Yes, video tag has controls attributes.
No, loading more needs to be triggered…

In case you are still struggling with this problem, you can add several plug Plug.Static closes to the endpoint file to correspond different locations on your file system and configure your directories in config file.
For example, like this:
plug Plug.Static,
at: "/uploads", from: Application.get_env(:my_app, : uploads_dir) |> Path.expand(), gzip: false
plug Plug.Static,
at: "/other_uploads", from: Application.get_env(:my_app, : other_uploads_dir) |> Path.expand(), gzip: false
As for the browser part of the question, video tag has event “ended”, you can start playing next video using a callback for this event.
Like this:
document.querySelector('.my-video').addEventListener('ended', function(ev) {playNextVideo();});
function playNextVideo() {/* here is the logic to start next video */}

I have the suspicion that you all get the question wrong.
If I understand @smolcatgirl correctly, she wants true video streaming.
What send_file or Plug.Static do is to send the whole video file to the browser.
So she wants partial video streaming. Like buffering x amount of seconds ahead of current playtime or if the user starts the video from the middle, don’t even load the first half.
I can’t give an answer for how to do this but I hope someone else might have an idea.

Well this article is outdated but have very useful information: https://medium.com/@miguel.coba/streaming-video-with-phoenix-31cd6c3048e . Not hard to make it work with the lastest version of Phoenix.
But the problem when you want to stream videos is to allow different qualities/bitrate depending on bandwidth and/or device screen-size/performance.
