Please add to this list on what you are wanting to see in version 4. Right now I have the following I am working to build into the latest release.

  • Add FTP Widget (This allows you to upload all your videos to a folder and then select them from a dropdown list and attach them to your node. Done!
  • FLVTool2 support Done!
  • Drupals internal hook_cron() Support. Done! You can turn this on/off
  • Video Thumbnail Integration
  • Video conversion on node save. Done!
  • Support for lightbox
  • Stream wrappers for CDN's
  • Integration with zencoder
  • Javascript upgrades for thumbnail selection. Larger thumbnail changes to the radio button you selected on the fly. Done!
  • Support for different types of players though the video formatter
  • More stuff here...

I will update this list as features are suggested. This is a "wish list" but I will try to work everything we think is necessary or a good enhancement in.

Small thing, it is better to have option for users to select not to publish a node until transcoding process is completed.

A couple things would make this module the perfect solution for video processing. (this is outside of my understanding as to what you currently are doing for 6.4.x)

Thumbnails:

*1. have a choice to be able to choose all thumbnails and not just a single default thumbnail.
*2. expose all of the thumbnails to a cck field so that it could be used with effects such as role over.
3. (this would just be a neat feature) to use a simple rotator script that starts on mouse over function (swobject code "simple rotator")

Videos:

1. ability to add an extra lines for double pass coding for ffmpeg

2. Option to add a new cck field for the converted video so that the original video upload field can be used for other purposes

3. option to have video conversions put into a new folder or replace originally uploaded video

4. Streaming Server Support: this could be done by allowing for openssh scp key transfer (see Flash Video)
5. support for streaming servers in general (see Flash Video)

* would really love to see these features.

Thanks

@Milan0, you may know video module is totally depends on the Filefiled module, so we would like to have global stream_wrapper instead of having Video module specific S3 support, our stream_wrapper will add support on all filefield and is subsidiary module to use their file system as S3.

I have been thinking about storing all the thumbnails and doing a rollover effect on mouse hover. I may make this a cck formatter but I want to get a good 4.x version out first, but it will come shortly after that. Need help testing and re-implementing anything that I missed.

I will help you all I can. I would love to see the Video Module become the best solution for video editing. I am currently only using it for the purpose of editing thumbnail and metadata and then using flash video for processing, since I am needing to have them on a flash server.

Let me know what I can do to help. I personally am not a code writer (can read it, but not write it yet) but I do have an employee who has a graduates degree in php coding from Purdue. If there is anything you would like him to take a look at or any kind of testing done just let me know, as I would love to see this module do everything you need for video processing.

FYI, as for Video display, I feel working with swftools is really the best way to manage the display of the videos as of right now. (that doesn't mean the video module can't out do them) but as for right now, I don't think I would worry as much about the display of the videos as I would the processing of the videos.

Note for all new users: The Video Module integrates seamlessly with swftools, Great work!!!!

@leavellwd Thanks for your interest, please test the 4.x version and back to us with your comments.

Few issues I fount on testing
1. When I create video it will flag as unpublished thats nice, but after conversion is completed its still unpublished :P.
2. Add admin configuration and permission to auto check convert on submission. -Done
