Hello, there was almost 2 week since my last post. Last week i had a problem with my login but now everything is fine (thanks to Ercan and Amy). I had joined PBF 2 at the first weekend and subimited 2 patches for the to FIX a problem in contacts component, bugs #10936 and #10680, this was great because i learned more about the core, hope that this could also be useful for the next release.

I used last weekend to research similar systems instead of coding, and I go very ambitious, I tryed drupal filmforge(http://filmforge.koumbit.net/) which can be used to create video sharing portal, and osTube a Media Management System whith the same propose but the host need to have many other softwares installed that most host dont have. Also thake a look to other popular streaming sites like Metacafe and brightcove, both had bean add to denVideo. the new divx webplayer for HD, and a very popular popular flv player JW Player which is used by many plugins, youtube new api is the coolets thing i found, but as me and Matheus agreed that the most important thing is to make It generic and flexible to handle many different formats and the most relevant streaming server.

I had developed component Global Configurations and fixed all bugs Matheus reported, then I had created denVideo 3.0 beta: add support to mp3, divx, mp4, wmv, metacafe.com, fixed embed codes to support "all" browser, the most medias are add validated to html standards, but Opera bugged with brightcove so i had to use an EMBED tag for it, divx, quicktime and windows media, dont work well without EMBED so i had to use it anyway. Before soc i had talked to 1Pixelout plugin to join his playser with denVideo and he agreed that it was a good idea, and now mp3 files can be played in denVideo, also include the popular JWPlayers tha can handle FLV, MP4, MP3, AAC, JPG, PNG and GIF, this week the realesd the v4.0 and denVideo is the first joomla plugin to use It! The user can select what player to use in plugin global configurations, and customise JW Player params and youtube api params, the autostart now works with all supported format, I refactored the code so it will work better with JMultimedia, you can also use the good and old 2KB FLVPlayer for FLV videos.

As I talked before JMultimedia like many other extensions use comments (a very simple one), one thing that i missing in joomla is generic comments system that can be used by any extension (like categories), so I started developed the comments system integrated in com_jmultimedia but with generic algorithms, so to day I split the comments into an other component UniComments (Universal Comments), is published on SVN, it uses 'section' to indicate the content component, default section if not found is 'com_content', to text on other component use the URL http://www.sitename.com/index.php?option=com_unicomments§ion=com_componentname\
I had tested it with JMultimedia and is working, but the component submenu is always replaced In categories component i didnt found why categories doesnt replace,

So there cames the time to work in the frontend... I had created the frontend usecase, and organized the folders struture, the next step is to configure the Jmultimedia menu Items, and simple list and play features.

     Coming Soon... Milestone III
