Hello,
Some days ago I was looking for video files on Commons. I then noticed Commons not only lacked a proper image search, but does not have anything to search specifically for video and audio. So I created one:
http://tools.wikimedia.org/~bryan/ogg/
It allows searching in video and audio files, by length, y category, by resolution and by audio format. It embeds Wikimedia's ogg player, so you can directly view the videos in your web browser.
Regards, Bryan
Oh wow, very nice. Not sure if you do this, but is it possible to create a WP version too, for searching the many nonfree oggs there?

Could be possible. However the problem is that the software requires some data that has to be extracted in batch jobs, so it is not possible to automatically do all wikis. But certain wikis is doable, once the databases are back up ;)

Well, in theory there is Mayflower's advanced search http://tools.wikimedia.de/~tangotango/mayflower/search.php?q=rockets&ic=... but it has "a terrible error" and MediaSearch http://tools.wikimedia.de/~daniel/WikiSense/MediaSearch.php has a "500 internal error" :( how is it OggSearch is not dead?
of course, neither of them do quite the same thing as OggSearch.
Some comments: 1) Cool logo, intro and interface generally - nice and clean. 2) Search options should disappear or be below the search results. 3) Can't search description, only filename? 4) What does "View streams" mean? 5) Playback is cool - but that probably means you need licensing/author info? Maybe just display the page text?... 6) So when are you extensionising it? ;)
cheers, Brianna

No, I don't have an index of the description. Need to think how to do that.
- What does "View streams" mean?
It means that by clicking "Next 20" you see the next 20 streams, not the next 20 files. For example, when there are only video files, which each contain 1 video stream and 1 audio stream, you will get 10 files.

I built it with in the back of my mind extensioning :) I wrote it such that it should be quite easy to convert it to an extension: it does not use any Commons specifics as licenses, parsing things like the information template etc.

Wow, I love the interface: simple and easy-to-use. Thanks for developing this.

Any JavaScript gurus that can help me out? The following links works in Firefox and Opera, but let's IE explode :(

Looks like a XXS filter in IE. Try: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?withJS=MediaWiki:OggSearch.js&t...
