Hi guys, I would like to introduce you my new android app called MicroStock Sales. It's completely free, I earn money from advertisement.

At this time, it's pretty simple, just check your balances of: iStock, Shutterstock, Fotolia, Dreamstime, Pond5, and calculate the total value. I have planned following functions to add but they need time:
1. Support more agents.
2. Background refresh timer.
3. Desktop widget that can show the total balance.

If you are interested, please check out:

Any questions or suggestions please send to fisherss(A)gmail.com

Thank you.

Hi guys, I have done some testing and research about symbiostock in my virtualbox and would like share with you about my views for video suppot.

I just noticed symbiostock doesn't store media files into database, even watermarked previews.
It stores previews in:
www/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/symbiostock_rf_content/
and final full resolution files in:
www/wordpress/symbiostock_rf/

so perhaps it makes video support more easily. My idea is, we can just add more directories like:
www/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/symbiostock_video_thumbs
www/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/symbiostock_video_previews
www/wordpress/symbiostock_video_1920x1080
www/wordpress/symbiostock_video_1280x720
The first two store thumbnails and previews, which are open to buyers, the last two(or more) store the final clips, which need payment to download.
What a videographer need to do, basically, are generating and uploading related files to above directories.

Let's have a look at this example:
You have a video clip named 2013-my-dog.mov, with 1920x1080 resolution, to get this clip online(on sale), you need to do:
1. Generate the thumbnail,preview,and low-resolution final clips. In this case, they are: 2013-my-dog.jpg 2013-my-dog.flv 2013-my-dog.mov(720 version)
2. Upload
      2013-my-dog.jpg to symbiostock_video_thumbs
      2013-my-dog.flv to symbiostock_video_previews
      2013-my-dog.mov(720 version) to symbiostock_video_1280x720
      2013-my-dog.mov(1080 version) to symbiostock_video_1920x1080
3. Tell symbiostock the index file name "2013-my-dog", attach metadata(keywors,description etc.) to this index name.
4. Publish.

For this idea, what we need to work on is making symbiostock scripts record the metadata into database and correctly show the elements on the final purchasing pages, which I am really not good at ........ so that would be very nice if any PHP programer can implement these functions.

BTW, I haven't tested, but batch processing video clips should be easy with correct tools like mencoder.
