Video

The 2006, with the explosions of huge video based community websites such as Youtube, has shown how video contents are becoming one of the most direct and cool to use web communication approach.

Drupal, as a leading open source content management platform, absolutely needs a good and globally accepted video content approach.

This group aims to get ideas and coordinating efforts between the different people involved in the video content development. The goal is to provide drupal with an easy, powerful and extensible support for videos.

Video module 7.x-2.1-alpha2, what you should know?

Posted by hypertext200 on September 14, 2011 at 4:30am

Original post : http://heididev.com/video-module-7x-2x-what-you-should-know

I released video module 7.x-2.1-alpha2 version on 11th of Sep. This major version completely redesign the video module and its core, I'm the only one worked on this release and seems our co-maintainers (6.x) had no time to contribute code to the 7.x yet. I'm very very happy about the progress of downloading and using video module. It has over 10,500+ usage now.

In this article I'm going to examine some new features added to the video module.

Posted by hypertext200 on December 4, 2010 at 11:41am

On Dec 4th I released an enhanced video module build with many new features. Specially now its supporting HTML5 videos on Drupal sites. Not only they we added number of new enhancements to the module to improve the user experience and many other aspects.

Here are the list of new features and would like to get more user inputs to improve the usability of the module.

I've recently finished a big video project, hoping to be the next big YouTube. I'm hoping they are too. In the process I encountered a host of different challenges as you do with any new project. I thought I'd share some of the critical success variables back with the community. Hopefully, I'll help you avoid some of the growing pains I suffered through.

Media Sprint in NYC a Success!

Posted by aaron on November 10, 2009 at 3:57pm

The Media Sprint in late October was amazing! Jody and Maarten hunkered in one corner and bashed out the UI, while Peter and Darrel worked out some of the FileField integration. Meanwhile Arthur whipped out a File Metadata implementation, and I began teasing the existing work out of Drupal 6 and into Drupal 7.

Also in the fray were Jonathan, Forest, Rob, Oleg, and Jen, who participated in varying degrees. Jen also took the opportunity to begin a cool new core theme for Drupal 7, and with Darrel's help took some time to give us a pre-fab image field with core articles! W00T!

The sprint was an amazing success. The module actually works now, as evidenced by Arthur's demonstration screencast. After installing Media, you can actually browse your file system in the administrative screen, with lovely thumbnails representing the file objects. The same action is also available when uploading a new file.

In the past couple of weeks, we've also made strides towards implementing remote streams, with the Media: YouTube module almost ready for unveiling.

videoField module with many video formats

Posted by hypertext200 on November 10, 2009 at 5:50am

Finally, I could involve myself to videoField module development from few days back. Now I'm planing to start some solid development on videoField.

Currently we only have one video type(flv) is supported by videoField and I added many video types like did in video module. See the HEAD for the latest.

We would like to hear some expert voices here before we go for the next release of the videoField. Where we should go and what are the video features we can support?.

My main intention is support real video experience to the Drupal users with the videoField.

Recommendation for multilingual, user contributed video site

Posted by carole on October 24, 2009 at 8:09pm

Last time I created a user-contributed video module, it was pretty complex. I had to learn about FFMPEG, find a shared host that supported it, test various media players, choose alternates when my modules/players weren't ready for deployment, and I hobbled together a basic beta site.

Now I want to upgrade to the latest/greatest tools out there. Blue Droplet Video looks great, I'm going to test it. It's in dev - any issues with that for a public site, current users?

Is there anything else I should consider?

ffmpeg with metadata using flvtool2

Posted by sadist on October 23, 2009 at 9:42am

I desperately need a module/patch or any other solutions that are able to help me converting and injecting metadata into the flv files. using ffmpeg_converter.module that requires ffmpeg_wrapper.module to do the job, I like how thin and easy both modules are.

according to my own research, there's only flvtool2 to do the work. i only need to insert an additional command to the ffmpeg command line when converting the file. e.g.
ffmpeg -i %in_file -ar 64 -ab 44.1 -f flv -s 704×576 – | flvtool2 -U stdin %out_file

DrupalMedia.org Launched for the Sprint!

Posted by aaron on October 19, 2009 at 9:33pm

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!

Revised Media Roadmap for Sprint Oct 23-24

Posted by aaron on October 17, 2009 at 12:08am

Media API

Create a workflow diagram.
Ensure Registration of Media modules works, and is complete. See media_get_registered_modules().
Convert 'Resources' to 'Streams' to work w/ Stream Wrappers in core.
Document all hooks for the module.
Determine continued need/placement for 'Formatters'.
Continue building Media form (ala Maarten's designs).
Add thumbnail support for browsing files.
Convert dbqueries to dbtng.
Drupal behaviors & AHAH callbacks.
Create any required images.
Add default theme options for stream display in browser.

File/Stream Handling

Handle uploaded files.
Integrate with FileField.
Ensure files shared in multiple places aren't deleted unless they are singular.
Handle shared files/streams.
Handle streams other than default public/private.
Token integration.

Remote Streams

Create YouTube stream wrapper.
Create Flickr stream wrapper.
Create Brightcove stream wrapper.

Media Metadata

Determine continued need/placement for 'Metadata' (and how it fits w/ core RDF).
Determine if key/value pairs is best way to go forward.
Create table for storage.
Create hooks for modules to store unique columns.
Create metadata collection form.

SimpleTests

Create simpletests.

Views Integration

Allow a Views formatter for file browser -- perhaps an administrative dropdown of available views ala quicktabs or panels?

WYSIWYG Support

Research the WYSIWYG module to determine how to integrate.
Create a plan for WYSIWYG integration.

3rd Party, User Generated Video Gallery?

Posted by glass.dimly on October 9, 2009 at 5:07pm

Hey all,

I'd like random users to be able to publish a video to youtube, blip, or whatever other service, and then we'd suck those videos into video galleries on our site.

What service should I use for that, and how would I have folks tag or sort their information so that we could grab it and create galleries in the same way I'd use emfield to suck in Flickr galleries or something.

Best practices for YouTube API integration

Posted by TomDude48 on September 28, 2009 at 3:16pm

I am looking for some best practices advice. I am building a module that processes machine tags. I am integrating it in with FeedAPI and FeedAPI Mapper. My two primary feeds I want to get machine tags from are Flickr and YouTube. Unfortunately for both services I have not found a way to get well formatted tags via their RSS feed. So I am resorting to getting the media id from the feed then using an API call to get the machine tags.

Fast Private File Transfer using X-send file

Posted by hypertext200 on September 23, 2009 at 4:45am

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.
