looks great :) so the second clip is doing seeking just via the flash client reading the flv and making byte range requests to archive.org server? Thats good I was worried we would have to have them install something special... setting up some examples where in-page javascript links jump to different parts of the video and the flash player controls are "hidden" would probably be a good next step...

fyi we have a lot of clips on archive.org http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=subject:%22U.S.%20Congress%22 some are very long and would be good for testing accuracy of flash client side seeking (without server side flash communication server)

Hello,

Since the GSoC deadline has been extended, I have posted a draft of my project proposal online: http://urbanstew.org/metavidwiki/proposal.html

Excerpt:

I propose to do a number of modifications to MetaVidWiki, with the common goal of improving the ease in which users can add their own video content to the Wiki.

The specific tasks are:

* making the process of video uploading to a MetaVidWiki system an

easy one-step process (currently, uploading a video file to the system requires several non-trivial steps) * adding the ability to use / annotate externally hosted video (from sites such as archive.org and YouTube)

---

There is also a supplemental materials page which currently has next to nothing (but where I'll try to do some proof-of-concept exercises in the next few days): http://urbanstew.org/metavidwiki/

Any feedback about the project / proposal is more than welcome (and thanks to those of you who have already helped me with MetaVidWiki and with the project ideas).

Kind regards,

Stjepan
