on.video 0.2.2

Overview

This product aims at enabling you to self-host your videos efficiently, not bogging your Plone server down with actual video handling (conversion etc.). Instead, you simply generate small text files telling Plone where to actually find the videos, banner images etc. - see below.

This product adds a “Video” content type with the following features:

• For each video, some metadata, like author and date of recording, are collected.

• The videos themselves are served off the bare file system. The product itself contains only sort of pointers to video files.

• The user should be able to view the file in a number of formats, resolutions etc., and to download the videos.

• Conversion of videos from one format to another is outside the scope of this product.

• Access control to the actual video files is outside the scope of this product. Only the metadata, as defined in this product’s schema, will be workflowed.

• The product will determine, at run time, the available formats for a given video, and offer the user only these for viewing or download.

• The product aims to offer access to said videos for as many client environments as possible.

• The product makes use of flowplayer (www.flowplayer.org).
