How to count of viewer of video like viewer of live stream, to find trended video in realtime, not in time span.
A service that looks like youtube studio that provides statistics for others videos.
The way to retrieve watching counter, for video, that looks like live watching counter in youtube.
I read about youtube analytics tools, statistics tools, youtube api, none of them not provide way to find a realtime trended video.
youtube studio is, but only for me, not for others videos.

I want to create a video playlist and have that playlist played on a loop on my webpage. I have been experimenting with NodeJS/React etc. trying to find a solution. I find it is even difficult to form the question so I am reaching out here in a longer format hoping I can get some help.
All I'm really looking for is a way to play a playlist mentioned above (mp4 video files, ect) on a loop and finally keeping that video playlist in sync between users.
I have looked things like react-player but I cannot tell if it will keep videos synchronized. Does anyone know?
Edit: I am going to keep researching and add notes here.
Possible Ideas
Use amazon s3 for rtp stream and then use some type of node video player to display rtp stream to webpage. would this not keep the video in sync for each user?
I written a code(In python) to automatically upload videos to YouTube
Now, the problem:
I can only upload 6 videos (quota limit = 10,000/day)
Is there any way to upload video on YouTube by python or any other language
Thx in advance
There are two ways to upload videos to YouTube. You can do it manually though the YouTube web application or you can do it programmatically though the YouTube data api.
The YouTube data api has a cost based quota system. Which means that you are given a default of 10000 quota points, and each request you make costs something against that quota. Inserting videos for example costs 1600 quota points.

The programming language you use does not matter, the quota will be the same. So no there is no other way of uploading videos to YouTube using the api.
You should just request a quota extension if you need to upload more videos.
I am using Azure Blob Storage to store a video. I would like a user to be able to scroll the video to any point in time and play it from there.
For short videos, there is no problem because the whole video loads and you can do that, but for larger videos, it does not seem to work out of the box. And in some sense it makes sense - files by default do not have the functionality to be downloadable from the middle. But all decent video streaming websites offer this functionality. I must be missing some video concepts, would appreciate, if someone linked me to some articles explaining how things like this are done. Bonus points if the solution is using Microsoft Azure.

Video streaming servers or cloud services are usually dedicated specialised servers and their functionality can be quite complex.
A video 'file' typically consists of one or more video and audio tracks in a 'container' like MP4. The container will have header information and pointers to the track info.
Simple HTTP streaming of an mp4 file is possible if your server supports range requests, i.e. downloading parts of the file at a time, and if the header information is at the start of the video file - in mp4 is it usually at the end by default but can be moved to the start.
More sophisticated streaming servers, including most/all of the popular commercial services, use a dedicated streaming protocol, typically ABR HLS or DASH these days. These provide chunked multiple different bit rate versions of the video and allow the client switch between bit rates for each chunk it downloads - see more info here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42365034/334402
The thumbnails you see when you scroll along a video timeline are actually usually a separate track in the video file or stream. They are a set of images at timepoints and the entire set of thumbnails can be downloaded quickly at the start of playback to give a view of what a particular part of the video will look like if the user wants to jump to it. When the user actually jumps to that section of the video, the client requests from the server the chunks or section of the file corresponding to that thumbnail.
Azure CDN actually provides some nice functionality:
video starts to play instantly (browser doesn't need to wait for the video to fully load)
you can scroll back/forward in time.
(Obviously, this in addition to the standard CDN functionality of multiple PoP, caching, etc.)
The above CDN setup was tested on Standard Microsoft, but Verizon and Akamai seem to be offering similar functionality.
Similar to how YouTube captions videos, is there any audio hosting service out there that will transcribe audio and provide a written transcription for accessibility purposes?
No.
You could upload the audio to YouTube as a video file and get its auto-captions, terrible as they are, then extract those.
You should know that YouTube's auto-captioning should never (never) be relied on. You can instead use it to generate a rough time-based set of captions that you can then download and correct.
The easiest way to do that is via No More Craptions, which will take a YouTube video with auto-captions and walk you through correcting them in a simple interface.
You may then download your completed work as a transcript as well. When you do that, remember to offer a plain text link near the audio file / player on the page with a clear indication of what the user will receive.
Let me reiterate — never rely on YouTube auto-captions. Always correct whatever YouTube provides. Always.
So I lead a team of engineers located across 3 timezones, and when we have a meeting we record it, so that it can reviewed at a later date. Currently we are just storing it on an apache server. If someone wants to watch one of the videos they must download it and then watch it.
Would it be possible to configure it so that they could stream the videos instead of downloading them?
Thanks :)
If the video is mp4, and if you have reasonable bandwidth available, then you can simply make the video available on your server and use the HTML5 video tag on a web page to stream it.
If you don't have or don't want a separate web page just for this, then you can use a general purpose video player, such as VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html, and simply provide the URL to the video on your server.
One thing to be aware of - a regular MP4 file has the metadata at the end of the file, but for streaming you want this to be moved to the start of the file. There are several tools which will do this (google mp4 fast start) - here is an example:
