As youtube as recently opened up a mobile version of the site http://m.youtube.com , I'm wondering if this could be added to this script.
I think youtube takes certain files using Chmod and converts them to 3GP for viewing via their mobile site??
Maybe something to think about.

In addition to this what about letting users send videos from their cell phones to the site for posting?
Made have an email account set up to take the incoming video and then somehow associate there emailed video to their account and post it to the site.
This one is probably going to take a while to figure out and implement, but I definitely think it's going to be a big trend to get onto. We should be on this like a leg-humping dog :)
yeah having a way for users to upload videos from thier phones would be GREAT!
Im using it already, they pay 2.50 into paypal they get whatever vid.
Stop teazing and spill the beans Zeffer! :wink:
Hi,
Yes I think this THE thing for close future (working already).
The "Inspiration point" of people is not always when they
sit next to their PC ... but the mobile phones with camaras
etc are always with them ... so the access to upload/share
videos and download them will be used much more then the
PC really ... just compare the numbers of conected PCs with
conected mobile devices :D
Anyway if there is someone talented interested in this contact
me as I own a premium domain name for these services registered
years ago and have been sitting on it waiting for the show to start ....
I'm really interested in something like this, any update or plans to release this version? I searched and didn't find anything else on the subject.
I got an omnia mobile and would love to implement something like this, maybe a different "layout" where they bring up 3gp videos instead of flash?
anyone know how facebook does it? They ask you to send an email to [email protected] and then it is uploaded to your account. obviously your phone number is connected to your account to prior registration
This really isn't that difficult to setup (in theory). It will obviously be much easier to do in the next version of the software as we could directly edit the upload parameters so that we can convert the file into a format that is compatible with mobile users. You can actually do this today, although you would have to have all of your videos in one format (the easiest format would be MP4 as most mobile phones today support it) and you would have to upgrade the default player to the latest version (so that you can get MP4 support). Once you do that, building the pages to play back the video should be fairly simple.
one BIG problem is that all the PHP files are ENCRYPTED
Also, I actually got my server issues worked out by uninstalling ASP - FREE and then uprading with YUM upgrade
Yep. The next version is supposed to be unencrypted so it should be much easier to work with. However, even encrypted (today), you can add in mobile phone functionality. It would be more of an add-on versus a code modification.
hmmm, maybe utilizing the multi server support as well.
have your video go from your phone to a convertor then to the folder for multi import....
Well, if you are talking about emailing a video from your phone, that can be done fairly easily, especially if done via email. Simply parse the email message, pull out the video, copy it to your import folder, then convert as needed.
ok...care to do a mock up?
A mock up of which part?
the modification. Make the mod and post it for the community to use. From what you say this is easy to do, then why not, if you have some time, do it and post it for all to use.Quote:

The first one would require that all videos that are sent from mobile phones via email would have to go to your import folder so that an administrator could manually add in all of the required information for importing (Title, Description, Tags, etc). The second one is the one that would require considerably more work. It would require all of your videos being in a format that can be read by a mobile phone (that's part one), and it would require a separate interface for viewing the videos (that's part two). The first one I could do for free as that would only take about a day or two to complete (once I actually got started on it). The second one would not be a free mod at all as it would take a lot of time. It would require creating a program that goes through and reconverts all of the flv files to another format, it would require changing the default FLV player, it would require creating new files to display the content on mobile phones, and it would require changing the default upload parameters to create files in a format other than FLV.
oh u misunderstood me.
Not so that they can be Viewed on a mobile phone...just so that you can send it to the site and it upload and post like a regular vid (only just by sending a email from your phone or mmx msg to a email or number or something like that). Facebook, hi5 and a few others do this already
Well, the emailing thing is completely possible. However, what is going to be difficult is to have it automatically convert. Reason is because the current version of vShare does not collect information such as phone numbers and, thus, cannot associate a received email to a user. The only thing that you could do would be to have it copy to the import folder and someone manually convert and add it.
This would be a great feature to have for my site. U2 is going on tour this summer and with all the cell phone vids that get created it would be nice to give the users of my little U2 video site a way to share it in almost real time.
I maybe willing to pay for this feature...
You can't.Quote:
