Suggestion for supporting Amazon S3
-
Terrific idea for a plugin!
Unfortunately, most folks are going to turn elsewhere for hosting their media files … with Amazon S3 being the most likely candidate. Given that, here’s a suggestion for easily adding the ability to import all the ID3 data, build the sermons in SM, and link them to the proper .mp3 on S3.
1. Include an option for “Link to S3 file”
2. User types in the address that includes the bucketname the files are expected to be in (e.g., https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/oceansideurc-media/resources).
3. User points to a bunch of MP3 files and its “Upload” … BUT, instead of uploading each mp3 to the web server it simply does the following for each:
a) Grab the ID3 data and build the sermon in SM
b) Set the SM link to the <link-to-s3-bucket>/<media-filename>.<media-extension>The user would be responsible for making sure everything is up in that S3 bucket.
Anyhow, just an idea to make a useful plugin invaluable!
Thanks – wg
