Video Encoding on Playback
For video customers, our new "Load to Encode" functionality makes working with your videos even easier. When a previously unprocessed video is requested for the first time we will automatically start encoding it for optimized playback. While encoding, you will see a 423 HTTP Response from our servers to notify you that the video is processing. Once encoding has completed, the video will begin normal playback on any subsequent request.
Additionally, we've built this functionality into the imgix video player, ix-player. The video player will automatically handle the new processing flow, and begin playback of the video once available.
If you'd like more information on how to add video capabilities to your imgix plan, please contact us at sales@imgix.com.
