Ahh. I’m right along with you – I’m at the pull URLs back to local site using ???? step

CCK Link would be the answer? – I was going to research the CCK field types to determine which one would be best to hold the URL.

Is the linking of the flash player to the URL done in the theme then? – or is there a view module that can do that?

(too bad embedded media fields don’t talk S3 – that would seem to be a good fit – maybe I will try and see if that would be hard to add)

Thanks for any insight you (or Rob) can add from your lessons learned.

Hey Steve,
Just an FYI that may help you out in this process. We discovered early on that we couldn’t store files from S3 in our CCK filefields. Therefore, our fileflow looks like this:

Upload originals to local filefield -> process with FFMPEG -> move files to S3 -> pull file URLs back to the local site using CCK Link field (not filefield) -> remove original filefield file from local server

We do this process for each file needed. So the result is that the local site has no filefield files, it simply has CCK link fields pointing to the processed files on S3.

Hopefully that’s helpful.

We are using Media Mover to move things to S3, but the integration was done by MustardSeed, I’ll see if I can more details for you.

Sweet!! Great to see this up and running! Looks beautiful.

I noticed you were using S3. Are you using media mover to move things to S3 or some other method?

I’m in the middle of converting our sermons from audio to filefield+S3. I’ve got it mostly working but need to figure out how to get the S3 URL back into the node for display. Any tips?

Hopefully I can make the Oct IT RT
