Modify the dashboard

Jamroom Developers

Thanks,

The other part of the question is if its possible to make the panels link to a report in the acp?

Modify the dashboard

Jamroom Developers

How do I add additional options to the ACP dashboard. I understand how to add things that are already in the edit drop down. I want to be able to display other data I want to track. e.g. # of songs added, total sales, etc...

Additionally, is it possible to make the box linkable to a report or tool in the acp?

Deep linking to preview file

Jamroom Developers

What about putting twitter on the allowed domains list?

The key here is that I only want to give access to the preview file. I'd be worried that someone on the twitter domain can access ALL the files in the folder if they figured out the naming conventions.

Can you elaborate on custom stream view? I didn't see anything in documentation. Could that be used for this?

Deep linking to preview file

Jamroom Developers

I am trying to push an mp4 of my preview file to twitter for use in their new Player Cards. We need to give twitter the URL of the mp4 in the data folder. Is there to whitelist a specific site to allow deep linking of a specific file (e.g. /data/media/1/1/19/sample.mp4)

Email change validation

Jamroom Developers

While you're at it, on the registration and account/profile settings, it would be great if we could have type ahead validation (using ajax) on email addresses and user names so user does not have to submit form to see if name is taken.

Email change validation

Is there a way to force users to re-validate their email if they make a change to their email in account settings?

s3 and conversion server

Jamroom Developers

Wow
MNX is pretty cheap. This is the beauty of using a real SOA. It really shouldn't matter who i use to host my conversion servers (although there is a lot of data transfer overhead and bandwidth costs involved in using different providers)

I just want to be able to fire up an instance provide credentials, and have the server listen for jobs; not just ffmpeg, but sox, imagemgk, bpm detection tools, key detection looks, or any other media processing that is cpu intensive).

I think there is also something to be said for auto-scaling. Being able to monitor capacity of existing transcoder cluster and spin up additional servers on demand can really help if you have very spikey encoding demands. No sense leaving servers running unnecessarily.

Is it safe to say that one worker queue job is allocated per core? Does that apply to any queue task?

I was actually referring to optimizing the server specs and the OS.

Alternate sample files

Jamroom Developers

How/where do I tell the player to call a sample file with a different file name?

In other words, how does the player know which sample file to play?

s3 and conversion server

Jamroom Developers

I agree, the .small server size on AWS is probably not a good apples to apples comparison. I was just trying to find something to compare based on your 2GB base requirement. However, like I said, in the long term, I think my storage and bandwidth cost have a much greater impact than computing. Under real loads, I think you can probably optimize things quite a bit. Amazon offers many more configurations as well.

I'll take a closer look at VPS. But even if I do switch over, I'd still definitely use different provider for storage and BW at scale; most likely s3 and cloudfront. VPS would be way to expensive.

I'd be curious on the specs for configuring the conversion server. I'm sure it can be optimized for conversion (more cores/memory). I'd love to start getting it set up.

We are also currently doing some modification to our media modules that use the conversion tools, so I want to make sure my changes will work with conversion server. That's why I was asking for it again. Hopefully we can see a beta next week.
