Hi Ricardo, if you want to display video files stored as XWiki Attachments you don't really need a streaming solution, do you ? If what you want to be able to do is to display video stored in attachment within wiki pages, the easiest thing to do is to embed a flash video player or a quicktime, vlc, whatever plugin in the page, passing it the URL of your file, you can do it quite easily. There's examples of this on some articles @ http://blog.xwiki.com -> if that's what you meant I'll post an entry on XWiki.org to explain how it works. If not, well, someone else will have to come up with an answer :-) Guillaume On Sun, Apr 27, 2008 at 10:11 AM, [Ricardo Rodriguez] Your EPEC Network ICT Team <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi Ricardo,
I think you just need a streaming server installed somewhere... but then I'm not an expert on this.
Thanks -Vincent

Neither am I! By googling and searchmashing for a solution I arrived to VLC. We extensively use this solution as a client, but never used it as a server. As I can read in its website "VLC is able to stream all that it can read", so I guess that it can be possible to pass XWiki attachements' URLs to VLC acting a as server and it will take care of them. My main doubt now: how could I pass authentication data in the URL to VLC when dealing with restricted access spots? My expectancies for the coming summer are increasing quickly! :-)
Any insight will be mostly welcome!
By the way: they have 14 GSoC assigned this year! We have to catch up! :-)
Cheers,
Ricardo
