I'm happy to listen that you working hardly and make efforts to make MediaCore Installation independent from using Mod_wsgi on shared hosting and make it easy with WEB Install without have access to shell.
I have a question on can I use MediaCore for personal videos without option for users to upload videos except from the backend (administration)?
I want to use MediaCore as a platform both Front-end and Back-end with Flowplayer as a Player, Wowza Media Server as a Stream Server, but disable the ability of users to upload video in my site.
This great platform make me happy and I waiting for upcoming release to make certain test on shared hosting (icdsoft.com).
Using MediaCore for personal video only!

Hi Deep,
You're right that MediaCore 0.8 will not require mod_wsgi (it will be able to run with mod_fastcgi). However, installing MediaCore 0.8 will still require shell access.
The reason for this is that no webhost currently has an automated way to install Python applications. Most web-hosts don't even have the most common Python libraries installed already (like the Python Imaging Library and MySQL-Python). There is, unfortunately, no way for us to package those two libraries--they must be compiled for exact version of Python on the server. For the foreseeable future, installing MediaCore will require shell access.
Regarding your question about removing the ability to upload from the front-end interface, we've considered making this a feature you can enable/disable with a checkbox on the back-end, but I don't think we'll have it ready for the next release. It should still be fairly simple to do: you can just remove the upload methods from the media.py controller, and remove the 'upload' button from the main frontend template (I think it's in helpers.html).
