[FAQ] How to solve "video is being encoded, please wait a minute" issue?

StreamTube provides three solutions for encoding (transcoding) videos into playable formats:

1. WP Video Encoder

Encoding files locally with FFmpeg software https://phpface.ticksy.com/article/19800/

You have activated the WP Video Encoder (WVE) plugin during the installation of all required plugins, but FFmpeg isn't found or not working properly. As a result, the following messages may appear and the process will be stuck indefinitely.

The video is currently queued for encoding.

video is being encoded, please wait a minute.

Encoding has failed.

In such cases, check the FFmpeg configuration and ensure that it's installed and functioning as desired.

If you don't plan to transcode videos locally, it's strongly recommended to deactivate the WP Video Encoder (WVE) plugin.

2. Bunny Stream (CS)

3. Cloudflare Stream (CS)

If you use either CS or BS service, you have to deactivate the WVE plugin, FFmpeg is unnecessary, and a shared hosting with enough resources is good enough for you.

If you have none of the above, you have to deactivate the WVE plugin and you will need to upload the MP4 H.264/265 codec, other formats may not be playback because of browser limitations.
