Make an actually useful media processing panel to use

[Christopher Allan Webber]

The current media processing panel we have is a demo more than anything else, and I'm not really sure it works. But users want something like this: something that's an indicator that their things are processing and to see whether things processed or failed. Administrators also should be able to see detailed errors.

This will be mostly a programming task, but we'll need some careful graphic design too to make this look nice.

Improvements have been made, still room for more.

We have media-in-processing view and even a progress counter!

What we still miss is detailed error reporting. I made it slightly more detailed, but it still isn't.

Joar, I'm removing you from ownership of this as part of cleaning up old tickets, but feel free to reclaim!

This media processing panels have come a long way during the life of this ticket, but because it is a fairly broad ticket, it is difficult to close. The key missing element is the error reporting. I think this will be more efficient to manage as a separate ticket, so I have added #5473. Will close this one.

Some ideas for things to add to the control panel:

• Queue of media in the unprocessed state
• Allow to kill and restart processing for media in the processing state (they sometime get stuck) [aka update core__media_entries set state='unprocessed' where id='ID' gmg reprocess run ID initial]
• Allow to reprocess processed entries [aka gmg reprocess run ID transcode]
• Allow to regenerate the thumbnail for one entry [close to, but not exactly, gmg reprocess thumbnails]
• Allow to rotate media, see #5487

Hi Shtrom, thanks for these additions. You might want to consider creating new tickets for these ideas, or alternately reopening this ticket. Otherwise these good ideas might get lost. I'd probably lean towards opening new tickets.
