open associated media plugin

[Gmail PK]

Hi,

Someone (don't remember who) wrote an "open associated media plugin" and
sent it via the ML.
Could it be merge in the jBrout code ?

Would you be so kind, create some documentation for it, and create a
proper merge request to my repo (https://gitorious.org/jbrout/jbrout) or
send a proper patch to this list? I am not sure what does it do and I
think we should stop adding more undocumented blobs of unclear code to
the codebase (I am not talking about unittests yet, but I hope we can
get there as well someday).

Thank you,

Matěj

I did that patch. I'll see if I can do that this weekend. What kind of documentation do you suggest? I guess I'll need a glorious account.

I don't know how to submit a "merge request". I never used an online git repository (I only work on repos on LAN and shares). Do I need a gitorious account ?

Anyway, here is the patch against your repo.

As for documentation, I'm not too sure, but I can a few notes: For this plugin, I use the notion of associated videos, meaning that if a video has a JPEG thumbnail with the same name (except the extension), then the video is associated with this thumbnail. It does not enable to move/rename videos using this thumbnail, but at least, one can tag/date/comment/search the thumbnail, and from the thumbnail, open the videos.

At one time, I imagined jbrout could work with groups of pics and other files (having several versions of a file, maybe, and a video or a sound...) using the same name and different extensions. Never went further than an idea, but this plugin enables at list to track my cameras videos. It might need a little more doc indeed, as I recall I once explained what it did. Maybe it could use some configuration too.

Best regards,

François

PS: here is a copy of my previous email on the subject to ennoia:

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad to know that someone find it useful. But I guess the notion of "associated video" was only clear in my head :)
I should add some explanations in the doc.

As jbrout only manages photos so far, and pictures enable to include metadata, dates, comments, tags... I find it useful to manage videos through their thumbnails. Of course, it doesn't enable to move, rename, etc. videos from jbrout interface, since only the thumbnail would be moved (but I plan to try to do something about it when I have some time). 

I also have a script to create thumbnails using ffmpeg and exiv2 as you do. I can post it too if someone is interested, but some parts are a bit specific to my file tree.

I could add "parole" (never heard of it, though), but I guess you did it already. I have no idea about how to make it easy to choose the video player, or about a default player... if yo do...

I did not think about handling sound, but... why not :)

Ooops... previous patch also included another plugin. So here is just the plugin to add in plugins

Either that or git request-pull (see its man page for more info; pull
requests were not invented by github and it is not necessary to use that
proprietary data sink to create one), but it is not important, you can
use patch sent here as well.

Just to note that the other plugin (jbrout/jbrout/plugins/slideshow)
does absolutely nothing for me (as included on
https://gitorious.org/jbrout/jbrout/source/associated_media).

For openVideos I have no files following the expect name.

Well, I usually create them with a right click executing :

#!/bin/bash

VIDEO=$1
THUMB=`echo $1 | cut -d"." -f1 | sed s/$/.jpg/`
FILI=/home/user/video.png

# Creation
ffmpeg -itsoffset -4 -i $VIDEO -vcodec mjpeg -vframes 1 -an -f
rawvideo -s 320x180 $THUMB
# Adding a watermark
composite -gravity center $FILI $THUMB $THUMB
# creating the internal thumb
jhead -rgt $THUMB
# Create minimal exif header
jhead -mkexif $THUMB
# removing auto-comment
jhead -dc $THUMB
# adding exif data to avoid red band in jBrout
exiv2 -M "add Exif.Image.Make Ascii VideoThumbnail" $THUMB

Yes, I know, the other plugin is incomplete (it lacks the GUI), and as yet unfinished. Since my repo was a personal git-svn and I didn't intend to push, I may have been careless in my commits. To create the patch I made a branch, cherry-picked my two commits and diffed with your master without verification.

As for the slideshow plugin, i intended it to be an internal or external slideshow, but thought since that if I wanted it to be internal, i should rather just add some key controls to jbrout full view. So... Not ready for sharing yet :)

I guess committing branch
https://gitorious.org/jbrout/jbrout/source/associated_media: won't make
jBrout any better than it was before, so I don't see any harm done to
jBrout by doing so.

Happened in r363 and r364, except I have somehow managed to commit it
with a wrong commit message. So the right one is here:

Add openVideos plugin

For this plugin, I use the notion of associated videos, meaning
that if a video has a JPEG thumbnail with the same name (except the
extension), then the video is associated with this thumbnail. It
does not enable to move/rename videos using this thumbnail, but at
least, one can tag/date/comment/search the thumbnail, and from the
thumbnail, open the videos.

At one time, I imagined jbrout could work with groups of pics and
other files (having several versions of a file, maybe, and a video
or a sound...) using the same name and different extensions. Never
went further than an idea, but this plugin enables at list to track
my cameras videos. It might need a little more doc indeed, as I
recall I once explained what it did. Maybe it could use some
configuration too.

I have also eliminated attribution of the commit to Francois Chartier
<chartier...@gmail.com>. I am sorry.

Best,

Matěj
