Embedding Videos and Slides

by LanX (Saint)
on Sep 04, 2016 at 16:52 UTC ( [id://1171151]=monkdiscuss: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I'd like to have an integration of conference talks (like from last YAPC::EU) here to get better discussions/feedback.

One idea is to (automatically) integrate a link to PM per slide into the PDF, clicking would show a sub-thread in PM for this slide.

Another is to embed Youtube videos in a thread start here like reddit does.

Other ideas? :)

    Would this idea fit under the existing Tutorials section, where conversation and feedback can exist as normal comments, resources (videos, PDFs etc) can be linked to in the tutorial content?

    "integrate a link to PM per slide into the PDF"

    Is one link per slide appropriate? Wouldn't one link per presentation suffice? If the links were the same I think that this may be overkill.

    "Another is to embed Youtube videos in a thread start here like reddit does."

    IMHO a simple link to a video would be better, allowing users to choose how to view it rather than auto loading (if this is what you intend) a video. From experience this would also be better for low end devices in terms or resource usage.

      Not sure, have to look into it.

      Well the idea is that you get a deep backlink with the subthread, i.e. you jump directly into the discussed slide.

      People might come via a search engine to a subthread and can navigate directly to the slide (or video time mark).

      This needs to be prepared.

      Hmm, this should be configurable ... default could be to just show a pic from the first slide from slideshare or youtube and after clicking the embedding might be started.

      A prototype for this should be pretty easy realizable with a nodelet-hack.

      I.e. after finding a link to YT or SS a preview or embed might be loaded, according to privat options set in the free nodelet.

        What PDF dude? You want PDF generation links from the nodes here? Seriously?
