creating module for audio/video comments with flex, amfphp, services and Red5

scarer - July 31, 2008 - 00:19

Hi,

I am currently creating a module based off the riffly module and other code that allows users to create audio and video comments on a drupal site.

Has anyone else done this?

I am using flex to build the interface that writes to the Red5 server. I am using a flash media player to play the media back. At the moment I only have it creating a custom content type through a flex front-end that writes this content type to the drupal database.

Any hlep or tips would be great. I have been searching everywhere!

Thanks,

Sarah

should it be built based off riffly?

I'm just wondering, should it be built based off Riffly? Or should I be looking through the API? I want to add a flex app to a comment entry section and attach a flv to a comment - or at least a reference to a flv...

I'm thinking I should probably tie it in more with the Drupal API and the data stored in Drupal?

I will maybe get the module to create a new table for flexRecord comments that stores a reference to the comment that it each flv is attached to. And then the reference to the flv can be stored in the table and retrieved from the stored location on the Red5 server.

? Anybody?

Drupal and Flex Video App

Hi, glad to know your job, I'm doing a video app, a very small youtube but in flex with Drupal as backend, I just started to look at Red5 and Adobe Flash Media Server 3. And I have the same issue, how to store the data, also I know there are flash/video modules working with coders and streaming servers, do you test that modules?, how different are those you are intended to develop?

Greetings

Implementation option

See if you can extend the comment module.
1. intercept the comment for and redirect to flex app.

2. when saving the commend embed some code probably through a token that you can generate the code when the comment is display to point the audio/video files

that probably how I would do it. I wont have to re-implement the whole comment system and I leverage the best parts of durpal

I have implemented audio and

I have implemented audio and video comments as well as audio and video nodes using red5 and services api from drupal. I also plan to release a module once my client project went online.

How is it going with your module / implementation?
