| Jan 9, 2017 at 12:51 | comment | added | yagmoth555 Mod | @EEAA I agree, I went too far for meta. On a side note, now that I know the OP use a paid account, with priority support included, the question should be asked to them directly, as a quick search on their forum show me hes not alone with that problem. | |
| Jan 9, 2017 at 1:26 | comment | added | EEAA Mod | OK everyone, let's keep the comments on-topic here. This is not the venue to debate how the OP has designed their solution. | |
| Jan 9, 2017 at 1:13 | comment | added | Gaia | @yagmoth555 here's one off the top of my head: laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/…. Additionally, you might not see and I am not sure about Pluralsight or MSVM specifically, but a lot of training portals use white labeled services (as we do), such as Kaltura, Ooyala or Brightcove. Vimeo would not block our Business paid account, and this could happen to any other provider we could choose. Not sure I understand what you mean by competitor raising a copyright issue. | |
| Jan 8, 2017 at 20:45 | comment | added | EEAA Mod | @Gaia As the deleted comments on your other question indicate, you're hardly in a position to call people out for being rude. | |
| Jan 8, 2017 at 20:08 | comment | added | Gaia | @GregAskew, thank you, that is constructive feedback. | |

This is a creative solution. This is also a narrow edge case, narrowed by your focus on what you perceive as a problem, with a solution that is confined to your highly-filtered view of how to solve it. That is two additional problems with this question. A question too narrow may not be of benefit to many others, and may not a good candidate for the forum. A question that requires a solution is confined to very narrow requirements or a highly-filtered view of how to solve it by the person asking for help limits the abilities of others to address what may be the real problem.

changed title to better reflect the true nature of the post
|
| Jan 7, 2017 at 23:55 | comment | added | Gaia | Changing title to "which policy is being circumvented", which is the determinant whether or not the original question is suitable for SF. | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 23:39 | comment | added | Gaia | The same difference between me making sure my videos are available via as many ways as possible and an employee accessing videos they should not access. | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 23:35 | comment | added | EEAA Mod | What is the difference between you being a proxy for the videos and an employee using a proxy site to access resources that would otherwise be blocked? | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 23:34 | comment | added | Gaia | @EEAA We produce and own the videos, we can serve them from anywhere we want. That is our servers, kaltura, vimeo or elsewhere. Which policy is being circumvented when we relay the videos from a blocked OVN to our servers? If they wanted to block video streaming they would and we would have to mail a DVD. | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 23:00 | comment | added | EEAA Mod | One person's "creative solution" is another person's policy circumvention. | |

| Jan 7, 2017 at 21:32 | comment | added | Gaia | Aside from stored, online video needs to be transcoded (multiple formats need to be stored + cost/time to transcode), served (bandwidth costs), tracked (we cannot come close to building the analytics infrastructure OVNs have) and CDN'ed (which we can do but it comes bundled more cost effectively in an OVN service). Most importantly, an OVN is the most cost effective way to use these services together. | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 21:14 | comment | added | yagmoth555 Mod | My question is why you dont host the video directly. | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 19:42 | comment | added | Gaia | The videos are not pay per view, but they are not open to the public. They are proprietary. Not sure I understand your question. | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 19:09 | comment | added | yagmoth555 Mod | Then host those video ? Why you host them on another open platform ? that mean a user that dont pay can see the same video as someone that pay? | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 17:29 | comment | added | Gaia | Yes, even if it was cheaper to overnight a DVD to South Korea, our business is to deliver the materials instantly and track progress of the training. Thanks Michael. | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 17:27 | comment | added | Michael Hampton Mod | Well, then. As long as you're sure of your numbers. | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 17:23 | comment | added | Gaia | Less than 3% of our users have Vimeo blocked, the bandwidth costs are minimal. Also, this is B2B, we don't deal with a lot of users. Overnighting DVDs around the globe is time consuming, not cheap, and we cannot track whether the users watched the video, which is required by Federal Regulations in this space (we have to rely on their signature and it creates a lot of paperwork). Our DC is AWS BTW ;) | |
| Jan 7, 2017 at 17:20 | comment | added | Michael Hampton Mod | You may as well ship those people a DVD too. This will be far more expensive in terms of bandwidth, unless you got a really good deal from your datacenter... | |
