Aaron Winborn, one of our awesome developers here at Advomatic, wrote a book on Drupal Multimedia, titled shockingly, “Drupal Multimedia“. He’s been getting lots of feedback and reviews, the latest coming from Ken Rickard. Ken astutely opines: Let me start the formal review by praising Winborn’s depth of knowledge and commitment to Drupal and the …

Here’s the video for the Drupal Multimedia panel at DrupalCon. Presenting were Arthur Foelsche, Alex Urevick-Ackelsberg, and myself. By the way, the dev version of Embedded Media Field now supports Archive.org. Hopefully the Drupalcon site will install the module so we can see all the videos directly from that site; even if not, I’m sure …
Read more »Media Transcriptions Roadmap
I’ve started work on the Media Transcriptions module today. This module will allow the attachment of Transcriptions (or Closed Captioning) to video and audio files. The initial version in CVS is from some work by Jonathan DeLaigle (grndlvl), who is a co-maintainer & developer of the module. For full functionality, you’ll need to wait for …

I sometimes hear a complaint that jQuery Media can’t be used for both audio and video on the same site, because it makes the player too large. This is not true at all. Although it does currently require some finagling. I plan to reconfigure the module soon to make it easier to pull in the …

My Plans for August
Sadly, my plans for August don’t include Drupalcon Szeged. Already too much travel this summer, and the dates conflict with a training my partner is doing, so that would be hard on our 4yo. Back in June, I made a list of personal project plans, so I figure I’ll revise that list for the rest …

Here’s a sneak peek of the new flash Drupal Media Player, developed by yours truly with OpenLaszlo! Obviously, it’s still rough on the edges, and all the options in the theme function aren’t hooked up yet. Although it works already (after a fashion), don’t use it yet unless you’re willing to suffer the consequences. lz.embed.swf({url: …

So my brother in law (Erik Gecas) has an art exhibit, Painting Physical Presence, that’s just opened in Las Vegas! Particularly exciting for me (though admittedly only slightly relevant to the world of Drupal) is that I created his web gallery a few months ago, with Drupal of course. The show is in tandem with …

The Media Code Sprint has been a great success thus far! We have built a fairly comprehensive test suite for hook_file. It still needs to be rounded out, so that, for instance, all the cases for file saving are covered. However, validation is fleshed out, and the framework is pretty much usable and ready for …
