with 0.10 version, a nice enhancement for video quality selection. 3 level are available by default (360, 480 and 720p), is there any configuration to generate only some of them and what matter more for me is could we force a default quality for the user, actually it's the lowest by default, which poorly show quality works for people not knowing how to change the quality...

thanks a lot again,

Currently the left part of the user's profile only contains... the profile.

It'd be great if below that, we could have a list of tags they've used.

• Maybe with a number behind it telling you how many times they've

been used.

• If there are a lot of tags, say, more than 20 or 30, the list

should be cut off.

• Of course each of these tags should link to the /u/tag/X page

and list all of the media with that tag.

• Maybe we can add a "show all" link that links to a full page for

the user's tags. Maybe a tag cloud there?

The strings in the JavaScripts (e. g. show_password.js) and the !WTForms messages (e. g. “Invalid Input”) cannot be translated right now.

Attachments cannot be deleted without deleting the whole "medium."

We need better documentation on how to author unit tests. This should go in docs/source/devel/ on its own page, maybe "writing tests" or some such.

The following should be mentioned:

• How to run tests (even though this is covered elsewhere)
• What tools we use (pytest, webtest)
• A simple "writing a unit test" example
• Show to pass an application fixture into a test
• Show how to set it up with different configs (I can explain this on IRC)

It would be great to get it so that you could upload photos to mediagoblin via Impeller. Currently however you can't even get through the OAuth. It initially looked like Impeller was site scraping however it would seem:

/from #pump.io on Freenode/

<jessica_lily> XgF: I'm wondering how possible it would be to change the site scraping behaviour of impeller with regards to the verifier? or at least provide some kind of fallback which allows you to copy and paste the verifier and enter it manually
<XgF> Jessica_lily: eh? Impeller expects a redirect to a https uri with the verifier. When it detects that, it closes the web view and does the background oauth flow

Hi, I am blind, so use a screen reader to access the web. However, your audio player (not sure about video) is inaccessible with them. For example, the play button shows to my screen reader as a clickable of 'black up pointing small triangle" which is not very descriptive. However, when I do click on the triangle, the pause button is a symbol that my screen reader cannot recognize, which simply speaks as clickable. This is on windows, using jaws for windows. I haven't tested with NVDA (an open source screen reader), but with orca on linux, the clickable isn't even seen at all, and there is no way to play the audio. For audio (and video, possibly) I can recommend able player (​https://ableplayer.github.io/ableplayer/) as an alternative that is guaranteed to be accessible if done right. IT could also introduce new features, such as closed captions and transcripts on videos. Thanks, -Michael.

When uploading media, the licensing options don't give enough information for most people to make an informed choice.

The current list is: All rights reserved CC BY 3.0 CC BY-SA 3.0 CC BY-ND 3.0 CC BY-NC 3.0 CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 CC0 1.0 Public Domain

Propose better options, helptexts, or perhaps a block of text that changes based on your choice.

The core plugins need some additional test scaffolding to make it easier to write core plugin tests.

Why?

Well, so, the problem is that mediagoblin configuration is global and also which plugins are running is also global. There's a bunch of setup/cleanup that needs to get done. It should go in scaffolding to make it easier to deal with.

We should have a unit test that instantiates the tables at their first, pre-migration state (basically right after the move to SQL, commit ce29c140ed90fe0e19ed1b68ca8f7cf27aa03e8e) and runs all migrations, then creates a new database and instantiates the models at their current state, and sees if they match. If they don't, the test should fail.

Note: we can't test for constraints in sqlalchemy, but we should otherwise be able to test to moderately general migration sanity.

(Bonus points if it adds a user and a couple of media entries with appropriate media files, etc, but not required to close this bug.)

Summary of changes :

Basically, to idea is to replace the tedious process to add medias to collection. It's done, by putting the form where media are.

• When you submit a media
• When you are on a media's page.

The "add to collection" page no longer exists (yet I haven't removed anything that whould allow it to work... up to you).

TEMPLATES

• The media_collect.html has been splitted to be used as a stand alone or as par of another form (start.html). The media's information has been removed, it's now contextual.

• The "embeddable form" is in utils/collection_form.html

• submit/start.html embeds the form above

VIEWS

The "add to collection" method has been put in tools/collection.py so it can be called from the "submit a media form" and from within the media page.

• in user_pages/views.py
  • media_home : adding the collection form
  • media_collect : it calls the collection_tools method instead

• in submit/views.py : calls the collection_tools method, passing the new media's data

I've slightly changed the behavior when you type an existing collection : it add the media to the existing collection instead of showing an error. It was mainly because I couldn't find a way to reload the media entry page without losing the filled form. Moreover, it's a smoother way to handle the error. Here are the changes

Mediagoblin should get the the data use in the spectrogram from the file, but the actual rendering should be passed to the browser and done client side.

Hey there, i tryed to let the Transcoder transcoding in better Quality (1080p). So i use this options for example:

# vp8enc options
self.destination_dimensions = kwargs.get('dimensions', (1080, 1080))
self.vp8_quality = kwargs.get('vp8_quality', 10)

...in the transcoding.py

After assetlink and dbupdate, there has nothing changed. I think the handling of videos on "Media"goblin is a big problem. You cant enjoy Videos in that damn bad quality!

So i think, okey lets transcode to webm Files on the Client PCs before uploading - no, you can forget it! The Player Interface is a bad Joke on untranscoded Files! Here an Example of 1080p WebM: ​https://media.tchncs.de/u/milan/m/test/

I understand, that the Player dont let you switch in Resolutions. But damned, so let us please configure in which Quality Videos can uploaded by users...

Thumbnails of portrait images have padding on every side except on top, which makes them look off. Screenshot: ​http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1357823610.png

Perhaps adding a separator between the title and the image will fix this, so that the thumbnail will no longer look like it has padding on the bottom.

When adding media to a collection one can add a note. Currently there is no way to edit that note. Clicking "add to collection" on the media and selecting the same collection, one gets a "this media is already in the collection" error message. Instead one should get redirected to a form field, that lets one edit the relationship.

A user tried to upload an image which produced the following error. A stackoverflow thread mentions converting to RGB space.

need an option to upload an avatar, I think something elemental.

Like the summary says. It would be neat (and super simple) to have a "like" button (or maybe love/heart/4 or 5 star rating) for all kinds of media.

Or, someone could use this ticket to educate me why this isn't such a good idea, despite so many the big media sharing sites having this feature.

I'm looking for the ability to provide my mediagoblin users the ability to copy and paste a snippet of code - a la youtube or vimeo - to display media in another website.

Without having researched it, I'd imagine what would probably be done for video is some sort of iframe? Or alternatively, a javascript snippet with parameters that add the video.js player to the existing page and then includes the video element in its place. I could look at how other video players handle this too.

For images, it's pretty trivial once the infrastructure for configuring and displaying the embed code is in place.

It would be nice if plugins could verify that they're compatible with the running version of MediaGoblin before they're turned on.

Adding lightbox effect for images would be a good enhancement.

Subject: "GNU MediaGoblin - Change forgotten password!" is not translatable.

Enabling the various media types is well documented, however no hint is given on how to configure media specific options, e.g. video quality.

There are individual config_spec.ini files scattered around, but there's no mention of where to put those options in mediagoblin_local.ini.
