#
tantek just PESOS'd a photo I contributed to Wikimedia commons instead of IG
#
tantek let's see how this works
#
tantek wow Twitter's crop sucked
#
tantek whereas FB had no problem
#
tantek http://tantek.com/2015/346/t2/eiffel-tower-small-world
#
tantek hey snarfed, any idea why Twitter would oddly crop this photo upload from Bridgy Publish? https://twitter.com/t/status/675827445421899776
#
@t Another from Tuesday: the Eiffel Tower in the line for Small World. Contributed to… (http://tantek.com/2015/346/t2/eiffel-tower-small-world) [photo] (twitter.com/_/status/675827445421899776)
#
snarfed tantek: nope, i don't know much (anything) about twitter photo cropping
#
tantek I've just never seen it (or noticed?) before so was surprised
#
snarfed on a related note though, i managed to get fb publish to keep photo posts separate instead of consolidating
#
snarfed merry xmas :P
#
tantek whoa!
#
tantek how?!?
#
GWG snarfed: And a joyous Kwanzaa to you.
#
tantek and did you choose to make that a default? (makes sense)
#
snarfed yup
#
snarfed options--
#
Loqi options has -1 karma
#
tantek yep
#
snarfed kylewm: this looks up your alley (right now at least): https://appback.com/
#
snarfed tantek: it uploads to the timeline photos album explicitly, which is special and doesn't consolidate
#
snarfed i think i mentioned it when we talked about it the other day
#
tantek a-ha!
#
tantek snarfed, that's much more elegant as there's no need to create a separate album
#
snarfed it actually creates the per-app albums automatically by default if you don't specify an album when you upload a photo
#
snarfed but yes, i'm pleasantly surprised we actually got this to work
#
snarfed FB and all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
#
tantek snarfed++ thank you!
#
Loqi snarfed has 183 karma
#
snarfed welcome!
#
tantek is that deployed yet?
#
snarfed yup
#
tantek https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10102015068643083 (just posted minutes ago) still links to "Bridgy Photos" (e.g. in sidebar and when you click "Back to Album")
#
snarfed yeah, looks like that was 3:59pm pst; i deployed at 4:02pm
#
tantek lol!
#
snarfed indeed
#
tantek I suppose I should post another photo then :)

#
tantek goodness, what happens if I publish a video?
#
tantek stops himself before he posts a video to IG
#
tantek Twitter and FB both support video posts...
#
tantek checks bridgy docs
#
tantek no mention of u-video
#
snarfed nope, sorry
#
tantek hmm - snarfed what would happen if I pretended to post a photo but the file was a video?
#
snarfed i have no idea
#
snarfed :P
#
snarfed but i know how to find out!
#
tantek as in a u-photo link to a video file - are there separate API calls to post a photo vs. a video on Twitter or FB?
#
snarfed i have no idea
#
snarfed :P
#
snarfed but i know how to find out!
#
KartikPrabhu make a test post! :)
#
tantek yeah this is going to be an ugly hack
#
tantek I'm not even sure I can get a direct mpeg or whatever reference from IG
#
kylewm snarfed: is it literally hosted Hoodie?
#
kylewm appback I mean
#
kylewm maybe I should try hoodie out again now that I'm not trying to get something done for iwc
#
tantek well I found a .mp4 file
#
tantek which plays in both Safari and Firefox. I did hear this past week that we'd solved that problem. hope for the future of video posting.
#
tantek now for the ugly hack of claiming it's both a video and a photo for compat with Bridgy's current implementation
#
tantek (just to see what happens)
#
tantek (really hoping I don't break anything)
#
tantek hopes and fears as it were ;)
wolftune joined the channel
#
tantek I suppose it doesn't make sense to link a video since it typically has clickable controls of its own.
#
tantek snarfed, I think just as with photos, I have stumbled into implementing video posts
#
tantek this is what happens when I sleep <2 hours in 24+. executive control lowered to the point of following temptations to do something crazy like implement video posts.
snarfed joined the channel
#
tantek here goes nothing
#
tantek hmm well that didn't POSSE as expected
#
tantek one more conditional to hack
#
tantek ok let's try this POSSE one more time
#
tantek ok so that didn't POSSE to Twitter
#
tantek { "error": "Error: {\"errors\":[{\"code\":189,\"message\":\"Error creating status.\"}]} 403 Client Error: Forbidden" }
#
tantek that's what Bridgy publish returned from the Webmention
#
snarfed yeah, i figured if either worked, it'd be fb, not twitter
#
snarfed feel free to file feature requests!
#
tantek perhaps I shouldn't bother to POSSE video to Twitter yet?
#
snarfed it's probably possible, we just haven't looked into it yet
#
tantek right. now I'm trying to hack my publishing code to only Bridgy Publish POSSE to FB
#
snarfed https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/uploading-media#videorecs
#
tantek it's currently dependent on first POSSEing to Twitter, and stops if that fails
#
tantek and I broke mobile presentation
#
tantek however the good news is that a single .mp4 plays fine on mobile safari as well as Firefox
j12t and danlyke_ joined the channel
#
tantek snarfed, looks like FB does not like that either but provides a much more clear error:
#
tantek { "error": "Error: {\"error\":{\"message\":\"Invalid parameter\",\"type\":\"FacebookApiException\",\"code\":100,\"error_subcode\":1366046,\"is_transient\":false,\"error_user_title\":\"Can't Read Files\",\"error_user_msg\":\"Your photos couldn't be uploaded. Photos should be less than 4 MB and saved as JPG, PNG, GIF or TIFF files.\",\"fbtrace_id\":\"GblXFhuDpF8\"}} HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error" }
#
tantek ok that's good enough for me to stop trying with existing Bridgy Publish support for now. test complete.
#
tantek now I'll request it properly (u-video :) )
#
tantek instead of trying to hack u-photo

#
[shaners] !tell Tantek. My thinking for `u-photo` on the `video` tag was so that (hopefully) parsers could use the `poster` attribute as the preview image. I have `u-video` on my nested `source` tag.
#
Loqi [shaners]: tantek left you a message 14 hours, 19 minutes ago: could you add u-video markup (and remove the u-photo) to your <video> tags in video posts? E.g. https://indiewebcamp.com/video#Shane_Becker http://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2015-12-12/line/1449974250653
#
KartikPrabhu [shaners]: for preview image the current thinking seems to be to use u-featured as in featured image
#
KartikPrabhu KevinMarks used it with my u-featured markup http://www.unmung.com/storycard?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkartikprabhu.com%2F
KartikPrabhu1, snarfed1, danlyke_, j12t, wolftune and [shaners] joined the channel
#
[shaners] What is featured?
#
[shaners] What is h-entry?
#
Loqi featured is a proposed mf2 property (typically as u-featured) for h-entry that indicates a representative image for a primarily textual post https://indiewebcamp.com/featured
#
Loqi h-entry is the microformats2 vocabulary for marking up blog posts on web sites https://indiewebcamp.com/h-entry
#
[shaners] Kevinmarks: do you fall back to u-photo if there is no u-featured?
[kevinmarks] joined the channel
#
[kevinmarks] I do, but there is an assumption that a photo post is u-photo I think
#
[kevinmarks] Why is post type discovery
#
[kevinmarks] What is post type discovery?
#
Loqi Post Type Discovery specifies an algorithm for determining the type of a post by what properties it has and potentially what value(s) they have, which helps avoid the need for explicit post types that are being abandoned by modern post creation UIs https://indiewebcamp.com/post-type-discovery
#
kylewm huh, it looks like twitter only supports gif and webp videos ... that's kind of a bummer for bridgy publish & silo.pub
#
[shaners] I have some memory of u-featured being fairly contentious and not universally agreed upon.
bengo joined the channel
#
KartikPrabhu [shaners]: I don't know about contentious but it isn't widely used. Honestly I made it up to markup featured images
#
[kevinmarks] Hm, what does it take to show up as a video in a twitter card?
#
[kevinmarks] I'm saying that if you use u-photo, post type discovery will decide it is a photo post ie the photo is the primary content. If the photo is just supportive and text is primary, use u-featured
#
snarfed1 kylewm: from https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/uploading-media : "Supported video formats: MP4"

#
[shaners] Re: `u-featured` vs `u-photo`.
#
[shaners] What about audio posts that have an album cover image et al? Should that be
#
[shaners] `u-featured` vs `u-photo`?
#
KartikPrabhu u-photo is mostly for photo posts. Since for audio posts the album cover is not the actual main content I'd say u-featured is better
#
GWG puts on his tantek hat
#
GWG Is someone documenting this?
#
[shaners] I feel like u-featured is adding additional vocabulary that u-photo already covers.
#
[shaners] But maybe this ship has sailed and everyone else thinks u-featured is a good idea.
#
[shaners] What is h-entry
#
Loqi h-entry is the microformats2 vocabulary for marking up blog posts on web sites https://indiewebcamp.com/h-entry
#
KartikPrabhu [shaners]: I don't know if there is anyone consuming u-featured yet (apart from KevinMarks' story cards)

#
[jonnybarnes] ahh, ok
#
[jonnybarnes] well github worked so at least I can still log into my micropub client
#
kylewm [shaners]: I sympathize. u-featured feels a bit like a kludge to make up for not having explicit post types, but I think it's worth making the distinction even if we did have explicit post types. Sharing a photo is pretty different semantically than including a vaguely related header image at the top of an article.

kylewm no, buy woodwind doesn't use u-photo either

ehlovader and kerozene joined the channel
#
tantek shaners, to make your use of u-photo for the poster image work (even if/when you switched it to use u-featured), we may need to add fall back u-* parsing to <video> elements to /microformats2-parsing
#
tantek right now we have this: http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2-parsing#parsing_a_u-_property
j12t joined the channel
#
tantek " else if img.u-x[src] or audio.u-x[src] or video.u-x[src] or source.u-x[src], then get the src attribute "
#
tantek which covers u-video on <video> or on <source>
#
tantek we could change that to:
#
tantek or rather, we could insert a step right after that to:
#
tantek " else video.u-x[poster], then get the poster attribute "
#
tantek s/else/else if/

Loqi tantek meant to say: " else if video.u-x[poster], then get the poster attribute "
catsup and friedcell joined the channel
#
tantek shaners re: "some memory of u-featured being fairly contentious and not universally agreed upon" - pretty sure we resolved all the debates/issues around it and reached a pretty good broad consensus. if you remember a specific issue with it, and we haven't documented it, please bring it and we'll refigure it out if have to!
#
tantek kevinmarks is right about the intent of u-featured: "If the photo is just supportive and text [or other content] is primary, use u-featured"
#
KartikPrabhu what is video?
#
Loqi video is a type of post supported by a few silos https://indiewebcamp.com/video
#
tantek shaners, re: "feel like u-featured is adding additional vocabulary that u-photo already covers" - I was concerned about this initially too, however it's become pretty clear that capturing that author intent of "primary" vs. "supportive" content is important for more easily disambiguating, and provides a nice hook for the concept of image summaries for pages/posts of any kind that authors have been taught to publish by OGP,
#
tantek Twitter Cards, etc.
#
tantek shaners, I'm happy to write that up as an FAQ if that makes explanation makes sense to you.
#
tantek KartikPrabhu, I didn't know we had any u-featured consuming code yet
#
[shaners] Thanks. I think the debate around it was when I wasn't in channel as much. So I didn't see the resolution.
#
KartikPrabhu tantek: only KevinMarks' story cards
#
[shaners] I'll remove u-photo on my video posts
#
tantek shaners - that should be ok (not being in the channel as much), as it's up to those that do debate/resolve to capture any kind of questions/conclusions in the wiki
#
tantek if the answer is not on the wiki page that means that it will get asked again
#
tantek shaners, I think your publishing intent made sense with attempting to reference the poster image
#
tantek I'm now considering implementing the same myself
#
KartikPrabhu poster images on video tags are trickier
#
tantek would you consider using u-featured instead of u-photo for the poster image?
#
[shaners] Can `poster` be added to the lookup chain for u-* though? So I can use `u-featured` on
#
tantek shaners, right, that's the point of my proposal here: https://indiewebcamp.com/irc/2015-12-13#t1450035721661
#
[shaners] S/on/on it?/
#
KartikPrabhu a basic video is <video src="file.mp4" poster="image.jpg"></video> not sure how to markup poster image on that
bengo joined the channel
#
[shaners] Gotcha. Thought so. Just wanted to be sure.
#
tantek KartikPrabhu: point being, you can't in that simplest case
#
KartikPrabhu yeah
#
tantek if you want to express both video and poster URLs to mf2 you need to use two elements
#
KartikPrabhu i see
#
tantek <video class="u-featured" poster="image.jpg"><source src="file.mp4"/></video>
#
tantek s/source/source class="u-video"
#
Loqi tantek meant to say: <video class="u-featured" poster="image.jpg"><source class="u-video" src="file.mp4"/></video>
#
tantek assuming we made that mf2 parser change obv
#
tantek I also think there may be merit in making this work ok:
#
tantek <video class="u-featured u-photo" poster="image.jpg"><source class="u-video" src="file.mp4"/></video>
#
tantek assuming there are consuming code clients out there that may understand u-photo but do not understand u-video or u-featured yet
#
tantek but maybe there are no such clients
#
tantek despite the DRY violation, this would be a better way to mark that up though: <video class="u-featured" poster="image.jpg"><source class="u-video" src="file.mp4"/><img class="u-photo" src="image.jpg" alt="A video with a fallback image"/></video>
#
[shaners] Good point.
snarfed joined the channel
#
tantek shaners, really appreciate you pushing the cutting edge with marking up video posts, definitely helping move things forward.
#
[shaners] Tantek: can you view source on my video post and dis/confirm that my markup now reflects your suggestion above?
#
[shaners] I'm on iPad only for the next few weeks and can't easily view source.
#
tantek wonders if Firefox/iOS can do that
#
tantek doesn't look like it. time to file a feature request.

#
[shaners] Fixed.
#
tantek shaners, hmm - I'm seeing featured the same as the permalink in the pin13 result now. checking source...
#
tantek and that's likely a bug in the phpmf2
#
tantek there is no src attribute on the video so it's somehow taking that as empty "" and treating it as a relative URL on the page's URL and thus expanding it to the same as the page
#
tantek shaners, regardless your markup looks good!
#
tantek.com edited /video (+118) "/* Shane Becker */ update description with u-featured and u-photo" (view diff)

tantek it's worse than ignoring poster - it's adding noise
#
[shaners] Agreed
#
tantek !tell ben_thatmustbeme check out how shaners marks up his video posts with <video><source>, and consider doing the same. right now your video posts are not expressing the u-video URL since it is not on the same element as the URL: https://indiewebcamp.com/video#Ben_Roberts

Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
[shaners] Thanks for updating the wiki re: my video markups

tantek I should eat breakfast first :)
#
tantek and then fix my own video posts to have poster/fallback image like yours
#
Loqi +1
#
tantek we want to incentivize the consuming code writers to handle video+poster+photo-fallback
#
tantek video *post* I should say. I've only posted one.

[shaners] Breakfast is important!

KevinMarks the other reason fir featured is in a profile page, where u-photo is the headshot and u-featured is the banner imsage
snarfed joined the channel
#
tantek !tell benwerd lots of /video post activity in the past 24hrs, looks like we might be getting critical mass of indieweb video post support across projects / personal sites! Need your examples!
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
tantek KevinMarks: that seems like a fallback usage of u-featured, rather than a primary meaning
#
tantek that is - you're twisting meaning, and using something for other than what it means
#
tantek e.g. FB calls it "Cover Photo"
#
tantek what does Twitter call it?
#
tantek what does About.me call it? (i.e. in their UIs)
#
tantek start with such UI presentation first and then determine the semantic, rather than starting with plumbing (u-featured) and retrofitting it to similar looking things.
#
tantek KevinMarks have you posted any video on your Known site? known.kevinmarks.com ?

tantek e.g. https://twitter.com/johnaugust/status/676113841025978368 (polls are still js;dr, options are ( ) Growth, ( ) Churn, ( ) Coincidence)

kylewm tantek: just possed a video (first time) here https://kylewm.com/2015/12/war-on-pens-video-test
#
kylewm I put the original in an S3 bucket and possed to Twitter via silo.pub, but did both of things manually :P
#
GWG Has anyone thought of nicknames cache as a service?
#
kylewm GWG: in what way? like, a service that you give a url and it gives you back a cached h-card?
#
kylewm or like a personal address book that'd need auth and stuff?
#
GWG kylewm: Well, autolinking, for example, wouldn't work on cached h-cards.
#
GWG For example, I want to have @kylewm map to something.
#
GWG The auto-link part could be done on my site, but there could be a service for that.
#
kylewm aaronpk discussed it briefly at IWC i believe...i can't remember what the context was
#
GWG aaronpk has a service for everything. That is the way he redesigned his site
#
kylewm it's definitely hard to do without letting each person define their own nicknames
#
kylewm maybe like, you could publish a really simple list of hcards that just have a nickname and url. and when you query the nickname cache service, you give it your list and it fills in the blanks (avatar, social media urls, etc.)

#
GWG Many people use the same username all over the place though
#
kylewm how does that change the problem/solution?

#
GWG Well, if a nicknames cache allows query by any name, it can return all possibilities it has cached within it and allow you to choose from them if there is a collision.
#
GWG For example...

#
[snarfed] this kinda seems like plumbing in search of a use case
#
[snarfed] the CMS still has to extract username mentions and replace them with h-cards
#
[snarfed] and you also have to populate it either way
#
[snarfed] so the tradeoff is HTTP fetch vs local storage and lookup. doesn't seem like a clear win...
#
GWG snarfed, I'm thinking from a post UI point of view though.
#
[snarfed] ...*unless* it's shared across users, and then there are lots of unknowns to figure out, as kylewm alluded to
#
GWG Good reason why I'm not building it, I suppose.
#
[snarfed] GWG: ok...? still don't see how a remote service helps though
#
[snarfed] heh fair
#
GWG But it is mostly about the question of how I sort through all the snarfeds I know to find the one I want to mention right now.
#
GWG Github, for example, makes that easy.
#
kylewm ohh, or a nickname cache federation, where you could share caches

GWG I was just contemplating what the Indieweb alternative might be
#
GWG Especially if I know people I talk to are likely to have entries for other people I talk to.
#
kylewm like for a given nickname, it'd search my cache first then Alice's, then irc-people, then twitter
#
bear I always thought a name cache would always be local and it would learn of new sources by the webmentions or micropubs it processes -- it would follow links and do a discovery of the other person's cache
#
bear but not having a need for one the above is just me day dreaming
#
GWG bear: I've based my Indieweb experience on the work of others.
#
GWG My webmention support was written by pfefferle
#
GWG My Micropub support by snarfed
#
GWG WordPress...well, by however many people
#
GWG Bridgy by snarfed.
#
GWG Etc
#
bear sure, I was just giving the "architecture astronaut" disclaimer as I haven't implemented it for my site yet, just thought about it
#
GWG bear: I want to be the architecture mission controller.
#
bear :)
#
GWG Sorry, was at Kennedy Space Center this past week. Decided I'm not going into space.
#
tantek kylewm: nice! Add yourself to /video#IndieWeb_Examples!
#
tantek hmm Twitter's video support is pretty bad. js;dr in FF, and on Safari I get "This browser does not support video playback." in white text on top of the poster frame: https://twitter.com/kylewmahan/status/676118863772188672

#
tantek odd - video playback *does* work in Twitter in the in-stream view! e.g. https://twitter.com/kylewmahan and scroll down to your video post
#
tantek kylewm: also I think "using micropub" is at least semi-automated, I've always thought of "manual POSSE" as meaning using the UI of the silo directly to create a new post that is a copy of your original post.

GWG Do people feel Micropub is sufficiently mature?
#
tantek depends on what you're asking of it
