1.1.0 and above will be focused on helping people migrate towildcard.mediaMotivations behind this choiceRedTurtle Video have a very long history and we loved it, but it’s fate is linked to the status ofcollective.flowplayer, which is not very clear and still based on a very old
release of Flowplayer based on Flash technology.
Plone 4.3 compatibility works… more or less (you will experience some issues originated by
changes done in collective.flowplayer > 3).But this is not the main motivation: meanwhile the web moved on (HTML 5 is here!) and a new promising
(Dexterity based) product is available:wildcard.media.Wereallythink that Plone will live better with a single, well done and mainained product
instead of having two or more.All future versions of RedTurtle Video will help people moving on, migrating to this new
package, and our future work will be probably focused on contributing tothatpackage instead.RedTurtle Video is still your best friend if you need Plone < 4.3 compatibility.How to migrate?Go to youportal_setupZMI tool and run the “RedTurtle Video: migrate to wildcard.media”
Generic Setup profile.
After that: uninstall RedTurtle Video and remove it from your buildout.NB:Products.contentmigrationis required, and you must rely on
version 2.1.8 or better:[buildout]
...

[versions]
...
Products.contentmigration = 2.1.8Limitationswildcard.media is not perfect (yet). There’s a big feature that is missing: supporting other
remote video sources different from YouTube.We will probably work on this in future.RedTurtle Video Features(…in case you still want to use RedTurtle Video…)This add to your Plone portal two new types:Video filefor providing a video content directly from a video file compatible with flowplayer
formats. In the video view you can copy/paste the video embedding code, for seeing this video in other
sites.Video linkfor a remote video resourceAlso you can insert theyearof the video and theduration.A “Look” section will also give you fields for:add an optional image field, for the video screenshot/splashscreen datavideo display sizeInternal videoAdd to your site a new “Video file”, then provide a video format compatible withFlowplayer.
When you save it RedTurtle Video try to take from the video source some metadata like thedurationand video size (width and height). Later you can modify those values manually.If you provided also the image field, this can be used (optionally) as video starting splash image.
All other amazing features came directly from the power ofcollective.flowplayer.Migrate from basic collective.flowplayer fileIf you already usedcollective.flowplayerin your site for manage internal video and now you want
to migrate them to RedTurtle “Video file” contents, you can use the@@flowplayer-video-migrationview.
You need to have installed alsoProducts.contentmigration.Please,backupyour data before trying this!iOS devices compatibilityUsing collective.flowplayer you have no compatiblity with iPhone/iPad/iWhatever devices as far as they
don’t support Flash technology.Using RedTurtle Video and providing:a splash screen imagea compatible video format likemp4…you will be able to use also those kind of devices.Remote videoAlways wrappingcollective.flowplayerfeatures, you can provide a special kind of link that point to
a compatible format resource. Again you can play with all additional fields, adjusting video size and
metadata.The link can be to a remote site that hostflvof other compatible types, or a link to an “Video file”
in the same Plone site.Remote video providersOne of the most interesting feature is the support toURL to 3rd party remote video serviceslike:YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/) - usingcollective.rtvideo.youtubeVimeo (http://www.vimeo.com/) - usingcollective.rtvideo.vimeoMetacafe (http://www.metacafe.com/) - usingcollective.rtvideo.metacafeEnhancing this list with additional providers is quite simple (see thedocumentationgiven with the product).
You are welcome to contribute and release othercollective.rtvideo.yourpreferredremoteserviceadd-on!PortletAlso this will give you a new “Video gallery” portlet, similar to the ones you’ll get withcollective.flowplayer(“Video player”).This portlet will show links to a configurable set of videos, displaying in the portlet the splash image.You can still use basic “Video player” portlet given bycollective.flowplayer.Default sizeDefault video size (that you can change from the “Look” fieldset) is 400x300. You can change this default
going to ZMI, inportal_propertiesand change values inredturtle_video_properties.RequirementsTested on all Plone versions from 3.3 to 4.3, with many compatible collective.flowplayer versions.InstallationUsing buildout:[buildout]
