Release notes

6.x-4.0-BETA1 Has now been released. I am releasing this as beta as there have been major changes and additions and I think its stable enough for a beta. We still need help testing this before its implemented in a production environment. This is a rewrite of the 6.x-3.x branch. The major improvements are listed below:

  • FTP Video Attach. (Ability to FTP all your videos at once and then attach the videos through a dropdown)
  • FLVTool2 integration.
  • Improved upload methods to select default video dimensions. The conversion class now tries to figure out the final dimensions of the video while maintaining its original aspect ratio. It will add black bars on either the top/bottom or left/right depending on the end resolution. This has improved video quality in my tests.
  • Improved admin ui for easier configuration and understanding. Ability to associate each video extension with its own player.
  • Drupals hook_cron() Support.
  • Video thumbnail Integration with Views.
  • FFMpeg conversion on node save.
  • Better video and thumbnail cleanup. The module will now clean up and delete the videos and thumbnails when you remove them. There is no more orphans.
  • Complete integration with swftools.
  • Improved theme engine. Each video player now has its own tpl file that can be easily overridden.
  • Video transcoder rewrite to allow the cck field to maintain its original file uploaded. We update the rendered output's filepath if a video has been converted instead of overwriting it. You now have access to the original file through the $video->original object inside your theme tpl file.
  • New cck formatter that utilizes jMedia. I have included this js file with the module as I had to make a regex change. When finding out the extension of a video, it would guess at it instead of getting it from the end. This was a problem with videos that ended like this: video.wmv.flv. It thought it was a .wmv instead of a .flv. Still working out the flv extension with this formatter.
  • Node unpublished during transcoding process. Once the video is transcode, the node becomes published.

Please help us test this so we can get a solid stable release out soon!
