Hey guys,
I'm currently stuck between making an important decision for my site. A little back story first:
I transitioned over to EasySocial from phpFox. If you're familiar with phpFox, you'll know that they had included a video section that allows members to share/upload videos all connected to their profile. Before my transition, I have had a lot of members share videos to my site. Currently, all the links (either from search engines or back links) that visitors are clicking on are leading to a 404 page, which is expected. I'd like to remedy this as soon as possible.
My issue? Well, do I wait for EasySocial to release 1.3.0. that will include the video section? According to the Roadmap, this section hasn't been started yet. To go this route, I'd need a really close estimate on when to expect the video feature to become available.
Or:
I spoke with "Apptha" the developer for HDVideoShare and they're planning to integrate with EasySocial at some point, I just can't get a when. They also, will do custom work for me to integrate at an additional cost. HDVideoShare is already $150 then I'll have to account for the cost of custom development which I have not received an estimate for yet.
Routes I could take:
I could wait for the EasySocial team to release 1.3.0. with the video feature.
I could just use HDVideoShare and not integrate with EasySocial for the time being until they release an official release that includes integration
Purchase HDVideoShare plus custom development.
I'm leaning towards using HDVideoShare as I can begin fixing my 404'd video links immediately but am willing to wait a little while (few more weeks) until EasySocial 1.30...As having all of my components/sections within 1 developer is much preferred.
What would you guys recommend?
