Video Files: Index File Name?

Apr-28-2006, 02:26 PM

Hi,

Is there some way for me to index video files by filename with Zoom?

Experimenting I came up with this in my search results when I do a search for "wmv".

3. No title
... Expanding Breakfast. wmv ...
Terms matched: 1 - Score: 15 - 24 Mar 2006 - URL: ../zindex/Expanding Breakfast.wmv

That one works great, when I click on the No Title link it opens the video.

However, when I click on the link in this result:

11. No title
... Vehicle Safety Series-Video #4 Parking Lot Hazards. wmv ...
Terms matched: 1 - Score: 15 - 24 Mar 2006 - URL: ../zindex/Vehicle Safety Series - Video #4 Parking Lot Hazards.wmv

I get a page not found error.

Preferably I'd like the title of the file to show up where it says "No Title" and for all the links to work. Can you make any suggestions? This would be a lot easier than creating html documents with meta data for each file.

Thanks!

-Matt

The current version of Zoom doesn't support searching for video files very well.

So the best solution is to make a small HTML file for each video and don't try to index the video files directly.

Code:

<html><head> <title>Video - My breakfast in Paris</title> <meta name="DESCRIPTION" content="Having breakfast in Paris with the Eiffel tour & Seine int the foreground"> </head> <body> [url="../movies/breakfast.wmv"]Watch the breakfast in Paris video[/url] </body>

In V5 we might improve this to at least support searching video directly by file name.
