Garage:Mediakit

The Mediakit is a video and audio database program.

Description

It works like this :

• Upload of the video and audio files can be done using a FTP account
• When the uploaded file doesn't "move" anymore (I mean when its mtime is older than 1H) it is parsed, moved into a storage folder, and referenced in a MySQL database
• A web interface shows the files, and a search engine allows the web users to find older audio and video files.
• The web interface allows the downloads in any format of the video and audio files
• You can affect a list of timecode and description for each video, that allows you to find a short sequence in any video or audio.
• A cron job is used to compress the video and audio in miscellaneous formats (mp3, ogg, ogv, mp4, flv etc.)
• When accessed using a special hostname, and using a basic http authentication, the web interface shows links to edit the name, description and tags attached to any media, and to edit the tag and taggroup list.

Resources

• The repository is svn://svn.laquadrature.net/mediakit
• It is written in PHP using a MySQL database. The source code is

Roadmap

• Make a homepage, before the "blog view" of items, with boxes (3x2 boxes of 5 items each?) showing the latest media for some predefined tags (hadopi, loppsi, wd12 etc.) or combinations of tags (audio+hadopi, video+hadopi+jz, etc.). Also boxes with predefined items (list of media numbers?). Make an administration interface for the boxes on the home.
• Make a better web interface (html5 or flash automatically) to show the video and audio files, and to show less technical informations.
• Make an iframe widget to allow publishing a media anywhere
• Use some clean html5 display, with Flash fallback (example: http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody)
