Mux

Mux is a Storage integration for hosting and streaming your videos. Connect your Mux account to upload, import, and play assets directly through Ink Player.

Settings

Open the Manage screen from the Mux card. Its settings are split across two tabs.

API Access

Enter your Mux credentials:

• Token ID
• Token Secret
• Signing Key ID
• Signing Private Key

Advanced

• Video quality — basic, plus, or premium.
• Default playback policy — public or signed.
• Normalize audio — even out loudness across your videos.
• Auto-generate captions — automatically create captions, with a selectable caption language.

Connecting Mux

1. Go to Settings → Integrations and enable Mux (Storage category).
2. Click Manage to open the Mux settings.
3. On the API Access tab, enter your Token ID, Token Secret, Signing Key ID, and Signing Private Key.
4. On the Advanced tab, choose your default video quality, playback policy, and caption options.
5. Click Test connection to verify your credentials.
6. Save your settings.

Playback policies

Every Mux asset is played under one of two policies:

• Public — anyone with the URL can play the video.
• Signed — Ink Player generates an expiring, unforgeable RS256 JWT-signed URL.

WARNING

Signed playback protects the stream URL — the link is unforgeable and expires — but it does not by itself stop a logged-in viewer from sharing a link while it is still valid.

A public Mux video placed on a gated page is gated at the page, but its URL remains reachable to anyone who has it. Choose signed when you need the stream URL itself to be protected.

Adding Mux media

When you add media, the Mux picker lets you:

• Choose from existing assets in your Mux account.
• Upload directly using chunked upload.
• Import by URL.
• Filter items by public vs signed.

The selected asset is added to your Media library.
