Hi,

I am very new to Drupal and PHP. I plan on starting a e-learning site with videos using Drupal. The videos are in Clipstream's proprietary format http://www.clipstream.com/. Clipstream is a java-based playerless streaming media app - just like Cortado.

I looked at the Video.module in Drupal. I want to create a similar node type in Drupal - except that this node type will work with only Clipstream videos.

How do I create this new node type? I installed Flexinode.module but have not got it to work successfully - may be I am not doing it correctly.

What would be the right approach - create a new node type or should I consider building a module like the Video.module? Is it possible to extend the Video.module so that Clipstream can also be accomodated?

I am so new to all this - I would sincerely appreciate any guidance that I can get.

Thanks in advance,

Jojo

I see your post dates since 2006, did you have any luck getting it to work? Or what other solutions have you been looking at?

I'm in the same situation as you were back then, I would certainly appreciate any help to find out which way to go.

Thanks
