Hello. With the release of WordPress 3.1 looming, I was wondering if there is any news from the video server camp? I would really like to set up a self-hosted system using this framework, and from the general tone the project is undergoing some new updates. Is there any news? Would this be the primary source of news if there was any? What’s happening captain?

Hello for all. I have a server managed by the hosting company that has a WordPress MU installation. Is it possible install the WordPress Video Solution Framework in other server managed by me and use in my WordPress MU or it just works in local machine? Someone use it in Windows or just Linux? Thanks in advance.

Automattic is currently working on a refresh of the wordpresscom-video-server project that will improve support for low-power, mobile devices requiring specialized encoding profiles. These changes are expected to change database schema, selectors for best match video, thumbnail handlers, and more. These are some core pieces of the framework; it’s best not to break the framework foundation too often and cause implementors to change their builds.

If you use VideoPress or have visited a site with a VideoPress video you may have noticed a new Flash video player based on the Open Source Media Framework developed by Adobe and others and released under a MPL license. The new VideoPress player uses Action Message Format 3 (spec PDF) for client-server communication. AMF 3 produces a compact binary over the wire for fast processing by the Flash client runtime. Player components, including skins, are defined as objects and passed to the player for unpacking. Custom skins for sites implementing the wordpresscom-video-server framework should be a lot simpler with the new player design. You can read more about the VideoPress player and the OSMF framework in my recent VideoPress OSMF player article published in the Adobe Edge newsletter.

If you follow core WordPress development you may have recently noticed a post on WordPress 3.1 scope and some hints at what that community plans to implement in WordPress 3.2. Expect a few changes from the WordPress community around “content types” and a general interest around utilizing custom post types possible in WordPress 3.0 in new ways. WordPress 3.2, expected early 2011, currently includes a media type overhaul that will likely impact wordpresscom-video-server implementations again. Some foundational changes that will ultimately bring more attention to video as a publishing type within the WordPress publishing system.

I am wondering what the best service is, or best way in general, to allow user submitted videos on a wordpress.org site. they would need to be moderated first. any suggestions?

Will WPV work on WordPress 3.0?

Looks like an abandoned project…

I want to be able to upload a video

I forgot to enable AllowOverride option to ALL in apache config file. As a reason .htaccess rewrite rules were not working. Now it’s working fine.

I edited the the following entries in php.ini

post_max_size = 500M

Now I can upload files and it also transcodes successfully. I can see the transcoded files in /var/www/html/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2010/06 directory

But when I click on play video in “Preview and insert” I get the message

“Sorry, the video is currently unavailable”

What’s preventing to play the video?

Thanks

I found the following error lines are quoted from /ffmpeg/libavfilter/vsrc_buffer.c file

“Buffering several frames is not supported. Please consume all available frames before adding a new one.”

But transcoding completes succesffully if done from command line by changing the following line in video-verify-ffmpeg.php. There is no buffer related issue.

$video_url = “/root/Quakecon.wmv”;

php video-verify-ffmpeg.php

Why is it getting buffer related problem when transcoding through WPMU site.

Adding the error logs again below
