Delayed video publishing and Plyr integration in UNA 10.

When users upload content with videos, publishing will be delayed until video attachments are available for viewing (converted on-server) to prevent sending notifications and showing content in followers feeds until it is "ready". 

The video is transcoded to MP4 only in 3 resolutions (360p, 480p, 720p). 360p will be automatically chosen in Feeds. 480p and 720p are available on the dedicated page containing this video. More resolutions can be configured with a different approach, so ideas and suggestions are welcome. THis is the first take. 

Also, with the new video player (Plyr) integration, there are new player controls, PIP, speed control and ad-syndication. Plyr is MIT licensed, so there's no additional liability. 

Support for other video players integration is now also possible UNA.

    • Sounds awesome. I would like to also see 1080p resolution and 4k resolution options for a Vimeo like experience and we can charge professional filmmakers for more space using permissions and make it a video hosting solution. 1080p and 4k are the most important especially for the viewers watching on their smart TVs.

      • With options to disable the resolutions that we don't need so we only need one mp4 file per video if we choose to save space.

          • Great!

            • Slightly off topic but does UNA support live streaming for users?

              • Awesome integration 

                • Great, it's progressing well now.

                  • Great, good feature for social media managers inside communities. Do you know when the una 10 will be available. And espacially when we will  be able to have mobile apps? 

                    • How about a change to the upload process as well so that when a video is uploaded the user gets a screen that is a thumbnail or says - "Successfully Uploaded" or really anything other than the 3 dots on a blank screen, which to our users looks a lot like the universal screen for "something is missing."   If you upload  on other platforms it's very straightforward and clear what is going on.  On UNA it's a mystery.

                      This seems like a simple fix.
