Video processing
Hi I need to transcode a mp4 into mp3 to get the audio from a video, but since convex is serverless, dont have access to file system, and convex functions are on the cloud so they dont have access to my localhost either, are there any solutions for this?
```javascript
export async function extractAudioFromVideo(...
Serializing/deserializing `Request`/`Response` objects in HTTP action
I'm trying to integrate Effect's HTTP API library (it's like Hono, basically) with my Convex HTTP API, but (until someone adds a Convex platform for
@effect/platform 🙂) doing so requires me to run the HTTP endpoint handlers in a Node runtime. I'm at the point where I have a function (request: Request) => Response, but if I can't run the handler directly in the HTTP action, maybe I could serialize/deserialize the Request/Response objects? I'm curious whether this has come up before, and...Use cases for using Tanstack Query and Convex together?
I am very new to Convex so please excuse me if this is a totally obvious question as I'm trying to wrap my head around how to structure my app as I move it over to using Convex.
I used Tanstack heavily for a while and the primary reason why I switched over to Convex is because I was a bit tired of managing the cache and making sure everything is real time in my highly reactive app. I've been loving Convex so far because it reduces that processes to just two steps (query -> mutation) and adding new features has become faster.
I do love Tanstack query but I felt that convex could really replace most of my use cases for it. I hope this gives you a bit of a background of where I'm coming from.

Bug: Console missing CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY
Hi, I am reviewing a live production Convex app and I notice the console's "Production Deployment Settings" is not showing my CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY. The app is running in Vercel, so I must have generated it in the past.
I am referring to:
https://docs.convex.dev/production/hosting/vercel

Make phone provider a valid credentials provider
Currently if a user wants to sign in using account id and password that were created using phone provider the backend returns an error: "Uncaught Error: Provider phone is not a credentials provider", which I understand considering that there is initially no password set.
However one (like me :)) could implement a flow where
secret (password) is set retrospectively and thus a phone provider could also be used for credentials, but perhaps only when secret field is actually populated.
Is something like that to be expected in the future?
Thanks....Buffered queue race
Objective: Concatenate incoming messages and process them 5 seconds after the last message is received.
Solution: Check if a "processing" task is already scheduled. If so, cancel the existing task, concatenate the new message, and reschedule the task.
Expectation: Convex should internally handle race conditions in the scheduler, ensuring that no more than one processing task is ever scheduled at a time....
Verifying JWS Signed Payload in Convex httpAction
I am currently working on verifying an Apple App Store notification's signed payload using a public key within a Convex httpAction. Below is a snippet of the code I am using:

Convex-auth with solid or other non-react frameworks
Is there a reccomended way to set up convex-auth for frameworks other than react?
I've gotten pretty far with solid js by just calling the signIn/signOut actions from convexAuth() from @convex-dev/auth/server.
I can successfully retrieve the auth token but I can't seem to get convex to recognize the user as signed in....
YouTube video watch party design
I have a use case of integrating with the YouTube player iframe API, so that there can be a watch party of multiple users watching the same YouTube video (w/ the video playing at the playing time for all watchers).
How would I design a situation like this?
What I'm currently thinking is writing the currentPlayingTime to the Convex database every time someone clicks somewhere on the playing bar. Alternatively, I could choose some repeating write logic, e.g. write the current playtime every second or so, but that would cause the video to have a skipping effect since YouTube API can only play to the nearest second....
Are there any examples of best security practices for implementing role-based access control (RBAC)
Are there any examples of best security practices for implementing role-based access control (RBAC) when making requests in a Next.js application using Clerk for authentication and Convex as the backend? Specifically, how should server-side validation be approached?
Problems with the MGMT Example Project (Templates)

Can we add custom domain to dev convex deployment?
Currently it seems like we can add custom domain only to prod deployments. Are there any plans to extend that to dev deployments as well?

Filter context menu shortcuts not working
For example, if I right click a cell and select filter by > equals "<value>", the filter that's added is "equals
null". Even if I select a different option from the context menu, such as greater than, the resulting filter is always "equals null".How to store tree-like data?
I want to implement something like Git, where you have a tree-structure of revisions.
- Every revision has a hash (it's id)
- Every revision has a parent revision (null for the root)
- Every revision may have children revisions (like branching)

Is there a way to use Password + Phone providers for authentication?
I have successfully implemented the Phone provider in my app, but after successful verification of the phone number I would like that a user can define a password for signing in to the app. So it would be a combination of a phone number + password.
I know that Password provider can work together with an Email provider (i.e. Resend), which essentially accomplishes what I want to achieve, but it's using an email instead of a phone a channel.
Any solution in this regard would be acceptable, so that a user doesn't need to verify an OTP via phone number would be acceptable....
