Implement HLS Video Conversion for Efficient Video Streaming

[DrasticCoder]

Issue Description:

Issue Type: Feature Request

Background:

Currently, the project supports video uploads, but the streaming efficiency could be significantly improved by implementing HTTP Live Streaming (HLS). HLS is a widely adopted standard for efficient video delivery, as it enables adaptive streaming, better user experiences, and reduced server load.

Issue Goal:

The goal of this issue is to implement HLS video conversion within the project. This feature will allow uploaded videos to be automatically converted into HLS format, ensuring efficient and fast video streaming.

Tasks:

1. Research HLS: Research and understand the HLS format and its benefits for video streaming.

2. Implement HLS Conversion: Develop a feature that converts uploaded videos into HLS format. This should be done server-side to ensure compatibility with various client devices.

3. Adaptive Streaming: Implement adaptive streaming capabilities to adapt video quality based on the viewer's internet connection speed and device capabilities.

4. Documentation: Update project documentation to include information about the newly added HLS conversion feature, including how to use it.

5. Testing: Rigorously test the feature to ensure it works as expected and doesn't introduce any regressions.

Expected Output:

Upon completion of this issue, users should be able to upload videos, and the system should automatically convert them to HLS format. Users will benefit from more efficient and faster video streaming, especially on slower internet connections or mobile devices.

Note:

I am enthusiastic about contributing to this project and am willing to take the lead in implementing this feature during Hacktoberfest if the project maintainers approve this proposal.

Your feedback and thoughts on this feature request are highly valuable, and I'm eager to hear your input.

Thank you for considering this enhancement!
