flv

I'd like to begin this group by opening up to the Drupal community and ask for your opinions on what direction we should head and in what areas we need to focus on.

As mentioned in the mission statement, I want the DVS Group to be able to work with current modules and their maintainers so that we can accomplish this using the contributions that already exist! I actually would like to see any developers out their that are willing to lend a hand on this joining in on this conversation.

Running on something like 10 hours trying to figure this out...I'd appreciate if some people could weigh in and we could give a current state-of-the-art in terms of process or strategy for embedding both Flash SWFs and FLVs inline for nodes. I'll try and compile the info into this post as it's laid out.

Hola a todos,

Estoy preparando un proyecto de una web para un show televisivo. Los videos estarán en FLV, estarán onsite y será el personal del show quien subirá los FLVs, por ello no podré utilizar el cck emfield (que pena). Revise un poco la documentación y vi un par de módulos interesantes entre los cuales:

Flv media player con JW FLV Media Player (http://drupal.org/project/flvmediaplayer)
Flowplayer (http://drupal.org/project/flowplayer)
Video (http://drupal.org/project/video)
Flashvideo (http://drupal.org/project/flashvideo)

Howdy.

I just wanted to alert people who are interested in doing video/media work on Drupal that I've finally had the time to put together some of the tie-ins that make it possible to create some pretty remarkable video functionality. Using media_mover to do transcoding of uploaded videos, xspf_playlist to build dynamic playlists, and flvmediaplayer to render the player, we can now have a video player which not only plays user uploaded content, but can both recommend content based on a views or play a list of content generated by a view. FLV Media Player will let you take the player and embed it in a page off site if desired. Further, you can use a dynamic configuration file for the player which allows you to alter the appearance and behavior of embedded players already deployed in the field.

Hi Drupalers,

Rob & I created a full flash solution in conjunction with Drupal as the backend.
We thought it would be cool to share this with you guys.

The application is fully flash and includes a photogallery & videogallery.
You could use it to start your online media broadcasting system alongside catchy graphics.

To view the flash frontend: Media Center (mc)
To view the drupal backend: Media Center (mc) Backend

We have set up some bounties to help finance the development of OpenPackage Video. Each feature has an amount that must be raised before it will be implemented. We use the ChipIn system to manage donations. If you would like to contribute to the development of one of the features you can donate through its ChipIn widget.

op_video-5.x-2.1 is now available from http://openpackage.biz/.

The main highlight of this release is that it is now backward compatible with mysql 3.23 and php 4.3.3 in line with drupal 5 core and also now works with db table prefixes. If you have had problems before, please give this release a try.

Other changes:
'max duration' transcoding parameter
JW FLV Player must be downloaded separately and decompressed in the op_video directory
other random bug fixes

op_video-5.x-2.0.tar.gz is now available from OpenPackage.biz.

Highlights of this release are:

Local FFmpeg transcoding

For videos to be viewed in-browser, they must be transcoded to FLV format. In addition to the existing method of transfering videos to OpenPackage.biz for transcoding, videos can now be transcoded using a local installation of FFmpeg.

There are a number of solutions available to get an FLV video solution where users upload an AVI movie directly within a node, the system converts it to FLV, and then displays it within the node. It seems that the best solutions are: Video, Embedded Media Field, FlashVideo, Media Mover and SWFTools, and OpenPackage. Unfortunately every solution I mentioned here has a few flaws.....
