Use case

Video for marketplaces & creator platforms

Marketplaces and creator platforms let sellers and creators attach video to listings and profiles. rehelios ingests each upload (or imports an existing URL), transcodes it to adaptive HLS, and serves it from the edge, gated to the right audience. Per-gigabyte pricing keeps a long tail of listing videos — most watched rarely — cheap to host, instead of a per-minute charge on a growing catalog.

When to use rehelios for this

Choose rehelios when sellers or creators upload on-demand video to listings, profiles, or storefronts and you want per-GB costs across a large, long-tail catalog. For live shopping or real-time streams, pair a live-streaming provider — rehelios handles the on-demand (VOD) side.

  • On-demand (VOD) product, listing and profile video
  • Import existing seller URLs server-side — no re-upload
  • Signed playback for paid or unlisted content
  • Per-GB pricing fits a large, long-tail catalog

How it works

  1. 1

    Ingest seller video

    Sellers upload from the browser, or you import an existing URL server-side; each file transcodes to adaptive HLS.

  2. 2

    Attach to a listing

    Store the returned id against the listing or profile, and group a seller's clips into a collection.

  3. 3

    Gate by audience

    Keep unlisted or paid content private with signed tokens; embed public listing video with one line of HTML.

  4. 4

    Scale the long tail

    Per-GB billing keeps thousands of rarely-watched listing videos cheap — you pay for real delivery.

Fastest path

One command (or one MCP tool call) gets you started:

shell 
# ingest a seller's listing video, or import one they already host
npx @rehelios/cli import https://seller-cdn/listing-9f2.mp4 --wait
