Video Solution Pack


The Islandora Video Solution Pack is used to ingest digital videos into = Fedora. It supports creation of derivatives in various different video form= ats, and requires the server-side installation of accompanying codecs to en= able this functionality. It can also be configured to stream the video to a= player window on-site using JWPlayer.



Release No= tes and Downloads


The Islandora Video Solution pack can be configured at http://pa=, and includes the = following options:


If JWPlayer has been correctly installed on the server, an option to sel= ect it as a viewer will appear here.

Paths to ffmpe= g/Theora executables

For derivative creation, the Video Solution Pack needs to know the locat= ion of the binaries that perform conversion. On Unix-based systems, this ca= n often be done by running:

 ffmpeg ffmpeg2theora

and checking for binary package files located in folders called 'bin' (s= uch as /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, etc.)

Video conversion in any context is an extremely resource-heavy task that= can be very taxing on the computer performing it. In the case of Islandora= , when using these derivative creation options, the task is called upon and= performed by the 'apache' user on the same server Islandora is running on = and that users are performing other tasks with. When creating video derivat= ives on ingest, please consider either delaying ingest to a low-traffic per= iod of time, or performing derivative creation on another machine altogethe= r.
