budgester Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Does anyone know of a open source system that will play videos, something like youtube but running on our own server with our own video content.
Michael Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Why would you want to do this? You can register with youtube.com for free, then host as many videos as you want at their expense!
JJonas Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I would like this as youtube is blocked at our school and I can control content
Hightower Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Why would you want to do this? You can register with youtube.com for free, then host as many videos as you want at their expense! With a time limit! Is it something like 12 minutes? What if YouTube is blocked by the ISP in our case? There's a reason to do it.
Michael Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 You should be able to host something on your intranet I would of thought if that's the case.
Hightower Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 You should be able to host something on your intranet I would of thought if that's the case. I think the OP realises that, that's why (s)he is asking. The question they are asking is what application would you use?

UnknownStuntman Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I have used flowplayer to embed/play .flv videos in webpages hosted on our site. 1

sibotech Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Try Coppermine!! Coppermine Photo Gallery (Stable) - Home We use at the school where I work.
TheScarfedOne Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Another option for Sharepoint schools is the PKS... take a look on http://Codeplex.com/pks 1
clodhopper Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 We use Vhare (vShare Video Sharing Script - YouTube Clone Script, script to start video sharing community) it isn't free but might as well be for $10 :-) If you'd like more info get in contact as I've shown a few other Colleges and they are very interested in it and how I've tweaked it for College use.

CyberNerd Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 We use moodle for video content, I modified the flv play to make it work fullscreen - the hack will be mainstream in the 1.95 release. it doesn't auto convert files to flv yet though.... 2

davecoleman146 Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Why not user windows server streaming media we stream over 4000 video's delivered through Sharepoint
rocknrollstar Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 Youtube is banned by our county filtering. Easier to have it in-house only, so no external issues! Good thinking though!
chris_uk Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 I have written a system that allows our staff to have videos streamed for both students and staff, it is only running on a dual core 2gig 2gig of ram, 640GB hdd space. It runs debian with lighttpd web server so that it allows for progressive streaming of video files. It can happily allow you to move forward and back in a 1.2GB file.
ricki Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 I would like this as youtube is blocked at our school and I can control content HI I have been asking staff to contact educational content on youtube and ask them to post it on teacher tube as thats not blocked in Lancashire. Richard
wesleyw Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Joomla + hwdvideoshare, clipbucket, ostube, vidiscript are all good too, Dolphin by Boonex works well but there are a lot of stories about nasty users on the forums at Boonex and you allegedly don't get much help when asking about issues you may have. I've been looking into this myself as a way of holding all of our old VHS videos in a central repository. OSTube has a nice WebTV feature but mass uploading isn't supported, Dolphin via the flash uploader can mass upload but on Linux I couldn't get it to work and on windows it uploaded but wouldn't convert, Vidiscript I think can do mass uploading but don't quote me on that. The joomla + hwdvideoshare is very good and the mass uploading works great but it doesn't have an option for sound or photos but hwdphotoshare will sort out part of that and there are loads of MP3 (mass uploading supported) modules/plugins/components for Joomla too. The one I use you just create an article and add a tag with the directory you want to use and it adds all the files to that page with individual players (could get messy if you aren't careful lol) they've got to be MP3 at the moment the plugin is called Mp3Browser.

mb2k01 Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 PHPMotion looks perfect for this kind of thing. Does anyone have an idiots guide to installing on Windows Server? Or, even better, a VM of the installation they would be willing to share?
CyberNerd Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 With Google Apps Education, selected staff can upload video to your google education domain, using google video.
CyberNerd Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 no, google education edition is free for upto 3000 users
