More Details on Our Workflow with Kolibri Studio
Dear Richard,
Thank you for your quick response and kind words! It’s exciting to hear that other organizations have explored similar setups over the years—we’re glad to be part of this journey.
As I briefly mentioned in the description, here’s a more detailed overview of our current workflow and plans:
Our complete system consists of:
A central platform at our HQ, connected to the Eutelsat teleport. This platform handles the transmission of files and live TV channels in HLS format, all encapsulated in IP using the new DVB-NIP protocol.
A standard satellite receiver, similar to those used in households, but equipped with custom software. This receiver captures the signal, interprets its structure, and deencapsulates the content. Once deencapsulated, it deposits the received files and live channel streams onto a Tiny server.
A tiny server (8GB RAM, 250GB storage) connected to the DVB-S2 satellite receiver. When users (e.g., students, teachers) are within the server’s Wi-Fi range or on the same local network, they can access the live HLS streams and browse the stored files. This tiny server also integrates Kolibri.
Here’s what we’re currently doing and planning:
Preparing educational content Kolibri Format (classes, channels,…) We’re figuring this out and need help here.
Preparing other simple content (video capsules, quizzes, PDFs, Word docs, etc.) at our HQ. We know how to do this.
Sending the content via the teleport. We know how to do this.
Receiving it on the tiny server. We know how to do this.
Integrating it into Kolibri. We’re figuring this out and need help here.
Making it visible as classes, resources, or channels for users connected to the server (students, teachers, etc.). We know the basics but are looking to refine this process.
We hope this overview gives you the insights needed to better understand our project. We’re particularly eager to optimize the integration of our content into Kolibri Studio and ensure it’s seamlessly accessible to our end users. Any guidance or suggestions you could offer on this front would be greatly appreciated!
Looking forward to your thoughts.
Kind regards,
Abdelhamid
