Hi all,
My semester is finally ending so I'm able to slowly start working towards the Metavidwiki GSoC project - very exciting! After chatting with Michael a while back I've started working on integrating flowplayer with mv_embed (http://metavid.opengov.org/irclog/metavid.log.20Apr2008.html).
Anyway, after updating from the repository today I ran into a few snags that should perhaps be documented (and I'd be happy to add them to the wiki if appropriate). One thing that came up was that Metavidwiki has a dependency on GD, which might not be a problem for most people but PHP that comes with OS X doesn't support GD :-(. There are some downloadable packages that do (e.g. http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/) so there's an easy fix - should I add this info to the wiki?
Also, I needed to change permissions on the stream_images directory or MV_StreamImage.php complains. I don't remember that from the install instructions - should I add this info somewhere as well?
Thanks,
Stjepan
yea I have updated the Help:Install page on metavid (basically just copied the README) ... feel free to add in GD dependency info and stream_images permission stuff http://metavid.ucsc.edu/wiki/index.php/Help:Installation
