unsure if this is viable using IPFS given the file size?
There is no technical reason why this wouldn't be possible. 4K is somewhat of an arbitrary term which essentially means higher bitrate and higher resolution. The file size the more important thing to consider. IPFS can theoretically support practically unlimited file sizes. Now, the more relevant factors to consider are internet speed/how you will be hosting this data as it would determine the quality of playback for the end user.
That's what I mean by "viable."
Sure, but what I stated above in your reply is related to the infrastructure operating the IPFS nodes, not IPFS itself. Which we are working on ways to incentivize storage and network infrastructure.
Cool, I'm definitely interested in the particulars of that. In the past, my experiences with services using IPFS have been quite mixed — sometimes loading decently, often constantly buffering or unable to load. To be fair, it's been a long while since I've used any such services so I'm hopeful that some of the innovations you're talking about to incentivize storage (as well as even file deletion) could help get us closer to, say, the loading speed of mainstream services such as YouTube.
Yeahhh, I've had a similar experience at times. IPFS only or two a year ago was complete crap compared to now. Luckily it's improved significantly since then.
