AS3, PHP, MySQL, Java.






This was a huge project for Hula hoops, the whole site is UGC based; users can upload and manage their videos as well as rate other videos on the site.
The backend was very complex, there was a server dedicated to encoding videos, a server for hosting another for the database and finally cloud storage for media files. The entire backend had to communicate and share files, passing them between the web-server, encoding server and cloud sever.

The video encoder require I develop my own FLV encoder based off FFmpeg for Java, this encoder took the original file and also spliced in a pre-roll video and a post-roll video. Quite a task, although the end result is a very smooth process for the user. Along with this I also built the entire php site, database and flash player…quite the project.
