[opencms-dev] video player

[Jan Boon]

Hi Eska,

It is possible for me to write an article about Red5-integration with 
OpenCMS. At this stage however the integration with OpenCMS is in a 
preliminary stage. I can demo it on my own website which now runs on an 
Atom 230 Mini-ITX mainboard :-). I will not make the link public because 
I am afraid it will crash my system (allthough I am sure the demo will 
not compete with Lady GaGa). If time allows me I will write a HowTo to 
build a system from scratch with the upcoming Ubuntu 10.04 end of April. 
I have allready ordered two Atom 510 Mini-ITX boards for that purpose 
:-). The end result should be a reproducable reference system to benefit 
anyone interested (me in particular) without being a Spring or Apache 
expert.

But if you are:
The clue is uncommenting the injection of the rtmpt-tunnel-bean in the 
red5-core.xml in the standard 0.9.1. distribution and adding the 
following rewrite rule:
RewriteRule ^/((open|send|idle|close|fcs)/.*)$ http://yoursite:8088/$1 [P]
to your virtual host in httpd.conf of Apache.
The details of the latter however will vary per distribution which in my 
case now is Ubuntu 8.04 (and you have to have of course the 
rewrite-module enabled).
On the OpenCMS side for the JWPlayer you have to add the following 
example code in e.g. the source of a template-two article:

<h2>This a test from OpenCMS to Red5</h2>
<script type='text/javascript' src='../swfobject.js'></script>
<div id="mediaspace">This text will be replaced</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var so = new SWFObject('../player.swf','mpl','320','240','9');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
so.addVariable('file','avatar.flv');
so.addVariable('image','thumbnail.jpg');
so.addVariable('streamer','rtmpt://yoursite/oflaDemo');
so.write('mediaspace');
</script>

The details however will vary per player.
For me the next step is to write a widget (in my spare time) that nicely 
will wrap it up in XML.

Regards Jan.
