Question

i need to add video streaming capabilities to drupal. I need this functions:

• Some users must be able to create
  content with video inside it. It must
  be easy, the best idea would be
  adding a new content type (rich
  media) and then the user can choose
  to either upload a video from his pc
  or choose a video that has been
  already uploaded
• Registered user must
  have the possibility to upload videos
  that are viewed by a moderator before
  publishing them

All video must stay on my server (privacy reasons and so on), what i’m asking is: is there any drupal modules that any of you has used that does such things?

for streaming video from my server do i need some special “video streaming server”?
i’v checked flowplayer as stated in this question, but i don’t get if i need to setup some extras on the server or not.

EDIT – in case, has anyone tried to use Kaltura?

Answer 1

I built a WebTV Module on top of NaviCast Streaming API. I used flowplayer for playback. I also setup adStreamer plugin with flowplayer.

NaviCast is a paid service and gives you a desktop application to manage your videos.
