    Hi there,

    I run a marketplace and I'd like my users to upload a video upon creating a listing which then displays on their listing page to the public.

    What's the best way to do this? I tried Uploadify but it doesn't seem to be working for videos larger than 10MB, I need a 50MB limit.

    Also, is there a way to allow users to OPTIONALLY upload video using their YouTube video link, for example, they fill in their YouTube video URL which then displays the video on the public listing page?

    Thank you so much, I'm at wits end with this!

    What software do you use for your website, because alot of software has plugins for this I know that Subrion and wordpress have this and I am sure that joomla probably does to.

    Hey Nicholas, just custom PHP.

    Is there an easy way to allow users to paste their YouTube video URL, to then display on our website? I believe Fiverr used to use a similar method.

    Thanks!

    Are there any scripts that anyone knows of?

    A good one to allow users to upload their youtube video URL to my website which then displays on their auction page (as a video) would be great.

    Thanks

    Yes, there is multiple ways.
    • Using oEmbed. http://oembed.com/ Use oEmbed, so your user can paster youtube url and write a service to request image and embeded code.
    • Upload to youtube from your website. Since file size is 50MB < your server won't consume lots of power, and all the encoding is done by youtube, so there is no problem.
    • Use custom script to encode by ffmpeg. You need ffmpeg to installed in your server.

    This is the money here. Don't waste time getting them to upload to your server - they can upload to YouTube and then just embed the URL on their listings.

    Hi,

    I'm looking for a developer to take a project, similar to what's described above, in short, Customers will submit a video along with other fields, the data is stored to a database. Then there will be Vendors who can sign up and watch the video under some rules. If anyone is interested or know of anyone who's interested please let me know and I will send full decription. Thanks.
