Plone4Artists video add-on for Plone
Project description
p4a.plonevideo
Overview
The p4a.plonevideo package is an integration component for integrating the p4a.video framework with the Plone platform. It was inspired by the Plone ATVideo product and even borrows some UI.
Project Description
The p4a.plonevideo product lets you upload a normal File to your Plone site. It uses p4a.video to: * auto-detect the object as a video file * auto-extract the video metadata * render an appropriate view (depending on the file format)
Watch the screencast to experience a nice intro the the product. Thanks to Jonathan Lewis for putting this screencast together!
