PHP Port #12

Closed hoeness2 closed 11 years ago

hoeness2 commented 11 years ago

NodeJS is great.

But it has too much dependencies. So my Question is: Is it possible to port codem-transcode and codem-schedule to PHP without loss of features ? When yes then i will start porting to PHP and release it here on Github.

I love the UI built on Twitter Bootstraped.

Yes, you could port them to PHP, but I'm not sure if that would make things easier for you. Specifically for the transcoder we chose Node.js due to it's ability to handle long-running processes (the ffmpeg transcoders) and non-blocking IO (being able to respond to other requests while transcoding). I don't think PHP is a very good match for spawning and maintaining long-running processes. Either way, we don't have any plans to port it to PHP or support it, but you're free to do so of course, the license is MIT.
