I just wanted to put in a plug here for the Variations on Video project based at Indiana University and Northwestern that was recently funded by IMLS: http://variationsonvideo.org/
This project will be working to try to address a number of needs related to online audio and video collections in a library/archives context, with a technical architecture built around Fedora+Hydra. One of the goals is to be able to integrate with multiple external media server platforms and delivery mechanisms and to enforce access control down to the level of the stream. Both IU and Northwestern have a decent amount of experience with streaming media, but not in the context of integration with Fedora, so we hope to learn from and build on the experiences of Adam, Chris, and others who have already been down that road a bit. The project is just getting started, so we're not to the point of having a detailed technical design, but our goal is to have as open a process as possible for getting feedback on functional and technical requirements from the broader community. More to come...
