Tobira is a video portal for Opencast. It provides a hierarchical page structure, with each page consisting of simple configurable content blocks (e.g. text, videos or series). Opencast content (series or single events) can be shown on these pages. Users can upload, edit (via external editor) and share their videos.
The current version of our main branch is deployed at https://tobira.opencast.org. This is just a test deployment and all data is wiped whenever it is re-deployed. The test data was kindly provided by the ETH only for the purpose of this test deployment.
Tobira (扉) is Japanese for "door", "hinged door" or "front page" (of a book). A video portal is a kind of door, so we chose that name. It is also short and somewhat pronounceable for English speaking people.
