don't reload media page, use more ajax

[davidak]

i noticed this issue when i listened to a cool song, send a comment and the song stops playing because the page is reloaded.
the same problem when you watch a video.

this should be solved with the use of ajax for commenting, add to collection, on page edit of title, description etc like flickr or youtube.

Confirmed: you can open the comment editing field and write a comment w/o reloading the page, but sending the comment then reloads the page.

AJAX for posting comments

[Vijeth]

Hi,

I noticed that this is actually a major problem, since the media being played should not be stopped. I have added a patch file and drive link to a video to verify the fixes.

I have done code refactoring multiple times to make sure everything works as efficiently as possible, and there is no redundant code as such. So, it would be great if you guys looked into the design principles, and the AJAX code.

I have added the AJAX part with graceful degradation so that users with JS disabled can comment like before (with page reloading).

Added a revised patch file and a new drive link to the video which verifies the fix

Revised patch for graceful degradation when JS is disabled

[Boris Bobrov]

Thank you, Vijeth. I have tried the patch out and it works good. I am going to merge it. I am also adding you to "AUTHORS" as Vijeth Aradhya, please ping me in irc if i should change that :)

However, there one more thing that needs to be done is error reporting. Now it is just logged to console:

+                error: function(error) {
+                    console.log(error);
+                }

However, it would be good if a message was posted to the user with a red background. I am going to open a new bugreport now about it with low priority.
