I've gotten some great review feedback from Gilles on the desktop-web integration of my ogv.js JavaScript & Flash compatibility layers for Ogg Theora/Vorbis media files -- thanks Gilles!
* libraries: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/165477/ * desktop integration: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/165478/ These are getting pretty close to ready to land, I think. I would love to get some review on the mobile overlay I've whipped up as well. This supports both native WebM playback (Android Chrome, Android Firefox, Firefox OS) and ogv.js playback (iOS 7/8 Safari). * mobile overlay: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/165479/ * Live demo: https://ogvjs-testing.wmflabs.org/ A few open questions: 1) Is this the right way to do mobile overlay code? (It's basically a rip of the existing photo viewer overlay in MobileFrontend, but lives in TimedMediaHandler.) Is the overlay interface stable enough for other extensions to use it for mobile-specific features? (I had to make updates for object-model and template things that changed since this summer.) 2) Is the inline icon too huge/ugly here for audio files? Should it be arranged differently, or display the player inline instead of as an overlay for audio? 3) Should more controls be added to the overlay's bottom toolbar, such as manual resolution selection or an 'Open in VLC' link to support HD playback on iOS? 4) Should we autoplay when opening the overlay, or require a second tap? 5) How should we handle devices with no native playback that are either too slow (iOS 6 Safari) or lack necessary features needed for the player (Windows Phone)? Current known bugs in the mobile overlay: * CPU speed check not yet integrated to force to lowest resolution for old iPhones/iPads (this exists on the desktop integration, just needs to be moved to common code) * autoplay doesn't seem to work with native playback right now -- brion
