Dear,
I would like to ask for some help regarding the topic mentioned in the title. My objective is to record a video through a webcam and pass it somehow to the Video module and create a Video node out of it. I can already upload videos to the module and transcode it through Zencoder and I'm already solved the recording part with the "Media: Webcam" module (https://drupal.org/project/media_webcam) but I don't know how to connect those two and pass the recorded video to the Video module.
Can you help me with this?
Thank you,
Alex

Okay it seems to be solved with this small hack:
function webcam_video_converter_node_presave($node) {if ($node->type = 'webcam') {
$node->type = 'video';
$node->field_video['und'][0] = array_merge($node->field_webcam['und'][0], array(
'display' => 1,
'dimensions' => '1280x720',
'convert_video_on_save' => 1,
'bypass_autoconversion' => 0,
'use_default_video_thumb' => 0,
'conversionstatus' => NULL,
'thumbnail' => 0,
));
}
}
If you have a better solution, please inform me :)
