I'm adding display formatters to the Media module, and could use some feedback.

Finally, I could involve myself to videoField module development from few days back. Now I'm planing to start some solid development on videoField.

Currently we only have one video type(flv) is supported by videoField and I added many video types like did in video module. See the HEAD for the latest.

We would like to hear some expert voices here before we go for the next release of the videoField. Where we should go and what are the video features we can support?.

My main intention is support real video experience to the Drupal users with the videoField.

FFMPEG doesn’t seem to be working for me which also means Media Mover isn’t working, and apparently hasn’t since DOM were here to do the install, I’ve been sorting other issues so hadn’t looked at it until last week.

ffmpeg was actually at /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg not /usr/bin/ffmpeg but this didn’t resolve the issue; is this because this points to ffmpeg on the webserver and not on the encoder, and if so what should the link be?

Other potentially pertinent info:
I couldn’t find the vhook libraries (so that field on the ffmpeg wrapper page is empty).

I'm going to do a quick, impromptu Dojo session on DimDim about using Embedded Media Field in conjunction with Imagecache. Because I feel like it. Sorry about the short notice; I'll post deets here for interested people who want to know but missed the show... For Drupal 6. Join #drupal-dojo in IRC.

Media API

• Create a workflow diagram.
• Ensure Registration of Media modules works, and is complete. See media_get_registered_modules().
• Convert 'Resources' to 'Streams' to work w/ Stream Wrappers in core.
• Document all hooks for the module.
• Determine continued need/placement for 'Formatters'.
• Continue building Media form (ala Maarten's designs).
• Add thumbnail support for browsing files.
• Convert dbqueries to dbtng.
• Drupal behaviors & AHAH callbacks.
• Create any required images.
• Add default theme options for stream display in browser.

File/Stream Handling

• Handle uploaded files.
• Integrate with FileField.
• Ensure files shared in multiple places aren't deleted unless they are singular.
• Handle shared files/streams.
• Handle streams other than default public/private.
• Token integration.

Remote Streams

• Create YouTube stream wrapper.
• Create Flickr stream wrapper.
• Create Brightcove stream wrapper.

Media Metadata

• Determine continued need/placement for 'Metadata' (and how it fits w/ core RDF).
• Determine if key/value pairs is best way to go forward.
• Create table for storage.
• Create hooks for modules to store unique columns.
• Create metadata collection form.

SimpleTests

• Create simpletests.

Views Integration

• Allow a Views formatter for file browser -- perhaps an administrative dropdown of available views ala quicktabs or panels?

WYSIWYG Support

• Research the WYSIWYG module to determine how to integrate.
• Create a plan for WYSIWYG integration.

Well, I went ahead and installed Station, and entered in all of the shows. I KNOW that somewhere I saw a spot to enter the url of the stream address, but cannot for the life of me find it again?

If I want to record an archive (I installed Audio and enabled the archive) is all I need the url of the stream? As far as I can tell it is http://player.warpradio.com/asx.asp?id=9669 ...does that look right? Anything else I need to enable or do?

Thanks in advance,

Mark

mod_xsendfile

mod_xsendfile is a small Apache2 module that processes X-SENDFILE headers registered by the original output handler.

If it encounters the presence of such header it will discard all output and send the file specified by that header instead using Apache internals including all optimizations like caching-headers and sendfile or mmap if configured.

It is useful for processing script-output of e.g. php, perl or any cgi.

I am on D5 going to D6 by the end of the year. I am assuming that Media is the right answer when I get to D7 and maybe for D6 as soon as it has stable code. Currently I have images, swfs and attachments all over the /files directory - uncontrolled mess as each person has done their own thing. I need a wysiwyg solution as that is what my content editors will tolerate (tinyMCE via wysiwyg module.)

So what should I do now to prepare in a way that things mostly port to D6 and eventually d7? Or should I just tolerate the mess and wait until I am on D6?

Fellow Media Moguls,

We're shaking off the dust from the Media module, which was sadly neglected during the heady Summer of Code, where we got Stream Wrappers into core! I'm excited to meet now with my fellow Drupalistas, and get the module presentable for Drupal 7 (and Drupal 6, if anyone is interested in helping on that front).

We are currently seeking an experienced Drupal developer to start immediately. The project involves moving an existing site to Drupal plus optimizing for SEO, adding new features, and customizing modules. The website already has several thousand pages but requires a complete revamp.

This is a short term contract with the potential for longer term commitments on several ongoing projects.

Location: Los Angeles, California

Type: Contract Job

Requirements:
-Proven experience building and supporting Drupal 6 sites that are feature-rich, optimized for SEO, and with high traffic.
-Solid skills in developing, customizing, and integrating modules.

We are seeking an experienced Drupal developer for a short term contract, with a potential for longer term commitments. This position is needed immediately. You must have proven experience building and supporting feature-rich, high traffic sites on Drupal v6, as well as have solid skills developing and integrating modules.

Required Skills and Competencies:

• Drupal 6 configuration, theme and module development
• Strong PHP/MySQL, CSS, JavaScript and AJAX knowledge
• Ability to implement themes based on wireframes and design comps

Wow, somehow announcing this at gdo slipped off my radar. In any case, if you haven't already heard the good news at Zivtech you might want to know about the Media Sprint planned today and tomorrow in Philly!
