Hey,
I'm going to stream a conference, i'm using pure HTML5 video-tag for
now (with cortado fallback), but I'm looking into using mwembed or a
similar player if it can provide more features and niceties.
One requirement of this particular conference is that captioning
(subtitles) is present.
I'm thinking about using COMET for this, so ajax server-side push
messages, and built a small website for the translator to sit and type
in the text.
Has anyone else looked into this? Obviously, synchronization is a huge
problem, and that has been fixed in the spec, but none of the browsers
has implemented it, so everything will be horribly out of sync, but
sync is no requirement (but very nice of course).
Also, as an aside, it'd be nice to have a chat, where people watching
the stream can chat, and maybe get Twitter and Identica-messages into
the chat box when they arrive. With the comet approach this should be
quite doable.
