Summary: Request for selecting a portion of media for playback
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: OggHandler
AssignedTo: tstarl...@wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: theornamental...@gmail.com
Hi,
Is it feasible to introduce two new parameters into the Ogghandler? They would
be to view/listen to a chosen portion of the original; something like:
|starttime = 0:00:00<br>
|endtime = 0:00:00
I think this could reduce the amount of space used up by derivatives of larger
files with points of interest at a particular portion. An example of what I
mean is
here:http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Betty_Boop%27s_Bamboo_Isle
where many portions exist, and the movie files ''really'' take up a lot of
space. In place of this, having a single movie file and just having parameters
to designate which portion is shown would greatly reduce the size of files held
in Commons. This could also have other applications for verifying particular
parts of the media, like in Wikisource. Using Sequencer
(http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Sequencer) does not solve this
problem as it creates separate files. I imagine the specified parameters to
either point to the positions (as in having the original file load) or truncate
the non-selected parts; either way I think this is a capability that would be
beneficial to a lot of projects.
