2008-01-19 09:37 < devlish> http://ifiwatch.tv/feed
2008-01-19 09:48 < devlish> this simple feed module, like an agregator which uses some thing simple
2008-01-19 09:48 < Invasion> hhhpo
2008-01-19 09:48 < devlish> ekes, it uses some thing which sucks the information out of rss feeds
2008-01-19 09:48 < Invasion> sorry
2008-01-19 09:49 < devlish> Mick"morrey has change the code so when you find the video codec in the link, you can put it in the code
2008-01-19 09:50 < devlish> ekes it uses simple pi and an agreagtor api
2008-01-19 09:50 < devlish> http://drupal.org.node
2008-01-19 09:51 < devlish> Mick I think that is pretty sel explanatory, (everyone laughs)
2008-01-19 09:51 < devlish> agreagatormodue
2008-01-19 09:51 < devlish> sorry
2008-01-19 09:52 < devlish> agragator api
2008-01-19 09:53 < devlish> Mick" what we could really do with, is the ability to agregate other peoples info to display how we want to
2008-01-19 09:54 < devlish> also what it allows people to do, the kind of project Richard is doing with vision ontv
2008-01-19 09:55 < devlish> zoe one of the reason we haven't used the democracy player, is people don't want to down load extra soft ware
2008-01-19 09:56 < devlish> also an issue for people at work, because a lot of work places people can't change software
2008-01-19 09:57 < devlish> zoe I am trying to encourage people to use alternatives to U tube but it is hard
2008-01-19 09:57 < devlish> ekes " there is no point in talking about vague things unless there are implementations to show
2008-01-19 09:58 < devlish> Mick " one implementaion is the film forge project
2008-01-19 09:58 < devlish> http://filmforge.koumbit.net
2008-01-19 10:00 < devlish> mark: you can up load your drupal site, and there down laod all the models
2008-01-19 10:01 < devlish> mick" if you want to use film forge, is good for distribution
2008-01-19 10:01 < devlish> ]Mark " this is just really the first version developed by kubot
2008-01-19 10:02 < devlish> it does not really have a big community around it
2008-01-19 10:02 < devlish> Mick " does it use the indy tube code to embedd videos
2008-01-19 10:03 < devlish> it just uses video, thje way it works it does not have distributed emcoding
2008-01-19 10:03 < devlish> Ekes: this is basically all the indy tube does
2008-01-19 10:04 < devlish> Ekes it doen loads and converts and up loads behing the scenes
2008-01-19 10:04 < devlish> problem with lack of processing power, people have on their lap tops, a lot of processing power they don't use
2008-01-19 10:05 < devlish> so people can watch the contenet that drops in the site and process the video that is up loaded
2008-01-19 10:05 < devlish> Ekes it is a geek thing still, it does not need to be a primary server
2008-01-19 10:06 < devlish> mick: are there any more quesitons that people want to cover in this drupal session
2008-01-19 10:06 < devlish> mark : I've got soemthing to showyou
2008-01-19 10:11 < devlish> Mark I want to about a site called dotwiteness,org
2008-01-19 10:11 < devlish> this is a human rights related video site
2008-01-19 10:11 < devlish> where people can up load video related to human rights violations
2008-01-19 10:12 < devlish> hub.witness.org
2008-01-19 10:12 < devlish> the foundation for the media functionality is the media mover module
2008-01-19 10:12 < devlish> it comes with a colleciton of modles which are plug ins for media mover
2008-01-19 10:13 < devlish> the plug ins are a email plug in that retrieves video fils feom e mail
2008-01-19 10:13 < devlish> so people can send e mail from their phone
2008-01-19 10:13 < devlish> cck plug ins which works with the contenet construciton kit
2008-01-19 10:14 < devlish> storage plug in which is s 3
2008-01-19 10:14 < devlish> so ypu can up load the video
2008-01-19 10:14 < devlish> media mover is an api for developers
2008-01-19 10:15 < devlish> onec you have media mover you don't haveot be a devloper
2008-01-19 10:18 < zoeyoung> install as a ,odule on dupal.org
2008-01-19 10:18 < devlish> how do you install it
2008-01-19 10:18 < zoeyoung> module
2008-01-19 10:18 < zoeyoung> would this allow ppl to uload an mpeg 4 and it be transcorded to flv or ogg? yes
2008-01-19 10:19 < devlish> If you have some complex customs set up you might have to write a plug in for a module
2008-01-19 10:19 < zoeyoung> new file created can be injected into cck field
2008-01-19 10:19 < devlish> hub site may have yet published all code
2008-01-19 10:20 < devlish> media mover is an api
2008-01-19 10:20 < devlish> you hcan really do what you want with it
2008-01-19 10:20 < devlish> ekes another standerd part is it removes hidden info before it appears on the site
2008-01-19 10:21 < devlish> ie hidden files in digital cameras
2008-01-19 10:21 < devlish> mark they have been getting video from burama on the site
2008-01-19 10:21 < devlish> burma
2008-01-19 10:24 < devlish> shozu.com is a bit commercial, but there a lot of people using this service
2008-01-19 10:24 < devlish> They don't own the work, but flicker do
2008-01-19 10:25 < devlish> if you use it to send your work there
2008-01-19 10:25 < devlish> zoe, does it use a hub
2008-01-19 10:25 < devlish> zoe refering to media mover
2008-01-19 10:26 < devlish> if all of your video files are on the same place on your data base then you can use the views module
2008-01-19 10:27 < devlish> tatty refering to destinations shozu.com is using
2008-01-19 10:27 < devlish> mainly main stream news org
2008-01-19 10:28 < devlish> such as bbc etc
2008-01-19 10:29 < devlish> since it is only caching this by passes copyright issues
2008-01-19 10:30 < devlish> Tatty uses it to up load pix, pretty easy to up load on telephoen
2008-01-19 10:30 < devlish> you can delete work later
2008-01-19 10:31 < devlish> mick lets round up that session there
2008-01-19 10:31 < devlish> we can keep the conversation going over the weekend
2008-01-19 10:31 < devlish> mick, how is asset manager different
2008-01-19 10:32 < devlish> ekes in very simple terms if people do know drupal, then everything has been known
2008-01-19 10:32 < devlish> there are cck field which are cool
2008-01-19 10:33 < devlish> amnesty uk paid some one to code there website because they wanted a lot more code on it
