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 did. You've been told no such thing exists multiple times already. I'm just giving you options for what DOES exist. Fuck me, right?

VLC is anything but intuitive and I’m pretty sure you can’t encode media and save it on your computer, and for sure not on mobile devices

That's exactly what VLC's main purpose is. Have you even looked at it? It's one of the most intuitive front-ends to transcoding out there. Desktop, mobile, and web.

I guess I never found out how to do that. I’ve been using VLC for many years and never found a way to encode a file to something else, change its bitrate, and save to disk. It doesn’t work on iOS for sure.
