channelAustin has been using a proprietary software tool called Content Agent to encode .mov files to the MPEG2 format required for playback on our Synergy Broadcast system. Content Agent in our work flow has been previously discussed. See http://groups.drupal.org/node/19135

We also decided some time ago to use Content Agent to encode H.264 files for VOD on the web with the OM Show module. And so we added an H.264 encode process to the workflow. We've now decided to stop doing that.

Howdy,

When YouTube allowed for uploading of content longer than 15 minutes we decided to migrate our web TV content to YouTube. It's cheaper (free actually) than storing the flv/h264/WebM files on your own server (or Amazon S3 as we used to) and YouTube does the conversion.

channelAustin staff member Stefan Wray attended DrupalCamp Austin on November 20 and 21 (http://2010.drupalcampaustin.org/) held at UT's AT&T Conference Center and delivered a 1 hour presentation on the Open Media Project (http://2010.drupalcampaustin.org/sessions/open-media-project) to about 40 people. He covered channelAustin's background, progress, and implementation of the project, specifically describing and demonstrating the different Drupal modules that had been developed with a focus on MERCI (Manage Equipment Reservations, Checkout and Inventory).

I've been having some occasional trouble where my site slows to a crawl.

Does anyone have any best practices for optimizing Drupal on lower memory configurations.

This morning I noticed that my site when accessed through http was slow to crawl. Couldn't get in or do anything.

When I finally got in and took a look at the Drupal Reports there was an Error related to the refactored feed from our Telvue:

Message simplexml_load_file(): http://173.76.78.19:3000/thu in /var/www/dev.eastoncat.org/sites/all/modules/om_airing/modules/om_airing_feed/om_airing_feed.module on line 59.

We must have hundreds and hundreds of these messages in a very short period of time last night.

Is this slowing my site performance to a crawl?

I've aggregated content related to the Open Media Project and CiviCRM from several sources (GDO, openmediaproject.org, blip.tv, DOM) and compiled it in list form here. This content deals with integrating CiviCRM and MERCI, establishing CiviEvents for classes, as well importing Facil data. My reason for doing this is because I completed importing data into MERCI, and am looking to re-import user data and focus attention on the CiviCRM side of things. I started looked at all these resources independently and realized it be good if they were all on one page.

DrupalCon has just started and this has already been a very productive trip. When we first arrived in Europe, I met with Oliver Gibson from the Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisation. GMCVO is funding some MERCI development that will improve the integration with MERCI make it much easier to use MERCI as a staff driven solution. After a few days of sight seeing in London, we were off to Vaxjo, Sweden to work with Daniel Westergren on adapting the Open Media modules for his hosted environment. To do, we needed 2 things.
