Video files and streaming

[dgbaker]

Hey there;

Anyone every setup ffmpeg with dms? We have rtsp streaming working with videos that have been uploaded to dms, but want to convert over to using ffmpeg.

I was looking at doing somthing like the following;

1. File upload begins
2. Evaluate the ext of uploaded doc and if media file convert to flv
3. Some how change the extension of the sql record to flv from the original.
4. Call our op.StreamMedia.php file with the op.Download.php?documentid=$documentid as the url which calls the newly converted flv file.

2 and 3 are the major stumbling blocks.

We can't use rtsp for a lot of the media as some are nearly 2gb in size so need to use a streaming server.

If you have any ideas or comments on this let me know.

Thanks

There is some on the fly conversion mechanism when uploading a file. It was barely used and I not sure if it currently works. I may also only work to convert to html.
