Question

Our company now has over 40 tutorial videos and I’m looking for a video gallery app.

Something that would be similar to:
http://tv.telerik.com/
or
http://umbraco.org/documentation/videos/for-site-builders/datatypes/using-datatypes-that-have-prevalues

Does anyone know of any PHP or asp.net solutions?

I’d rather not re-invent the wheel.
As there are a ton of hidden functions like sorting, most popular, tagging, comments, etc.

Answer 1

I would suggest to use any popular CMS. For WordPress, here is what you can do. You can use many of it’s out of the box features –

• each video is created as a blog-post. So u have comments, tags too.
• each blog-post will have a custom parameter as video url
• while rendering a single post, take this custom parameter and build HTML/embded video object with your flash player.
• these blogposts can be moderated my multiple wordpress users
• comes with plenty of free themes to choose. Enjoy!
• customize the archive page, to have a thumbnail like gallery page.
• use a ratings plugin to rate blog-posts.

For now onwards, start thinking of customizing a CMS rather reinventing 🙂
