req: watermark videos #133

You mean for embeds? Hopefully you don't wanna actually patch each video to apply the watermark so that it remains on the video itself forever?

ralyodio commented 4 years ago

No I want to actually add a watermark to the video with ffmpeg. I know how to do it if you need a command.

So if I'd upload a video I own on nodetube, then let's say I delete or lose the original video, and I wanna download it from a nodetube instance that still has it, will it be watermarked forever? If so then this feels just wrong, ethically wrong because nodetube doesn't own the videos I upload, nodetube is just a platform for sharing videos. Not even PeerTube or Youtube is doing it.

Will this be optional? Will this be turned off by default?

mayeaux commented 4 years ago

I can promise it will never be on by default, and I personally will never have it on any of my instances, but I think it's still a cool feature. I have to refactor/reorganize the backend logic for uploading, at that point to add watermarking as an optional ffmpeg step would be pretty trivial.

That said I will probably never work on it because it's not a priority to me but once the backend refactor is done I'll add on this thread where it the watermark logic should be added and how it can be done with ffmpeg.
