AVideo Platform Admin Manual

Recommended Configuration

• 2 CPU cores
• 2 GB Ram

Installation

LAMP

LAMP means Linux Apache Mysql and PHP. Those manuals are great if you set it up from scratch.

• How to install LAMP, FFMPEG and Git on a fresh Ubuntu 16.x For AVIdeo Platform version 4.x or newer
• How to install LAMP, FFMPEG and Git on a fresh Ubuntu 18.x for AVIdeo Platform version 4.x or newer
• Install AVIdeo Platform in Debian 9.3

Nginx

Nginx is only experimental supported for the moment.

Since we have php-routing enable, this should be possible:

https://github.com/skipperbent/simple-php-router#setting-up-nginx

Thanks to patriclougheed, there are also two config-files for nginx (this solution surround the php-router above):

• Streamer
• Encoder (this is needed anyway, until php-router also reaches the encoder)

Both methods should work. You can find it's issue here: https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/issues/691

Microsofts IIS

This should work, but it's more a side-effect of implement simple-php-router than something else (eventualy it will never be tested?).

The web.config-file is already added, a direct copy-paste of this:

https://github.com/skipperbent/simple-php-router#setting-up-iis

Performance

When you have a lot of users, your server can reach it's limits. To prevent this, there are some things possible.

• Use a host with mysqlnd enabled! We provide support for non-mysqlnd-host's, but we have a SQL-cache for mysqlnd only. Also, this is a fast, native driver (better performance anyway). If you are unshure if you have this, ask your hoster.
• Enable minify of javascript! This helps only, to reduce the bandwidth a little. Go to advanced customization-plugin and enable "Minify JS". Clear videos/cache after this!
• Enable the Cache-Plugin
• Disable (Gallery- and Youphpflix-plugin) and not set gifs (use less bandwidth)

Livestream

• Setup streamer (video-tutorial)
• Record Live Stream
• Configure NGINX Stream Resolutions

Troubleshooting

Various things can cause problems. Here, you find steps that eventually fix your problem. If it doesn't, please read Check Ajax answer and How to find errors on AVideo Platform for a useful issue - this makes it easier for us to help you.

• Recheck, if all database-upgrades are done (Menu -> Update version)
• Clear the cache-folder (delete all files in videos/cache/)
• Ad-managment is broken? Try disable your adblocker
• Increase default_socket_timeout in php.ini (default_socket_timeout =900 seems to do a good job)
