Inject metadata on all videos
Had a good luck with pseudo streaming with apache. It works nicely with flowplayer solution. Now I have to inject metadata into every single flv video. There is a classic tool named flvtool2 but it is very slow and memory consuming is much. Luckily there is cool new tool named Yamdi appeared recently. With Yamdi you can inject metadata into very big flv file in a just few seconds while flvtool2 does that job about 10 mins. Installing yamdi was very simple All I did was wget yamdi from http://yamdi.sourceforge.net/ gcc yamdi.c -o yamdi -O2 -Wall mv yamdi /usr/bin/ There is older versions on yum repos but only recent version (1.8) has -w option that replaces original file with injected file. And here is bash script that scans folder for *.flv and injects it with metadata and replaces with original file. #!/bin/bash VIDEOS_DIR=/webdir/videodir for i in $VIDEOS_DIR/*.flv do yamdi -w -i $i -o ${i}.tmp echo "conversion done on" $i done save above as so...
