The Media group is the working group for the Drupal 7 File entity module, Media module and all the various modules that extend Media. The Media group is a place for all interested parties to collaborate and discuss anything related to the Drupal Media "ecosystem".
Impromptu DimDim Session about Emfield + Imagecache
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.
Read moreDrupalMedia.org Launched for the Sprint!
As a supplement to the Media group, I launched Drupal Media today to help with the ongoing Media sprint efforts. On its front page, you'll see a map to the next sprint (which is at Mansueto - 7 World Trade Ctr, New York, NY this Friday-Saturday, October 23-24, from 9-5). Tabs are also available for discussions (add your own), videos, and a feed to the Media module issue queue. Please give me any feedback or desired functionality that would be useful for the site. (Including long-term plans for the useful domain, contributed by the good folks at Development Seed.)
Don't forget that you have to pre-register if you plan to come to the sprint, with your full name. Hope to see you there, or at #drupal-media in IRC!

- Token integration.
Remote Streams

- Create table for storage.
- Create hooks for modules to store unique columns.
- Create metadata collection form.
SimpleTests

WYSIWYG Support
- Research the WYSIWYG module to determine how to integrate.
- Create a plan for WYSIWYG integration.
Address of the webstream?
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

I created my first slideshow using the Views/Gallery, and for several days it all worked fine. All of a sudden I noticed that images were no longer rotating. I went back to look at the View (but I knew I hadn't changed anything)...then discovered that it worked fine in IE??
What had changed? I had installed the 'notify' module, and it complained about some js files (which I found and uploaded to the datepicker)...could that somehow have effected things? I'm at a loss,

Fast Private File Transfer using X-send file
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.

Roadmap from D5 to D7
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?
Read moreMonster Media Sprint!
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).
