[xwiki-users] video streaming
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 -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team
Hi Ricardo, I think you just need a streaming server installed somewhere... but then I'm not an expert on this. Thanks -Vincent On Apr 27, 2008, at 9:29 AM, [Ricardo Rodriguez] Your EPEC Network ICT Team wrote:

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 -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team
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:

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=background:DEDEDE;glow:FFFFFF;foreground:333333;special:FFC300;&related=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/x4xfsj&v3=1&colors=background:DEDEDE;glow:FFF..." type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="520" height="411" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always"></embed></object> Your insight about this issue is most than welcome!!!
