Hi, I was just wondering how video for Easysocial was going to be implemented.

Is it going to be like the photo galleries? Are photo and video going to be merge like WHDmediashare is doing?

I personally believe that it would be amazing to have a "unity" view of a user media (photo, video and hopefully music later on). HWDmediashare is the only component that make possible to create albums, galleries or playlists that include any type of media and this is make a lot of sense. For example, why should we have to create a "august" album in photo and another one in video when they should all be in the same album? If not user have to go see the photo and then after look for the videos... Not really user friendly.

Then simply create modules to only show videos or photos...

If this isn't the plan, will there be an integration with WHDmediashare in the future?

Thanks.
Thanks for the heads up on this aikigi

Hello,

I believe HWDMediashare is already working on integrating with EasySocial in one of their newer versions

Hi Mark,

Is Video for Easysocial will follow the way HWDmediashare managed medias or will it be a complete separated section from easysocial photo gallery?

Thanks.

Hello aikigi,

We are planning to separate it from photos because it's a different section altogether I am not really sure how confusing it would be if it was merged together?

Hello Mark,

I think that the power of HWDmediashare is that you can choose how to present the media. See only photos, only videos... but in the mean time all medias can be part of the same page and have a complete overview of all media as well as the possibility to add any type of media in one album.

I think it make more sense that way as if for example a member create a new album, then other members can see everything related to this album at once (photos, videos, etc). It can be very useful for music or art/artist community base for example. If an artist create a new project and want to document it, he can simply create one album and have the photos, the videos, the music and storyboard document in the same place. So much easier to share and promote...

I don't think it would be more confusing as it would make less page to visit to upload media and create albums, Only one page to visit to see all medias (or select "only see photos"...) and when they realize that they can see a photo of and a video of the same event side by side, I think we get a better discovery and sharing possibility

This is just my wish
I hope that the HWDmediashare would have a deep integration making possible to completely remove the default photo and video from easysocial, use it for group if wanted... as having multiple media section in one site make it very non-user friendly And that the problem with Jomsocial.

Have a good day.
