what is a playlist
#
Loqi
A playlist represents a collection of audio or video of some significance to the list's creator https://indieweb.org/playlist
#
aaronpk
I see nothing in the UI that suggests how to add an item to a playlist, or how to create a playlist
#
aaronpk
overall I am not very impressed with the UX around uploading stuff to archive.org
#
aaronpk
talk about a dev-heavy UI
#
[tantek]
playlist << Example: Internet Archive supports (at least audio) playlists with a nice UI to skip to next/prev track which changes the URL accordingly for the specific track/episode! https://archive.org/details/playlist_20160215
#
Loqi
ok, I added "Example: Internet Archive supports (at least audio) playlists with a nice UI to skip to next/prev track which changes the URL accordingly for the specific track/episode! https://archive.org/details/playlist_20160215" to a new "See Also" section of /playlist https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=63426&oldid=63183

aaronpk
yeah I give up
#
aaronpk
if anyone can find instructions I am all ears
#
[tantek]
looking
#
[tantek]
I literally did this in HTML5+JS like 9 years ago but have completely forgotten how 😂
#
[tantek]
"this" - autoplay across a sequence of HTML5 video assetts
#
aaronpk
I mean that's another option, but i'd really rather not go there
#
aaronpk
I will say this is definitely one of the downsides of not using youtube for our videos
#
[tantek]
not go to indie playlist posts?
#
aaronpk
there's a lot of UI development and maintenance that would need to go into that
#
[tantek]
I'm very tempted to do a one-off blog post that recreates this
#
aaronpk
please do :) I have no interest in maintaining that JS on my site :)
#
[jgmac1106]
aaronpk this is the closest to a playlist on archive.org https://archive.org/details/knownandreclaim
#
aaronpk
is that 5 files uploaded into the same "item"?
#
[jgmac1106]
you eithe rupload everything all at once or if it is like a podcast (I host all mine on archive.org you click on edit event
#
[tantek]
I'm thinking more along the lines of putting the code here into a blog post: http://thenewcode.com/909/Create-An-Automatic-HTML5-Video-Playlist
#
[jgmac1106]
yes but you can return to an item and add files
#
[jgmac1106]
tantek and that is where I was saying you need to chande the word detail to download in the url to any video
#
aaronpk
should I not have uploaded these individually?

ok, I added "Possible How To for a Video Playlist post on your own site that plays a series of video files (ogg, mp4, ...) http://thenewcode.com/909/Create-An-Automatic-HTML5-Video-Playlist" to the "See Also" section of /playlist https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=63428&oldid=63426
#
[tantek]
aaronpk, no I think you did the right thing
#
[jgmac1106]
probably not a rigth or wrong answer
#
[jgmac1106]
what tantek said
#
[jgmac1106]
it is way easier for average user to share one file then to know how to share a video in a playlist
#
[tantek]
^^^ this
#
aaronpk
ok that was my next question
#
[jgmac1106]
yeah they only provide you an iframe embed to embed using html5 you have to get the url of the specific video and then alter the link
#
[tantek]
we can't put raw JS on the wiki, can we?
#
[tantek]
I'm assuming not, for *reasons*
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106]
tantek I did this but no js autoplay, of course if I just embed the iframe then the autplay will work: https://jgregorymcverry.com/hwcpagetutorial.html

looks like I messed a bit of CSS on the first one
#
[jgmac1106]
i havent played with the favorites feature on archive.org which is for building collections wonder what you can do with that

alright that's enough notes for now, thinking a "binge watch IWS 2019" post could do well on Friday early morning (for our EU & UK friends) for folks that want to spend Saturday (or their Friday night) catching up on all things IndieWeb Summit

Playlist should be an html element. You need the browser to do it to make it seamless.
#
[KevinMarks]
I mean, you can do it with low level audio code and js but that's crazy
#
[KevinMarks]
To do playlists seamlessly, you need to concatenate audio samples, which is a bit fine grained for js.
#
[KevinMarks]
It should be simple and declarative, but it's been made messy for years.
[benatwork] joined the channel
#
aaronpk
I disagree completely seeing as the vast majority of video and audio players do not cross fade between items
#
[tantek]
Kevinmarks no I did it seamlessly back in 2010 with JS
#
[tantek]
there's various things you can do with preloading etc.
#
[tantek]
that being said, it should be doable declaratively rather than depending on JS, thus I agree there should be a declarative mechanism (perhaps a new element if that's really needed)
#
[KevinMarks]
You can do it with small seams, but if you try to play through an album where the tracks are continuous you hear gaps.
#
[KevinMarks]
I've been building clunky sequence engines for 30 years...
#
[tantek]
in practice playlists on the internet are not albums
#
[tantek]
they're like mix tapes
#
Loqi
[gRegor Morrill] Here is the playlist I made for IndieWeb Summit 2019: “Awake”, Tycho “Me the Machine”, Imogen Heap “Shout”, Scandroid “Computer Love”, Kraftwerk “Light On”, Maggie Rogers “Joy Rides”, MUTEMATH “A Praise Chorus”, Jim...
#
[KevinMarks]
No, they're made as single file through mixes.
#
[tantek]
yeah that's true 😞
#
[KevinMarks]
If you care about seamlessness
#
[tantek]
or rather, they made "as a soundcloud"
#
[tantek]
back to the Internet Archive kludginess

#
[tantek]
since that was the actual meta topic (IWS videos)
#
[KevinMarks]
Hm. But that one died
#
[tantek]
it is *bad* to require that individual tracks/episodes be specifically uploaded to a "playlist" item
#
[tantek]
bad design that is
#
aaronpk
because that limits each item to exist in only one playlist
#
[tantek]
it is quite common in music mixtapes that the same track is in multiple mixes
#
aaronpk
For our videos we could easily make a few different playlists. Keynotes only, dev track, Wordpress track, design track, etc
#
aaronpk
especially including related videos from different IWCs

↩️ Lol that’d be wild! So I’m posting from my site first then sending it to Twitter using this IndieWeb service called https://brid.gy. (https://v2.jacky.wtf/post/7f62d450-a814-4287-be1d-745697c0ca14)

Oh, so, freek.dev is the second member of Spatie.be that starts using Webmention. They are kind of big in the Laravel community, so pretty sure more people will follow
#
sebsel
also, too bad that they reduced Webmentions to having Twitter on their site, but hey, that's a thing too.
#
sebsel
Do we need some outreach of getting that nuance across before the Laravel devs jump on bridgy? :P
#
sebsel
hm, also, it's not that bad... he's not actually saying that it's just that. He says he has them, and then one way to use it https://twitter.com/freekmurze/status/1148377805815767041
#
@freekmurze
Webmentions are now active on my blog. If you like, respond to or retweet this tweet, your interaction will, after a few minutes, be displayed on https://freek.dev/1390-improving-assertions-on-laravel-fakes

#
aaronpk
Just start commenting on the post by sending webmentions directly :-)
#
sebsel
Can't see it in the chatlogs, but there is whitespace between those sentences :)
#
aaronpk
I didn't actually read that as webmentions=Twitter
#
sebsel
haha, that's the best way, indeed
#
aaronpk
but bridgy is a very compelling reason to add webmention support and also something easy to demonstrate
#
sebsel
yea, because then a lot of people support a form of webmention. With native, you can only interact with a bunch of IndieWeb nerds atm.

And their "oh yeah we scripted something so users in Safari don't have to click "OK" every time, lolz security" thing really bugs me.

Saving a click at the expense of privacy/security is just plain foolish.

“But, this is our product differentiator!”

Grosssssss.

"And we're not the only ones doing it!" - so, it's _not_ a differentiator?

We believe everyone has the right to define their own identity. We don't just stand for an independent web: we stand for an independent world, where everyone can represent themselves on their own terms and build safe, nurturing communities. #indieweb is the future.
