+1

We ran into problems when trying to strip down engage. We would love to work on this when we have time. When do people think that this work would get started?

Thanks,

Hello Ruben

+1 to all your words. All that the community could do to lower the entry barrier in working with the player would be great

*Asunto:* Re: [Opencast Matterhorn] Proposal: New Engage Player

Hello all,

These are great news. Teltek and UPV based our mini-paella bundle on the current Engage implementation, and we found it quite difficult to deal with the different plugins and how they work together. Anything that helps improving the player architecture is good news for the developers.

We were currently working to integrate the current engage bundle (Flash player) with the mini-Paella bundle (HTML5 player), to create a hybrid player that could serve videos in both technologies. Additionally, we were planning to implement the ability to detect a mobile device, and switch to a previously created side-by-side composition.

We hereby offer our help and experience in anything that can help speeding up the development of this new architecture, because lowering the entry barrier for new developers to create their own plugins is fundamental to get an even richer multimedia player.

Best regards,

Rubén Pérez

Hi Chris,

the current engage player is there and working. For sure bugs need to be fixed there as long as the new player is not in place. And even after that, the current player could be used, if you prefer it over the new one (because of the flash player i.e.), as long as the enpoints are still available that this player used. We should maintain the endpoints for quite a while as other players (paella player, Matterhorn 2 go app, and maybe others) are using this endpoints too.

We simply want to start to work on the new player and make sure that the community knows about this. We here in Osnabrück at least will not introduce new features to the current player.

Denis,

It's not just a new interface, it's the whole architecture that we
want to change. And I think there will be some cross-browser issues
as usual but only in some of the views of some plugins. I hope the

frameworks that we want to use handle their functionality issues innew one


different browsers "on their own", e.g. backbone.js-events.
At first we just want to provide the architecture and some basic
plugins (e.g. the videodisplay (html5, flash?)), after that we can
talk about porting existing plugins or create new ones from scratch.
So basically it's a whole new engage player.

So I assume you are in agreement that the original Engage player must
stay until all of the features people expect are ported over?

I'm fine with that, though I hope that the wiki page will evolve to
include as many stakeholders as possible.  Multiple people
co-developing the codebase is a good thing I think.  I'm happy to help
do some reviews, though I have limited capacity...

Chris
