I am trying to understand the demo on: http://drupalhub.org/videos . Does the plugin embedded media field come with that?
I mean instead of 1 Video or few on the page it goes in slideshow fashion.

Written for Drupal 6, this book is a comprehensive overview of integrating multimedia into your Drupal-powered web site. With hands-on examples and tutorials, the book is written for site developers, themers, and administrators. The book makes no assumptions about your skill level, although one should probably already have an understanding of Drupal and how to set up and configure a basic site. The book will guide you through its topics, gently moving the reader from basic concepts such as module set-up, to intermediate techniques such as creating views, to advanced methods such as writing jQuery and custom modules.
This is a great book. I have bought it myself and it has taught me a lot.

Drupal is the best open source framework.
Here is a list of the Drupal benefits:
Easy to install - Drupal installation described here;
Easy to use - no programming knowledge needed! Read through this tutorial to learn the basics of Drupal. Spend 2 hours administering your site. After that you will feel very familiar with Drupal;
Lots of features, such as custom search engine friendly URLs(SEF), categories, search function;
Lots of modules to add even more functionality to your site;
Flexibility - you can easily turn your drupal installation into a forum, faq, blog, wiki and many other types of web sites;
Free to use, open source. You can freely install drupal and you can modify the source code to fit your needs, if you want;
Lots of users & community - easy to find solutions to your problems. The large community guarantees that Drupal will have a bright future;

The video is great. I used the video to learn how put a Blip.TV video on my website. The step by step video helped me out a lot thanks
Video responses are great for YouTube. People are able to express their opinion about anything they want now, and they can do it without text comments.
Thanks, supreme buy

Youtube API is going to be great for Drupal. It's great to be able to integrate YouTube's video content and fucntionality into a website.

Drupal is better than Wordpress and Joomla. They don't really compare.

Nothing wrong with Joomla. I used it for 2 years and moved to Drupal couple of months back. Joomal is like toy gun. It looks pretty and get easily attracted by kids(beginers). But when you really need some action then you will realize Joomla is just tooy gun useful to showoff.(Show case websites..i mean here). In joomla, user managemet really sucks or there is no user management. In drupal, you can control each page and you can define users in different groups and control their roles. Also, categorization in Drupal is excellent (Taxanomy). Another important thing is SEO and Blogging. This is part of the core in Drupal. In joomla you need to "buy" external modules for that. I can talk for an hour ,.....but to be short...Joomla is good if you want just showoff site. If you are serious about site, go drupal ,...much...much better
I agree with previous poster that says it's too bad it's doens't work in firefox.I would be a great addition.
What's wrong with Joomla!? I have been using it and have found it to be very versatile and extensible. It is week for blogging, but can be stretched into that mode if you want it. It has the Fireboard forum and good video plugins like Allvideos. It's not super easy, but if you have programming experience you can build very feature rich sites with it.
Sorry, forgot the last lines in that function:
drupal_add_js($js, 'inline');
return $output;
}
This is something pretty new for me. I shall be checking the game after giving it a try. Thanks for sharing it.
Yeah I modified the video_filter module for drupal to essentially do this.
[video:linktovideo] (or a link to audio) will add the css for jquery media to handle the display of the media, plus you can control the width and height of the player box, which is more than most other options can do.
I'll post the code to the video_filter issue queue sometime soon, but here's the main stuff:
Add this in the video_filter_codec_info function in the video_filter.codecs.inc file:
$codecs['mediaplayer'] = array('name' => t('MediaPlayer'),
'callback' => 'video_filter_mediaplayer',
//FLV, MP4, MP3, AAC, JPG, PNG and GIF
'regexp' => '/(http.*\.(flv|mp4|mp3|aac|jpg|png|gif|mov))/i',
);
and this function later on in the file:
function video_filter_mediaplayer($video) {
$link = $video['codec']['matches'][1];
//generate unique id for this link:
$id = chr(rand(65,90)).chr(rand(65,90)).chr(rand(65,90)).chr(rand(65,90));
$output = l($link,$link,array('class'=>$id));
$js = "
if (Drupal.jsEnabled) {
$(document).ready(function() {
$.fn.media.defaults.flvPlayer = '/mediaplayer/player.swf';
$.fn.media.defaults.mp3Player = '/mediaplayer/player.swf';
";
$js .= " $('a.".$id."').media( { width: ".$video['width'];
$js .= ", height: ".$video['height'];
$js .= $video['autoplay'] ? ", autoplay: true" : '';
$js .= "} );";
$js .= "
});
}
";
Change the "/mediaplayer/player.swf'" path to the path where you have the flv mediaplayer.
Maybe I could add a filter so it's just simply loaded into content automatically as needed...
Holy cow, that's great work, BrightLoudNoise! That's going to go a long way towards making this a truly professional media solution! Thanks. I'll be glad to merge that into the project when you're ready.
I've taken a stab at skinning the media player, you can see the work in progress http://rogueunicorn.com/node/5, great work so far Aaron!
jmburnz and others are working on a CSS conversion of the Pixture theme. Here's the project page:
http://drupal.org/project/pixture_reloaded
As I've made the other screenshots, might as well include Rob's. (Not as an oversight, I read his blog as well. Just that I had left out Garland until these comments.) Garland FTW!
Hate's a strong word, though I prefer CSS. But that site is another great example, thanks for the link!
Here's a screenshot to that site, that definitely qualifies as minimalist, being only a single column:
Thanks Wim, a good reminder of yet another reason I chose Drupal over Mambo/Joomla all those years ago: Drupal is minimalist at heart, so we can adopt a procedure of adding on rather than stripping down.
I am currently using the A Block theme. So simple that it does not even have sidebars. Brilliant.
I know some people hate it structurally cause of it's use of tables but I've started to become a pretty big fan of Pixture and have started applying it in several different places. Paired with something like Taxonomy Menu module you can create a really basic UI for searching through posts: http://elearning.psu.edu/projects/
Cut out my clutter (as it was said earlier) like the badge, Flir and the top links and it's pretty streamlined / simplistic.
