Hi all,
Could it be possible/has anybody considered this option to stream video
from XWiki? I mean, once a short spot is attached to a XWiki document,
add video streaming capability?
I guess this depends more upon the servlet container features than on
XWiki by itself, but it will be great if anybody had this idea... and
solved it :-)
Thanks for your help,
Ricardo

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

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,

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 :-)

I am afraid I have some problem at getting concepts... :-( Please,
correct me if I am wrong!
I can easily sent a URL to a freely accessible XWiki Attachment. The way
this video will display in the target computer will depend on the
software the "client" has installed.
But if I want to allow any remote user to use a web browser to reproduce
a video stored in a XWiki document without requiring that the video is
completely download to the target, I need some sort of magic in the server.

I've been looking at "Présentation vidéo des droits d’accès dans XWiki
Enterprise", but as far as I understand the movie is...
http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x4xfsj&v3=1
And this is not a XWiki document, is it? Here the code you have proposed
for further reference:
<object width="520" height="411"><param
name="movie"
value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x4xfsj&v3=1&colors=backg…
name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param
name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed
src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x4xfsj&v3=1&colors=backgro…
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="520"
height="411"
allowFullScreen="true"
allowScriptAccess="always"></embed></object>
Your insight about this issue is most than welcome!!!
Cheers,
Ricardo
