Hardware / Software Requirements for "ShareMixer"
-
A Linux server or a BSD server:
Tested distributions are: Fedora Core, CentOS, Ubuntu Server and Debian (for Linux) and FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD. You may use a dedicated server or standard (shared) hosting, as long as it supports the requirements mentioned in this page (this kind of shared hosting is generally referred to as "FFMpeg hosting"). Most of the following requirements are standard in a default "LAMP" (Linux Apache Mysql PHP) server:
- Apache http server:
Tested are all 1.3.x and 2.x versions. "Mod_rewrite" has to be installed and working on your Apache server (for SEO links to work).
-
MySQL server:
Required is a version version 4.1.x or higher (also supporting MySQL 4.0.x, but with fall-back on unicode support and security enhancements). Tested compatible MySQL versions are up to 5.1.22-rc.
-
PHP scripting engine:
Supported are all PHP versions 4.4.3 or higher and all PHP 5 versions (tested versions are up to 5.2.6). -
PHP configuration:
--> PHP configured with Apache's "mod_php" (PHP used as a 'dso' module). Also supporting PHP environments using PHP with "suexec" or with "SUPHP". "The software DOES NOT WORK on servers using PHP configured with "CGI", "Fast-CGI" or "FCGid".
---> The appropriate Ioncube Loader file installed with the PHP configuration of your server. This is optional, as you can use the run-time Ioncube Loader files, provided by the "ShareMixer" distribution.
---> "GD Library" version 2.x installed in PHP, with support for FreeType fonts, for the verification images to work.
---> Ability of PHP to run from the command line (CLI), supporting the "exec()" command. - CGI-Bin access:
- FFMPeg with LAME, libogg and libvorbis support:
This extra server-side software is required for automatic conversion of the uploaded videos to the Flash VideoTM format and to get video information through PHP (duration of videos etc) and create video thumbnails. - Mencoder-Mplayer:
This extra server-side software is required for legacy conversion of the uploaded videos to the Flash VideoTM format and for legacy support for creating video thumbnails and getting video information (these Mencoder functions are used only in case FFmpeg fails to execute them). - Ruby On Rails & FLVtool2:
This extra server-side software is required to inject meta-data to the converted videos (key-frames, tags, title, etc). FLVTool2 is used for that and it depends on Ruby On Rails to work.
Although "ShareMixer" itself is an innovative product, our innovative thinking did not stop
on the application itself! We decided to offer "ShareMixer" on a monthly-license, software-as-a-service-style basis,
additionally to the usual "one time" licensing method. We believe this to be the most beneficial route
to follow, as the best pricing model for our customers. Here's why:
• A monthly pricing model lowers barriers to entry-level customers. In other words, by spreading what would normally be a much higher fixed cost over a number of months, our customers can more easily start using "ShareMixer", without having to justify substantial up-front investments.
• A monthly pricing model lowers risk. A corollary to the above point is that with a monthly pricing system, there is very minimal risk involved in using "ShareMixer" -- if you don't like the application (although we think such is impossible!) you can just not renew your license!
• A monthly pricing model makes for more stable development. Software development processes are traditionally very static -- new software releases and updates are slow, and that is often a result of "peaks and troughs" in the software company's investment in development. With a monthly pricing model, the cash flow resources of "ShareMixer" are more stable and in turn this allows continuous development, without the need for lengthy spans between releases and improvements.
• A monthly pricing model fits more flexibly with web-hosting models. There's a good reason why most hosted SaaS applications are based on monthly pricing models; the underlying web-hosting architecture for those applications is usually based on a monthly pricing model, too.
