I am creating a music website for a client, previously I had a backend system that would manage the music section, however the client wishes to have all the music pulled from sound cloud. Currently there's 1 album, but a second is planned to be released shortly.
My question is how to have the website automatically pull the separate album (or playlist) songs through php and display each album in it's own shell. For example, the website would have for each album the artwork and then the list of playable songs.
I've looked at the documentation and across google but there doesn't seem to be any way to have a website auto-generate each album. Does anyone know how to achieve this (preferably though php) or know where I can find out?

I have made a small html website which uploads your video onto my website, by saving the video reference in mySQL and displaying all files in the database on a website, I have done this successfully, but I am not able to play videos in realtime like YouTube, i need to download the video aand view it on my own desktop player... I wish to in a way stream the URl from the database playing on the website ... if that makes sense!
Thank you fellow Community Members.
Provide some more data please. Like what path do you use, etc.
I am working on a project where I need to come up with a web UI for user-training videos. I have a collection of videos stored on a server as mp4 files. Since these videos are internal to the company, I could not share it on public sites like youtube/vimeo. That is the reason I am trying to come up with a simple interface to display the videos as thumbnails and open a pop-up player.
How can I do that with PHP? Any suggestions would be very helpful.
For thumbnails you can take a deeper look into ffmepg and ffprobe. You can make Screenshots and extract info with the help of it.
Get ffmpeg information in friendly way
With the help of shell_exec you can start it with php.
You could do a Cronjob, which saves the information of new videos in the Database, so the Frontend User, can get the information quickly without waiting 5 seconds or more for pageload.
For the Video it self, i think you should google for
html 5 video control

I would like to add on the webpage two embedded youtube videos: one with song clip (LEFT) and the other with song lyrics or translation(RIGHT). The RIGHT video is made by me, so if I play them offline in two windows the lyrics are synchronized with clip. The videos are uploaded then to youtube.
The question is: how can I "join" these two videos online, so user will have just one play/pause button, and if he jumps for example to 0:12 - both videos jump to 0:12. Is that possible?
I can't make a one video with both clip and lyrics, as might someone suggest. The RIGHT video with lyrics can be in different languages, while the song clip is the same.
Thanks
You could do this with xuggler. http://www.xuggle.com/xuggler/
You would need some bits on the server to do the work and stream the results.
Xuggler is quite fast assuming you have all the videos available at request time. If you are forced to dl them from YouTube and then combine them it might get more exciting.
as of now an incomplete answer. to be completed when plugin described is built.
You could build this with Acorn, a media remixing javascript library.
The capabilities to do this (side-by-side videos) is not there yet out of the box (I've added an issue to the acorn-player repository).
All that needs to be done is build a shell (acorn-player plugin) that embeds two pieces of media side by side, and let acorn do the youtube api play-syncing heavy lifting.
I am looking for some open source or commercial script which can allow me to have a gallery component in my website. This component will allow users to publish photos
(add title, album name, small description) and also let them provide their video urls from youtube. For youtube videos also they will provide the title, album name and small description.
Another nice to have feature would be to let users vote on these photos and videos.
Does anyone know of any script that can be easily integrated in symfony php framework?

There is nothing written that meets your exact requirements - but there this could be a starting point - or at least give you some ideas of how to store / manage assets -> http://www.symfony-project.org/plugins/sfAssetsLibraryPlugin
I have a user that wants to be able to upload photo's to his website, and then be able to choose which album he wants them to appear in. I already have the albums hard coded on the site, but he wants the ability to add more.
Does anyone know of a script or cms or something that this can easily and cheaply be implemented or am I going to have to develop all of this from scratch?
Gallery 2 is my go-to. It's powering several large website's galleries around the web.
If you're very picky (as several of my clients have been) you can query image information out of the DB and build your own front-end. I've done several photographer's websites this way. There is even a desktop upload tool that can be downloaded if desired.
There is no cost at all.
This seems to be the cheapest and most complete solution I found. Slick Gallery
This one also seems like it would work well
PhotoCMS
For Image management I have used and recommend http://coppermine-gallery.net/
