Cool, I was sure it would be interesting for some.<div><br></div><div>What it does is simply replace the <img/> elements in the Grid of OpenLayers with <video/> elements. So, it works only with HTML5 support. We have a use case here with density data and I have implemented it as an extension to OpenLayers as mentioned. Unfortunately, it's still in alpha/beta, so it's not public yet. And also (surprisingly) it does not work correctly in Google Chrome but in Firefox.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You can pull from the mentioned repo to test it out. </div><div><br></div><div>Basically on the WMS side I simply cached the n layers (one for each frame) and then wrote a shell script to append those images to a video with ffmpeg. On the mapcache side I used a trick to fool it the correct mime type. So, it only works with a full cache. We used MapServer and MapCache for this.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We are thinking of presenting this with our use case at one of the upcoming conferences. Interested? Please reply here.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Tim</div><div><br>Twitter: @timhheuer<br>

I'm working for GNS but based down in Landcare in NZ. VideoWMS sounds<br>
very much like something I have down my to-do list. Could you explain a<br>
bit more about what it does?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
