Hosting videos issue

So any video of any format hosted in any location, vps, cPanel, custom panel will freeze the browsing session / site for a few. It acts exactly like rate limiting. Just basic VPS install with a web server playing back the video just using html5 in the browser same issue.
VPS spec doesn't matter it still occurs. Its like the VPS or shared host rate limits just that current browser session making the entire site unusable, but during this time one can open a different browser or incognito and its fine while the other session still wont load the website.
Dustin from Racknerd 2 years ago even confirmed this issue and seen it himself.
Just upload a few videos into a folder click in and out of them a few times you'll see it yourself. more noticable on larger videos, but does also happen on 20mb videos for example. Not sure about other browsers, but this 100% happens in Chrome.
Is there something I'm missing? Any script I could use on a VPS to host the videos through?
I tested bunny.net which works just but perfer to not have to have something else I have to pay for.

Assuming you have the rights to use said videos you want to stream...
Then I'd be happy to spin up a demo and see if this also occurs on the sitetide cloud hosting services.
:-)
Indeed I do, but for my use case SiteTide would be a bit over budget
Hello , try mediacms , verry great and no any buffer of videos
if you have host on our network we are very happy to hosted , we are full ignore DMCA and it's possible install to any of our products

It's your 2003 shit code and has nothing to with HTML5 or the browser
Plenty of open source projects out there you should use something update to date
I think you need some kind of encoding/streaming software? so it can do its thing...
we usage https://github.com/yoursunny/NDNts-video it s for pre encode dash video very efficient on server never freeze
Thanks!! Mediacms seems promising!
Share nginx config and I'll point out your issue. For example it may be too big lookahead which causes the streaming process (and that HTTP session) to stall, while other HTTP sessions arent stalled and still work.
If not config then your videos arent encoded properly, for example MP4's need moov atom at beginning of the file, which you can do with faststart flag - you can fix this issue by copying audio and video stream, but adding flag with ffmpeg. No transcoding, few secs and fixed.
@HuntersPad Here is a mediacms demo I have, on a 2GB vm from Linode.
https://videos.theserveradmin.com/ I have encoding turned off, so these are just streaming the original mp4's
Thanks, Anthony
Look nice, can you make mediacms private viewing only?
Tomorrowland 2024 mix, nice.
