Media Portal with drupal

nocturnalknight - April 2, 2009 - 04:21

Hi,

I need a media repository built around drupal, I've narrowed on a list of plugins and other details. These media files are a combination of ogg and mp3 clippings and i need the users to be able to search the site by Genere, Track, Album, Artist and the like..Is thre a contributed module which caters to this need?

The no: of media files is huge, 12K clips. Also, if you know any out of the bo module which allows me to host music files and allow users to download , I'd be glad for the help.

Thanks,
Ram.

thanks,

Hi - This is actually the exact thing I was about to post about. I would LOVE a solution to this problem. I, on the other hand, will likely have large files (in the form of videos).

I would like to not only have the mp3, video functionality, but also an easy way to organize other files (doc, pdf etc). This seems like something for which drupal has the capability, but it seems the structure wouldn't be exactly right. If anyone can suggest how I could do this with drupal (or maybe even suggest a different F/OSS project), I would be quite grateful. I will be using this site to show clients a portfolio of their media, essentially.

As a side note -> I have found "blue droplet video" (formerly known as "openproject video") is decent for videos.

Yeah i just show in the

Yeah i just show in the morning today about the droplet video module. Its easy but not that great with look wise. If you really want to impress your client try to use views + cck + thickbox (lightbox 2). For demo look over here

Hi - Is there any way to modify this so that you can use an ffmpeg wrapper and upload the files yourself?
