How it works ?
An IPFS node is created on your browser by using JS IPFS then it will connect to the IPFS network and starts fetching and seeding file blocks.
Thanks to the IPFS plugin, Shaka
Player will use this IPFS node to fetch chunks of the video stream from other nodes.
As long as your browser tab is open, event if you do not play the video, you will contribute to
its diffusion.
That's mean that there is no more centralized storage and this kind of solution will drastically
reduce the cost of bandwidth (which is the main cost of video streaming).
How can I share my videos on IPFS using this player ?
We work on IPFS integration to Shaka Player in order to provide this option to AutoTube. You will soon be able to encode and publish your videos on IPFS as simply as you do on YouTube.
FAQ
- Where files are stored ?
All blocks are stored in your browser using IndexDB. - Why there is only one resolution ?
In fact there is one resolution but 3 bitrates. The player will automatically switch between them according to your bandwidth. - Does this Shaka IPFS plugin is available ?
It will be, let us some time to clean up our "dirty poc code". - How can I contact you for more info ?

About "Spring" the animation displayed
Spring is the story of a shepherd girl and her dog, who face ancient spirits in order to continue the cycle of life. This poetic and visually stunning short film was written and directed by Andy Goralczyk, inspired by his childhood in the mountains of Germany.The Spring team used the development version of Blender 2.80 for the entire production, before the software was in official Beta even. As for all of Blender’s Open Movies, the entire production process and all its source files are being shared on the production platform Blender Cloud.
