Description

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a video module available for 6.2 yet?

Is there another module that does the same thing for 6.2?

Thanks,

Sarah

Also looking forward to a D6 port.

I don't see a lot of progress on this great module.
It would be really nice to see a 6.0 version soon and when is there a final 5 version?
(I'm still using a beta 5 version on a production site, and it works fine) :-)

Hi!

I'm also using this module, and longing for a D6 port too.

Sarah, there is the flashvideo module that is very similar to this one, and I think it already has a dev version to D6...

Regards,
Carlos.

Is there any upgrading to Drupal 6 in progress?
This is a requirement for me to go to update my site. :-(

I'm working on migrating from the video module to filefield (plus jQuery Media, based on this screencast) so that I can have an upgrade path to Drupal 6. I need help completing the video-to-filefield migration script as my coding skills are rather weak. If you want to tune in and help out I am confident this is a decent replacement for the video module:

I fear that mine is weaker. I would help but don't know how.

I'm looking for a long term solution. I would like to minimize the number of modules I use as it is always a lot of work to check every modules when going from a Drupal release to the next one. I started with 4.7. Going to 5 was long. Going to 6 is longer. Is Filefield will be a long term module as CCk seems to be? That is the modules I use, 27 with 15 compulsory (sic):

We should move this discussion to filefield but here are my quick thoughts.

One of the troubles with the video module is that it does so many things that its actually very difficult to maintain and port upwards. A good trend to follow is making smaller modules that do more narrow tasks and using combinations of narrow modules to get jobs done. Even though there are more modules installed on your site they are each fantastically simpler to upgrade.

Filefield has a narrow scope, it just handles files, but it does it really really well. Once you get file management secure, you can choose your playback module of choice. The author of filefield is also a propellant factor in getting the file hook into Drupal core, so I think this one is around to stay.
