Video transcoding web interface (self hosted) (lemmy.zip)

Hi! I'm looking for an open-source, preferably FOSS video transcoding web interface.

I would like the transcoding to be done on the server side, be secured by a password if possible (so people don't 100% the server), and I want no data sharing. Most important feature: must allow web uploads. I don't want to automate transcoding, or transcode files that are in the server: I want clients to be able to upload their media and get it transcoded.

The transcoding aspect is important: not just a change in container / file extension, but a real transcoding (changing video codec). Being able to change the bitrate is a plus.

I've been looking at many projects and most are sadly either too simple for my needs (only container change, no real ability to choose the codec, or unchangeable bitrate), or focused on files that are already on the server.

(something like a ffmpeg web UI that runs on the server would be great)

Thanks :)

I'm not aware of any existing products, but this sounds like you could knock it out in a day writing it yourself.

That’s what I usually do but I’m trying not to reinvent the wheel this time (and not spend too much time on it). No luck :-/

Plus I’m a bad dev
