Known issues:

(Listed in order of severity.)

  • Videos don't always start playing automatically after 'play' icon is clicked. Bumping the seek marker slightly to the right helps. Might be related to doActualPlay in nativeEmbed.js.
  • Find a way to add style="width:352px;" to embed code in 352×240 streams.
  • Search works but has a few issues (punctuation stripped, 'play inline' plays audio although video is paused, search-by-date not yet enabled for all videos)
  • Video playback might take ~6 seconds to start for timecodes towards the end of the meeting (pending seeking support in oggz-chop)



New Features

  • Implement a Vorbis-only option on video streams for low-bandwidth connections.



Scripts needed:

  • Retool download_from_archive_org.php to work with different source videos and meta tags from the Internet Archive. Simultaneously generate Media RSS <items> from the same information, and insert date_start_time into mv_streams.
  • Script to import MetaVidWiki clips from apps that can produce .srt or .cmml captions (e.g., Gnome Subtitles)
  • Find a command-line script that produces .torrents that include multiple HTTP seeds, no tracker, a comment, and "just works" with Mainline.
