Mux Video
This example uses Mux Video, an API-first platform for video. The example features video uploading and playback in a Next.js application.
Demo
https://with-mux-video.now.sh/
Deploy your own
Deploy the example using Vercel:
How to use
Execute create-next-app
with npm or Yarn to bootstrap the example:
npx create-next-app --example with-mux-video with-mux-video-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example with-mux-video with-mux-video-app
Note
Important: When creating uploads, this demo sets cors_origin: "*"
in the pages/api/upload.js
file. For extra security, you should update this value to be something like cors_origin: 'https://your-app.com'
, to restrict uploads to only be allowed from your application.
This example uses:
- SWR — dynamically changing the
refreshInterval
depending on if the client should be polling for updates or not /pages/api
routes — a couple endpoints for making authenticated requests to the Mux API.- Dynamic routes using
getStaticPaths
andfallback: true
, as well as dynamic API routes.
Configuration
Step 1. Create an account in Mux
All you need to set this up is a Mux account. You can sign up for free and pricing is pay-as-you-go. There are no upfront charges, you get billed monthly only for what you use.
Without entering a credit card on your Mux account all videos are in “test mode” which means they are watermarked and clipped to 10 seconds. If you enter a credit card all limitations are lifted and you get $20 of free credit. The free credit should be plenty for you to test out and play around with everything before you are charged.
Step 2. Set up environment variables
Copy the .env.local.example
file in this directory to .env.local
(which will be ignored by Git):
cp .env.local.example .env.local
Then, go to the settings page in your Mux dashboard set each variable on .env.local
, get a new API Access Token and set each variable in .env.local
:
MUX_TOKEN_ID
should be theTOKEN ID
of your new tokenMUX_TOKEN_SECRET
should beTOKEN SECRET
Step 3. Deploy on Vercel
You can deploy this app to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).
To deploy on Vercel, you need to set the environment variables using Vercel CLI (Documentation).
Install the Vercel CLI, log in to your account from the CLI, and run the following commands to add the environment variables. Replace the values with the corresponding strings in .env.local
:
vercel secrets add next_example_mux_token_id <MUX_TOKEN_ID>
vercel secrets add next_example_mux_token_secret <MUX_TOKEN_SECRET>
Then push the project to GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket and import to Vercel to deploy.
