## Usage
### Adding Media (Admin)
### Adding Videos (Admin)
1. Go to `admin/add.php`
2. Fill in title, description, duration, sort order, or paste an external URL and click **Fetch Info** to auto-fill readable metadata
3. Upload a thumbnail (JPG/PNG/WebP)
4. Add one or more media sources. Each source can be either:
- an uploaded local video or audio file, stored under `media/videos/`
4. Add one or more video sources. Each source can be either:
- an uploaded local video file, stored under `media/videos/`
- an external URL, stored in SQLite and played as a direct media source or provider embed
5. For uploaded files, supported formats include:
- **MP4** (H.264) — widest compatibility
- **WebM** (VP9) — smaller size, modern browsers
- **OGV** — Firefox fallback (legacy)
- **MP3 / M4A / AAC / WAV / FLAC / OGG / OPUS** — common audio formats
6. Set quality labels (1080p, 720p, 480p, etc.)
7. Save — Video.js will use the stored source location and auto-select the best format the browser supports

When adding an external URL, the admin form can fetch title, description, duration, thumbnail metadata, and readable provider view counts through oEmbed, page metadata, and JSON-LD. The save action repeats the metadata lookup as a fallback, so blank titles can be filled from supported external pages even if the browser autofill was not used.
If no thumbnail image is uploaded, the add/edit forms can auto-grab one from the first supported source. YouTube and Dailymotion use direct thumbnail URLs; Vimeo, Wistia, TikTok, SoundCloud, and Spotify use oEmbed when available. Local uploaded videos can generate a first-frame thumbnail when `ffmpeg` is installed on the server, and local uploaded audio can generate a waveform poster image.
