This package provides Audio and Video Dexterity content types and behaviors, conversions and players/views.

It integrates the HTML5 media player mediaelementjs and uses plone.app.async if installed to convert videos to common formats.

• Audio and Video types
• Integration with mediaelementjs designed for maximum forward and backwards compatibility
• Automatically convert video types to HTML5 compatible video formats
• Be able to add video from TinyMCE by adding a link to the audio or video objects and then adding one of the available Audio and Video TinyMCE styles.
• Integration with plone.app.async for conversions if installed
• Plone 4.3 syndication support
• Transcript data
• Youtube URL (in case you want the video streamed from Youtube)
• Streaming support
• Still screen shot
• Subtitle (captioning) file in SRT format

In order for video conversion to work correctly, you'll need ffmpeg installed which provides the avconv collection of command line utilities.

On Ubuntu, you should be able to install with:

sudo apt-get install libav-tools

Must have plone.app.jquery >= 1.8.3

Uploaded videos can be forced through the video conversion process by enabling the Force video conversion option. This option is useful if you would like to transcode all videos down to a certain resolution; or if you want to enforce a certain quality setting or video profile across all uploads.

You may like to pass certain parameters to avconv to customise the video transcoding process. Extra infile and outfile options can be configured in the control panel per video format:

avconv [infile options] -i infile [outfile options] outfile.{format}

The latest version of avconv on Ubuntu may require -strict experimental as an outfile option for the mp4 format.

Since version 2.0, YouTube integration is supported. Videos can automatically be uploaded to a configured YouTube account.

Different install requirements:
