hello
I'm working for www.netgaming.tv a french webtv, and they often have dozens of pictures , and a few videos also, to upload about some famous tournament, lanparty etc. I call them 'events'. I want to create a new content type like this :
- event_title
- event_body
- event_image
- event_album-video (your player with a playlist aside including all videos about this events)
- event_album-photo (your player with an images carrousel instead of videos, if it is possible...)

I'm facing 2 kind of issues :

1) I cannot ask the photographs to create one image_node with 1 title + 1 upload per image. The smallest 50$ camera comes with an 8 Go memory, and my guys are heavily armed, so they are pretty shooting... How would you manage this ?
Is there a module which can help? Or should a need to code one ?

My problem is partly due to my poor understanding of how to manage the relationships between nodes (album/tracks etc.) in D7. I mean : when I will be able, with some module to create relations, I'll end with an album embedding pictures, or videos. But how to link it to my 'event' type? With a new relation? Is it possible that we still cannot put a content type into another one natively in D7 ?

2 -
I'm completely stuck in building playlist with views, in D7.

I cannot see or grab your playlist view as I cannot use drush_make (where to put drush_make folder as I cannot create a folder named .drush in XP. I've tried also in drush/commands in vain.
I cannot find any specific doc for D7 on the site.
I dont know which fields I'm supposed to put in my playlist view. I've tried everything : my block keep on rolling : I dont see anything in it I've added in the view:
- no title
- no video_image
I've then added
- video_upload
- video_player
Nothing.
Could you give us a short tuto on how build this darn view in D7, which is pretty well hidden indeed!

thx for helping, but I've seen it twice time, and it remains at least the impossibility to get your mysterious View...
Would you help us? Which fields are in it ?
1)Should we add the video and the image in the view ? Is it the image on what you click in the list ?

2) how would you manage the migration of +1000 old videos of my client under his new Drupal 7 website? They cannot create them one by one. And I think the question is more general. The only reason that would prevent some end user to put all his videos on his website is precisely the tiring burden of NAMING them. Whatever kind of media it is. After the 50 first images on your first blog you type anything on your keyboard, then hit a comma or smth which doesnt fit for naming convention, etc, and you give up populate your blog! Definitly .
You know, generally, you, me, keep our videos into a folder ! Their name is often Picture456.mov or smth similar. We cope with it... Generally, after transfer on our computers, the size is the only element we have to sniff content : i've shoot 450Mo ? mmm about 10mn, oh! I remember it's in the garden. 10 Mo? A try. etc. We dont need thumbnails then. And dont have generally.

In Zenphoto, we only ftp the images and that's done. Is there a possibility to simply PLUG mediafront on a folder, which in turn would be seen as a list in Mediafront, without any thumbnail of course ? Or another turnaround ? Or do you think it involves new module dev ?

My recommendation would be to look into Views and see if it can help you with your needs. This is a very specific request. If you still have problems, please open a new issue.
