BitMovin

BitMovin is a cloud service that helps turn regular videos into streaming ones that play smoothly on phones, TVs, and computers. It takes your video files, chops them into small pieces, and creates different quality versions so viewers never have to wait for buffering. It uses S3-compatible object storage as a giant, reliable digital warehouse to keep all those video pieces safe and instantly available. When someone hits play, BitMovin grabs the right pieces from S3 storage and sends them quickly to match the person's internet speed. This combination means you can deliver high-quality video to thousands of viewers at once without buying expensive servers or worrying about storage limits.

Connect BitMovin to DiskSpace.sh (S3-compatible Storage)

DiskSpace.sh provides fully S3 API compatible storage. Follow the steps below to configure your BitMovin integration using path-style requests.

Connection Steps
  1. Log in to your BitMovin dashboard and navigate to the S3 output configuration section.
  2. Select "Custom S3" or "S3 Compatible Storage" as the provider.
  3. Enter the following credentials and settings:
Endpoint URL
Required. Use this exact endpoint.
Access Key
Provided by DiskSpace.sh
Secret Key
Provided by DiskSpace.sh
Region: Leave empty or set to us-east-1
Important: Path-Style Requests
DiskSpace.sh requires path-style URLs.
BitMovin must be configured to use path-style addressing (not virtual-hosted style).
Example Path-Style URL:
https://s3.diskspace.sh/bucket-name/path/to/file.mp4
Troubleshooting
  • Ensure "Force Path Style" or "Path Style Access" is enabled in BitMovin settings.
  • Verify your Access Key and Secret Key are correct and have sufficient permissions.
  • If connection fails, try setting Region to us-east-1.
  • Check that your Endpoint URL does not contain a trailing slash.
  • Confirm your bucket name is correctly entered without additional slashes.
