Viddler

There is no better way to learn than to see and do. With this in mind we’ve added some simple examples for using PHPViddler, our PHP wrapper for our API, to the PHPViddler zip file.

So far we’ve added some simple GET and POST examples to help you get started. Using our API to retrieve data from Viddler can now be quickly seen and learned from. Posting data to Viddler to edit a video, authenticate a user, or begin the process of recording a video – are all now laid out as simply as possible.

We’ll be adding more examples as we can and we hope this goes a long way to lesson the learning curve of using our API.

We’ve received many requests from some of our customers for a dead simple, open source video uploader in PHP. No frills, no progress bar, no Flash – just a simple foundation on which they can develop their own uploaders. Think of this project as the first step in developing a video uploader for your own Web site.

Well, we’ve put together that project and we’re hosting the source on GitHub (for more of our GitHub projects see this blog post). We’ve now added it to our Project Directory (under PHPviddler since it uses that) and we hope that you find it useful to build your uploaders off of.

Need a bit more? Need a progress bar? Don’t mind using Flash? We’ve also got a plugin for PHPViddler called PHPViddlerUploadify that combines PHPViddler with Uploadify – an open source uploader that enables progress bars. Hopefully between the two of these projects you’ll find it very easy to get uploading to Viddler from your site quickly.

Viddler maintains a public GitHub account for some of our public repositories. Some of the Viddler team members are also on GitHub: cdevroe, kyleslattery, xtat, drkn, phpfunk, ashrewdmint are all official team member accounts.

If you’d like to follow the development of some of our projects, while they are still in development, you can do so by following those accounts on GitHub. Or, you can wait until they’re packaged and ready via this site.
