VIDEO UPDATE 3.0
🕑 Added 2020-03-16 17:50:54 +0000 UTCVimeo decided to terminate my account, so looking into alternative video source. Sorry for the trouble the videos will be back soon!
UPDATE1: I am in the process of creating a new server where I will put the videos on Amazon AWS and will then put them onto a WordPress website that will let people login using their credentials and then see the videos they have access to. Losing Vimeo was a huge blow to me and my workflow and have been panicking trying to figure out a solution and I got one just implementing it now.
UPDATE2: More progress on the new site! I got all the basics setup and it's almost ready for prime time! Check it out at https://bigmaxwolf.com/
UPDATE3: Fixed logins today for Patreon on custom site since that was acting funny it should work now as intended. Now that I have transcoding and basics setup I am enabling HLS v4 playback which should allow mobile devices like iPhones and Androids to play the videos also instead of only desktop clients.
Last big piece of news today is Patreon won't let me edit the existing posts it sits there and times out so I am probably going to have to delete all my video posts and redo them so new people won't get that "VIDEO NOT AVAILABLE" and realize they have moved to new place in the comments (terrible user experience anybody?!). So if you all get about 23+ emails from me and Patreon know that I wish they would let me turn that off when I make a post but I cannot. Love you all and thanks for your advice and help to get me back up on my foot paws!

I got a fix in now it should let you login and will stay logged in now!
Maxwolf
Yeah for sure I will look into that today for you!

Hey, do you think you could make the website remember the Patreon login for a while? RN I have to log in every time and it's a bit annoying 🙂

I was looking into that earlier today but I do t want the links shared or have to deal with setting them to expire. Having a site to stream the content using patreon API to determine access levels seemed like long term solution to me
Mega might be a good alternative option

Oh no, hope you can find another platform easily ..
Maxwolf
Guess you could say Max outgrew their terms of service ;)
Last one got a bit too spicy for them, huh?
Maxwolf
Thanks for the suggestion it helps for sure! Looking at lots of options right now
If it helps. I know some people use Google Docs for public sharing
