On this week's podcast Bob shows you how to create a video gallery from start to finish...all in the span of about 8 minutes. The method shown is perfect if you don't want to get your hands dirty with hosting your own files, wrestling with ffmpeg, or worrying about huge bandwidth bills. This tutorial is all about using the CCK plugin called Embedded Media Field. We mash that content together with Views and we're watching video on our website in no time.
Very Cool!
Very cool! Thanks once again for a sweet videocast! Can't wait for Geeks and God to be back!!
Video Filter
Great videocast Bob. Another option for doing this is the Video Filter Module. One thing that concerns me about using Embedded Media Field is that it is still in alpha. Has anyone used this in a production site?
Very Nice
An other excelent Video Podcast of you. Is it also possible to integrate your podcasts to an individual site by following this podcast? And by the way is it also allowed to provide the mustardseedmedia podcast on the own site?
Great Podcast
Really great podcast BOB.
Is it possible to create a block in views to display video URL created by a particular user? I want to put such block on the profile page of a user of the website which will display video URLs posted by him.
It is possible....
On behalf of BOB.
It is possible to integrate the great podcasts of BOB on an individual site. All of the podcasts of BOB are posted on blip.tv (http://mustardseed.blip.tv/) so you can enable blip.tv in Providers list in "Embedded Media Field configuration" and use the URLs of BOB's podcast to upload these videos (if BOB do not have any copyright or other such issue).
Am I right BOB?
Wow! Thanks for the great
Wow! Thanks for the great podcasts. They are the clearest, most concise I have found. I have consumed all of them and look forward to more.
Very2 Thanks
Wow, just as i need how to build video gallery and eventually i want to combine it with node hierarchy so that one node can contain many video.
I always love the screencast from mustardseed, cause it make it so simple so we all can understand, i've watched all of your podcasts and it's all great !! Thanks and keep a good work :)
Silence as Acquiescence
@Rabit69
You can take Bob's silence as acquiescence, if not approval :)
Dear Bob,
I am still trying my hand on how to create a block in Views or Views Carousel to display Video URL contents created by a particular user only?
I want to put such block on the profile page of a user of the website which will display video URLs posted by him.
And
And if you add the FeedAPI module then you do not even need to create the video nodes.. D5 tutorial
Thanks for all the podcasts
Thanks for all the podcasts i find them ALL very useful!!
Got the answer
I got the answer to my question "how to create a block in Views or Views Carousel to display Video URL contents created by a particular user only?"
For other who may be grappling with the same question. The answer is available on Bob's another Great work GeeksandGod.com
Previous Video & Next Video Links?
Thanks alot that makes adding video galleries easy! Just one question...how do you make previous and next links when viewing the node's page?
Since it's a gallery, seems like you should be able to quickly navigate from one video to the next.
Thanks!
Gallery Autoplay
This was an awesome tutorial. Thanks.
My only problem is that all of the videos on the Gallery page are auto playing. I made sure that autoplay was not selected when I created the this content type. Also, the videos are only autoplaying on the Gallery preview page and not in their respective nodes.
Anyone know why this might be?
blip.tv is blank??? (youtube works)
I went through, on a fresh D6 install, and installed the emfield module. I created a content type, and added an embedded media field.
When I include the embed code from blip.tv in the embedded media field, when the node displays, there is a blank area where the player should be, but there's nothing (visible) there.
This only happens with blip.tv. If I embed a youtube URL, everything works fine.
The ONLY modules installed are CCK, views and emfield. Is there anything special that I need to do, in order to make the blip tv stuff work? Note - If I create a normal node, and just paste in the embed code, then I can see and play the blip tv content.
That tells me that I must have something amiss with the emfield setup, but I can't see where.
Any suggestions? (I have enabled blip TV as a content provider, both in the module itself and also in teh content type that I created).
Sorted (kinda...)
I went back into the blip.tv dashboard, and tweaked the default "Show Player". Basically, all I did was look at it, and then save it, I don't think that I changed anything else. And now all works sweet. Maybe a "first time used" edge case or something, but it seems fine now.
Custom Blip Showplayer
Blip is working great for me, but I can't get it to use the custom showplayer like Bob has on his site. I'm Drupal 5 with the embedded video field. I put the URL in the field and everything's cool, except the player is white instead of green and it says "Blip.tv" instead of my custom message.
I'm sure it's something simple, but I'm pulling my hair out on it.
Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks. Your article helped to ease my anxiety about doing this kind of thing.
Playlists
Is there a way to make playlists of video? For example, group the pastors sermons by book, topic, or just by preacher where the content can be listed in more than one place?
Playlists = Views
RL.....I think what you're probably looking for is the views module. This allows you to make lists of related content like this. However, if youre looking for TRUE playlists (multiple items in a single player), swftools does allow you to create them...I just haven't had to do that yet so I'm not sure exactly how it works.
Custom blip.tv showplayer
Please help me!
I've worked and worked on blip and searched and searched on the web! How do you put individual episodes from blip on your Drupal site with a custom showplayer like you're doing?
Can I bribe you with a premium coffee drink?
Jeff
Very cool! Thanks once again

Blip.tv Playlist
If you want a more simple solution with a playlist then look no farther. You can actually create a playlist within blip.tv and make separate custom players that attach to your playlists.
Then you can simply create a new page and embed it into the page. No modules, setups, or configurations.
The only downside is that it isn't integrated with your site's database and content. So no comments on individual episodes and the likes.
video tutorial
I'm sorry, I'd like to say this tutorial was awesome and in someways it was BUT, a lot of it was much too fast, no explanations, the cursor whizzing all over the place, touching categories without explanation. You'd have to watch this several times to get it before it gets annoying. Okay he can do it eight minutes. What's the point if a lot of us don't understand it?
Native solution
You mentioned in the first part of the cast that this method is kind of the "easier" work around for a Native solution. However with the site I'm developing, Native is pretty much the only option. Can anyone point me in the direction of some "native" solutions for drupal? Upload and conversion I have down, but i seem to be struggling with the actual drupal end of things...
Do Embedded Media Field
Do Embedded Media Field module be able to upload video to local server instead of using video provider ?

Wow, you save me tons of reading time, please continue this service, great videos
Upload Videos directly to Youtube
Hey there,
Great podcast!
I'm just recreating one of my websites using Drupal for the first time. Now I saw your podcast and that's almost exactly what I need. I just wonder if there's the possibility to let the users upload their own videos from my site directly to Youtube (using the Youtube API or something, idk).
Thanks a lot and sorry for my bad english,
Nico
