thanks for your patience.
Works fine if you don't plan upload videos on your server.
I am on a shared account and also have a VPS. Initially I had some issues with the build I was using for ffmpeg and experimented until I got the right one. Happy to help you troubleshoot if needed.
I don't plan on uploading videos to my site in the short term. I can post them as youtube embeds.
