Bug ID: 43343
Summary: Move transcoded vIdeos out of thumbs containers
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: TimedMediaHandler

We currently have two main types of containers, "originals" and "thumbs". My
understanding is that uploaded videos got into "originals" and transcoded
variants of those into "thumbs".
Transcoded videos are obviously not original content, however their
characteristics are very different from those of thumbnails: they're on the
opposite end of the file size spectrum and it's not that easy/cheap to just
regenerate them.
This affects various choices that we make and will make on the infrastructure
in the future: whether we should store thumbs in file storage or just cache
them, how many replicas of thumbs we should keep, if we should have a separate
caching layer for videos etc.
My idea was on having a third container type for "videos", for both original
and transcoded content. I suppose could also have two, one for original videos
and one for transcoded videos.
But I don't have a strong opinion on how it should be done. What do people
think?
