Project Title #

Video Support

Background #

The asset framework provides a set of functionalities that are common to several different content types. It was initially created to be able to add tags to blog entries, wiki pages, web content, etc without having to reimplement this same functionality over and over. Since then, it has grown to add more functionalities and it has been made possible to use the framework for custom applications even if they are implemented within a plugin.

The term asset is used as a generic way to refer to any type of content regardless of whether it's purely text, an external file, a URL, an image, an record in an online book library, etc.

Use Cases #

Creating web content that includes video
Managing (Versioning, workflow) for videos

The Problem #

Currently, Liferay's asset system is not aware of videos. While it is possible to embed videos via <object> tags, videos must be hosted on a separate site (e.g. YouTube) and included as javascript. There is no control over video content, presentation UI, or other aspects that Liferay's web content framework provides.

The Solution #

For this project, add a new type of asset into Liferay's asset management system that is capable of handling video. This includes:

New Asset Type for video
Storage of Video asets into Liferay's document library
Integration with local streaming services (e.g. a separate Digital Asset Management system)
Integration with consumer video platforms (youtube, etc).

Skills Needed #

Required: Java, JSP, JavaScript, CSS
Nice to have: Struts, Liferay, AlloyUI

Prerequisites #

None.

Deliverables #

Complete code changes to Liferay 6 to enable video assets to be managed through Liferay's Asset and Web Content frameworks.
Unit tests for all new and changed code.
