I'm not currently working on it, but some months ago i did a research on some tools to integrate a player in a video repository. For me http://videojs.com seemed a simple and working solution with mp4/h264 video, it can display native html5 <media> or flash fallback. tricks that could help serving mp4 files: mp4 (encoded with ffmpeg) needs to be fixed to enable pseudo streaming (by moving metadata and offset information to the front of the file) with a tool like: https://github.com/danielgtaylor/qtfaststart http://multimedia.cx/qt-faststart.c there is also an apache module for this: http://h264.code-shop.com/trac/wiki/Mod-H264-Streaming-Apache-Version2 i'll take a look at https://github.com/jronallo/sli_video ciao -- raffaele
