Hi,

For the 'Open Images Platform' (an open source 'video website' based
on mmbase), I'm developing an extension on the existing 'media'
application and called it 'streams', and am maintaining it in
'speeltuin' currently:
https://scm.mmbase.org/speeltuin/mihxil/streams/

The point of the whole thing is that is supplies the functionality to
upload and transcode  actual movies and audio ('streams') via MMBase
itself too. So whereas the media application is basicly a manager for
stream-urls, the 'streams' application can actually provide the urls
for that.

It adds specialization builders like 'videostreamsources' and
'videostreamsourcescaches' which extends 'videosources' .
'streamsources' have an 'url' field which behaves as an upload, and
streamsourcescaches contain trancoded versions of that (like images vs
icaches). Transcoding is triggered automaticly, and actually the whole
thing is pretty much comparable to images vs icaches. The streams
themselves are stored on the FS, and can optionally be served out by
another server. Transcoding can also be delegated to other servers (as
it also icaches-generation could be, but for transcoding video it may
be more essential that ithisis possible).

Transcoding now happens via command line clients like ffmpeg, but it
is pretty pluggable (we actually mostly use ffmpeg2theor). I
originally intended to use JMF for that, but that's pretty hard,
though I've not given up enitrely yet :-).

I'd like to move this to
https://scm/mmbase.org/mmbase/trunk/applications/streams. I myself
will be responsible for maintaining it. There are still some
improvements to be made, so that will happen in the coming months, but
as it is, it is already usable.
