Spam: The other white meat

To try out a version of Media Mover that is largely pre-configured, I've put together a full site and database that you can download to experiment with.

This demo site is configured to convert files uploaded to page nodes and attach the converted file back to the node. It will subsequently create a thumbnail from the converted file which will be used for display. These settings are all controlled by Media Mover.

Once these files are created, two other modules take care of the display duties. XSPF Playlist is configured to use the FLV file in a playlist. The thumbnail generated by Media Mover is used in the playlist as a thumbnail image. FLV Media Player then takes this playlist and renders inside the Long Tail Flash Player.

Display of the Long Tail Flash Player is handled by SWF Object API which uses javascript to place the player in the page.

To use this demo, you will need several additional files beyond the included Drupal modules:

* FFmpeg binary
* Long Tail Flash player
* SWF Object JS file
* Antiword binary

For convenience, all of these files are included in this release, however, you are responsible for following the licenses of each of these software packages. This software package is meant for demonstration purposes only- you must comply with the licenses of each of these pieces of software.

Having dispatched with my faux legalese, this entire package is avaliable for download via SVN at: https://svn.24b6.net/repos/media_mover_demo (user: drupal pass: drupal). You can grab the latest version of the configured database at http://24b6.net/demo

Please note that if you're using OSX, you will need to use a different version of ffmpeg. Please see the FFmpeg information.

I have tried to keep the configuration here as simple as possible. You will need to upload your own content to see how things function, but with the SVN repository and this DB snapshot, you should be fairly close to up and running. Root user is admin, pass is admin

Steps
Checkout the repository into your web directory. I use /var/www myself, but everybody has their own way.

$ svn co https://svn.24b6.net/repos/media_mover_demo media_mover_demo
$ cd media_mover_demo/sites/default
$ cp default.settings.php settings.php
$ mkdir files

You need to make the files directory writable by the webserver for the filesystem to work correctly.

Next, you need to add your database configuration to your settings.php file. You just need to add your db user, pass, and db name. Then you you need to import the db on this page into your database. You can do this via the command line or via something like phpmyadmin
