README

A Kirby plugin to upload video files to Mux.

Installation

Download

Download and copy this repository to /site/plugins/kirby-mux.

Git submodule

git submodule add https://github.com/robinscholz/kirby-mux.git site/plugins/kirby-mux

Composer

composer require robinscholz/kirby-mux

Configuration

Add a .env file to the root of your Kirby plugin with the following properties:

MUX_TOKEN_ID

In order for the plugin to work, you need to create an API Access Token on the MUX dashboard. Save the Token ID here.

MUX_TOKEN_SECRET

Save the associated Token Secret here.

MUX_DEV

Set this to true for local development. Instead of the actual video, the plugin will upload a test video to Mux. This is neccessary, since videos need to be publicly hosted for Mux to be able to import them.

NOTE: This plugin includes a .env.example file as well.

Caveats

The plugin does not include any frontend facing code or snippets. In order to stream the videos from Mux you need to implement your own custom video player. HLS.js is a good option for example.

Plugin Development

Kirbyup is used for the development and build setup.

Kirbyup will be fetched remotely with your first npm run command, which may take a short amount of time.

Development

Start the dev process with:

npm run dev

This will automatically update the index.js and index.css of the plugin as soon as changes are made. Reload the Panel to see the code changes reflected.

Production

Build final files with:

npm run build

This will automatically create a minified and optimized version of the index.js and index.css.
