Is anyone using Amazon S3 to hold their sermon files that can use the swftools 1pixeloutplayer? What is the site recipe to get it working?

Combo #01
I have tried embedded media field using the Media: audio flotsam module with swftools for the 1pixeloutplayer on a custom content type. With this method I get fatal error. Issue http://drupal.org/node/971464

Combo #02
swftools using the 1pixeloutplayer and the media mover module to move the files to S3 bucket after uploading them to the sites host. Then media mover moves the file to where it should be on S3 the 1pixeloutplayer shows with the download link to the bucket but when hit play it says something like error in finding file.

Ok on Combo #01 under "Site configuration / SWF Tools / File handling" I selected File locations and under Media directory url is says:

This helps swftools identify the server where your media files are located. You cannot change it here, as changing it has the potential to break existing content. You can set this on the $conf array in your settings.php file. For example:

$conf = array(
'swftools_media_url' => 'http://anothersite.com/media', // No trailing slashes!
);"

Note the "No trailing slashes!" comment, well i had a trailing slash and that is why it did not work

I got the whole thing working with SWF Tools and SWF Link Modules.

I'm doing this.

I posted a Feature that puts the Podcast content type and most of the necessary configuration together at http://features.nerdhaus.net/node/1 -- it uses the Link content type rather than the File, and simply lets you point to an external URL, whether it's on S3 or your local server. It's not perfect but it's definitely a starting point if you want to do something quick and relatively painless.

Hey Jeff,

Thanks for your link and info. I've been a little hesitant to switch to Feeds. Will this method work with Feedapi?
