Summary: Live video streaming
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Currently users can upload images to mediawiki, but not live video streams.
Mediawiki should have a feature that allows users to embed their live stream
into a mediawiki article page. It should be hosted by the mediawiki software.
Users can use their usb webcams or iPhone/iPhone3G.
If a live video stream is available on a mediawiki article page, there should
be a "WATCH" button at the top of the page, users click on it, and all the live
video streams for that article are displayed.
What could this be used for?
As an example, say a person saw a plane crash into a river, and it was all over
the news and within an hour an article was posted in a wiki, people go to the
wiki to read about it, and if a person with a oomputer or cellphone is at the
scene and they go to the wiki's url, embed their live video stream, and now
people going to the wiki article can watch the plane crash live.
In the "special pages" section there could be a "live streams" section, and
when users go to it, the most viewed streams will be displayed from most viewed
to least viewed. The current number of people viewing each live stream should
be displayed along with the rating, url, and comments, and there should be a
live chatroom box on the video stream page too.
The mediawiki live video stream player should use adobe flash or program your
own open-source flash player so users don't have to download anything, and it
should be widescreen 16:9 and support up to HD 1080i but also support lower
quality like HD 1080p, HD 720p, SD(standard definition) 16:9 and SD 4:3(non
widescreen). The video player size should be 640x385 pixels.
This should be part of the core of the next version of mediawiki because photo
uploads is part of the core, so live video streams should be too.
