||||
// Execute launch with error handling
|
||||
return executeLaunch(commands[player]);
|
||||
}
|
||||

# Transcoding Removal & Local Player Implementation Design
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
This document outlines the complete technical design for removing all transcoding functionality from NextAV and implementing a local video player fallback system. The goal is to eliminate server-side CPU overhead while maintaining full video format support through local player integration.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current State Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### Existing Transcoding Infrastructure
|
||||
|
||||
**Active Components:**
|
||||
- `/api/stream/[id]/transcode` - Full FFmpeg transcoding endpoint
|
||||
- `/api/stream/[id]` - Main streaming with transcoding redirect logic
|
||||
- `src/lib/ffmpeg/process-registry.ts` - Process management for FFmpeg
|
||||
- Video format detection with transcoding fallback
|
||||
|
||||
**Transcoding Features:**
|
||||
- Real-time H.264 encoding with libx264
|
||||
- Multi-quality output (480p, 720p, 1080p)
|
||||
- Seek-optimized transcoding with -ss parameter
|
||||
- Process registry for concurrent session management
|
||||
- Quality-based bitrate adaptation
|
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:**
|
||||
- fluent-ffmpeg library
|
||||
- FFmpeg binary with libx264 support
|
||||
- Complex process lifecycle management
|
||||
|
||||
### Browser Security Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical Limitation:** Modern browsers prohibit automatic local application launching without explicit user interaction (click/keypress). This is a fundamental security requirement that cannot be bypassed.
|
||||
|
||||
**Compliance Requirements:**
|
||||
- All local player launches require user gesture context
|
||||
- Custom protocol handlers need one-time user authorization
|
||||
- Browser security policies must be respected
|
||||
|
||||
## New Architecture Design
|
||||
|
||||
### System Architecture Overview
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌─────────────────┐ ┌──────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐
|
||||
│ User Click │───▶│ Format Detection │───▶│ Decision Point │
|
||||
└─────────────────┘ └──────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘
|
||||
│
|
||||
┌─────────────────┐ │
|
||||
│ Local Player UI │◀─────────────┤
|
||||
└─────────────────┘ │
|
||||
│ │
|
||||
┌─────────────────┐ │
|
||||
│ Player Launch │◀─────────────┘
|
||||
└─────────────────┘
|
||||
│
|
||||
┌─────────────────┐
|
||||
│ HTTP Streaming │
|
||||
└─────────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Format Classification Matrix
|
||||
|
||||
| Format | Extension | Browser Support | Action Required |
|
||||
|--------|-----------|-----------------|-----------------|
|
||||
| **Tier 1: Native** |
|
||||
| MP4 H.264 | .mp4 | ✅ Universal | Direct ArtPlayer |
|
||||
| WebM VP9 | .webm | ✅ Chrome/Firefox/Edge | Direct ArtPlayer |
|
||||
| MP4 HEVC | .mp4 | ⚠️ Platform dependent | Direct ArtPlayer |
|
||||
| **Tier 2: Local Player** |
|
||||
| MKV | .mkv | ❌ None | Local Player Required |
|
||||
| AVI | .avi | ❌ None | Local Player Required |
|
||||
| WMV | .wmv | ❌ None | Local Player Required |
|
||||
| FLV | .flv | ❌ None | Local Player Required |
|
||||
| MOV* | .mov | ⚠️ Limited | Local Player Required |
|
||||
| TS/M2TS | .ts/.m2ts | ❌ None | Local Player Required |
|
||||
| **Tier 3: Special Handling** |
|
||||
| HLS Streams | .m3u8 | ✅ With plugin | ArtPlayer + HLS.js |
|
||||
|
||||
*Note: Some MOV files may work in browsers but reliability is low
|
||||
|
||||
### API Response Changes
|
||||
|
||||
#### Current Transcoding Response
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// OLD: Redirects to transcoding
|
||||
{
|
||||
type: 'fallback',
|
||||
supportLevel: 'limited',
|
||||
url: '/api/stream/123', // Redirects to transcode
|
||||
warning: 'Limited playback features for this format'
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### New Local Player Response
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// NEW: Direct local player guidance
|
||||
{
|
||||
type: 'local-player',
|
||||
supportLevel: 'local-player-required',
|
||||
url: '/api/stream/direct/123',
|
||||
action: 'launch-local-player',
|
||||
recommendedPlayers: ['vlc', 'elmedia', 'potplayer'],
|
||||
streamInfo: {
|
||||
contentType: 'video/mp4',
|
||||
acceptRanges: 'bytes',
|
||||
supportsSeek: true

|
||||
8. Future launches happen automatically
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Success Criteria
|
||||
|
||||
### Functional Requirements
|
||||
- [ ] All transcoding endpoints return 410 Gone
|
||||
- [ ] Unsupported formats show local player UI
|
||||
- [ ] Supported formats work with ArtPlayer
|
||||
- [ ] Player launch works on macOS and Windows
|
||||
- [ ] Settings persist across sessions
|
||||
- [ ] Stream URLs support range requests
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Requirements
|
||||
- [ ] Zero server CPU usage for video playback
|
||||
- [ ] Player launch under 2 seconds
|
||||
- [ ] No memory leaks from removed processes
|
||||
- [ ] Responsive UI during player launch
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Requirements
|
||||
- [ ] No automatic launches without user interaction
|
||||
- [ ] Proper URL authentication
|
||||
- [ ] Clear user consent for protocol handlers
|
||||
- [ ] No player enumeration vulnerabilities
|
||||
|
||||
## Migration Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Deployment Plan
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Phase 1** (Week 1): Disable transcoding endpoints
|
||||
2. **Phase 2** (Week 2): Deploy format detection changes
|
||||
3. **Phase 3** (Week 3): Release local player UI
|
||||
4. **Phase 4** (Week 4): Cleanup and optimization
|
||||
|
||||
### Rollback Plan
|
||||
|
||||
**If Critical Issues Found**:
|
||||
1. Revert API endpoints to original transcoding logic
|
||||
2. Restore original format detection
|
||||
3. Keep new UI components disabled via feature flag
|
||||
4. Investigate and fix issues before re-deployment
|
||||
|
||||
**Feature Flag Implementation**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const USE_LOCAL_PLAYER_ONLY = process.env.LOCAL_PLAYER_MODE === 'true';
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Risk Assessment
|
||||
|
||||
### High-Risk Items
|
||||
1. **Browser Security Restrictions**: Cannot bypass user interaction requirement
|
||||
2. **Player Installation Dependencies**: Users must have players installed
|
||||
3. **Network Configuration**: Firewalls may block HTTP streaming
|
||||
|
||||
### Mitigation Strategies
|
||||
1. **Clear User Education**: Provide installation links and setup instructions
|
||||
2. **Fallback Options**: Always provide stream URL for manual copy/paste
|
||||
3. **Network Detection**: Provide troubleshooting for common network issues
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
This design completely eliminates server-side transcoding while maintaining full video format support through local player integration. The solution respects browser security requirements and provides a seamless user experience through thoughtful UI design and clear user guidance.
