For AVideo we have 6 different options for storage.

In the same server

1. In the same drive

The more basic one is to store the videos on the same server where you have your platform installed. The videos will be stored inside the videos directory, also the image files and subtitles.

2. In a different drive

You can try to store your videos in an extra drive attached to your server. check this link for more instructions: https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo/wiki/Can-I-store-my-videos-in-another-location%3F

Separated (External) servers

3. YPTStorage

This is our Storage platform https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo-Storage, with this solution you will need to get extra servers, for storage only. the main advantage of this is because you can have servers spread over the world and use their bandwidth to feed the viewers, check this scenario to have a clear understanding of what we offer: https://github.com/WWBN/AVideo-Storage/wiki/Scenario-Description

4. FTP Server

With this plugin you can setup an external server (With FTP) and host your videos there, the requirements for this option are that you will need an FTP service and a web server running on it.
