Mux Video Platform

# Mux Video Integration Guide for Acme Corp's E-Learning Platform

## Overview
This guide outlines the process of integrating Mux Video into Acme Corp's e-learning platform to enable seamless video uploads, transcoding, and playback for course content.

## Prerequisites
- Mux account with Video API access
- API keys: `mux_12345` (upload) and `mux_67890` (playback)
- Video files: `intro.mp4`, `lecture1.mp4`
- Player configuration: `responsive` layout with 16:9 aspect ratio

## Step 1: Set Up Mux Environment
```bash
# Install Mux CLI
npm install -g @mux/mux-cli

# Authenticate with Mux API
mux configure --token-id mux_12345 --token-secret mux_67890
```

## Step 2: Upload and Transcode Videos
```bash
# Upload intro.mp4
mux video upload intro.mp4 --output-url https://stream.mux.com/[VIDEO_ID].m3u8

# Upload lecture1.mp4 with HLS transcoding
mux video upload lecture1.mp4 --preset hls-1080p --output-url https://stream.mux.com/[VIDEO_ID].m3u8
```

## Step 3: Integrate Mux Player
```html
<!-- Add to your course page -->
<div id="mux-player"></div>
<script src="https://cdn.mux.com/player.js"></script>
<script>
  const player = new MuxPlayer('mux-player', {
    src: 'https://stream.mux.com/[VIDEO_ID].m3u8',
    poster: 'https://image.mux.com/[VIDEO_ID]/thumbnail.jpg',
    playbackId: '[PLAYBACK_ID]',
    autoPlay: false,
    muted: true
  });
</script>
```

## Step 4: Optimize Delivery
- Enable adaptive bitrate streaming for better performance
- Implement signed URLs for secure video access
- Set up webhooks for upload completion notifications

## Step 5: Monitor Performance
- Track video engagement metrics in Mux Analytics
- Monitor playback errors and quality issues
- Optimize transcoding settings based on viewer data

## Troubleshooting
- **Error 404**: Verify playback ID and URL structure
- **Buffering issues**: Check network connectivity and CDN settings
- **Transcoding failures**: Review file format compatibility
