Download / Cache Control
Now you can get into trouble if an interupted "cache" download results in a half finished file. The system should not store half downloaded files, and should offer a choice of playing from the original, even when a cached file is present. Related to this, it'd be useful to see the status of the live copy even when using the cache.

- Working for a while on a flash player page kills the sound, requires restarting browser.
- Keyboard shortcuts: skipping 5 secs back + fwd, do not work with this Flowplayer:http://activearchives.org/aaa/resources/172/
but do work with Adobe Flash such as here: http://activearchives.org/aaa/resources/147/
Could be possibly related to cache / mp4 module installation?
When you edit an annotation layer and while the edit is active, you click on 'srt': the exported srt file contains all timecodes twice.
However if you click on 'srt' when editing is not active the exported file is correct.
importing image
importing image from gallery -> bug http://activearchives.org/aaa/resources/21/ but the cache works ok: http://activearchives.org/aaa/media/cache/gallery.constantvzw.org/main.php/%3fg2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=30334&g2_serialNumber=1/ confusion with .php extension for an image?
Annotation layers
- Annotation fields don't remember their previous position:
- when fields are overlapping; underlying field cannot be reached
Unsorted questions and remarks
- Problem: I want to connect the film and the PDF. In the montage of the film i have reshuffled completely the initial order of the original text. I don't want to re-edit the order of the original text: How can I make an annotation layer in which the timecodes are not lineair ? to be able to connect to fragments in for example this order: 04:20, then 01:10, the 12:20 then, 13:00. Now the timecode is cleaned up automatically. For the SRT export this is great, but not for timing a document that cannot be shuffled.
- How do you add keyword 'people'?
by typing [[speaker::name]] ? or by adding name to parent keyword 'people'
The latter, you create a parent keyword (people) in this case -- you may simply temporarily use it as a tag in a random page, then select it as parent of the particular person tag (after which point you can remove the reference to [[people]].
- Hoe verander je de volgorde van items in de playlist?
Not possible at this time.
- Playlist does not 'time' clips starting at 0:00:00
- / in keywords break the system
Notes and feature requests
- Export, option to "clean"/strip markup.
Interface
Should there be a menu with shortcut buttons? (P: a special page is better?: move out of sight)
- In case of black starting frame: (http://activearchives.org/aaa/resources/172/)could be nice to allow choosing your favorite still to show up when video is not running (as in vimeo)
- Have title of annotation layer always visible in top bar
- Bug or previous feature?: Coloring the annotations that are not active grey helps to see where you are, especially when you have several timed annotations running in paralel.
- Would be nice: Preview of subtitles/annotation transposed on video.(or appearing under) Exact timing of fragments that take only a few seconds can be tricky. Correlation between txt and image difficult.
- The automatic scrolling up of the annotation layer consumes quite some time. Before a textfragment reaches the top of the layer, the relatedt location in the video has already past.
- In 'all video' list: implement scrolling through film code by Pad.ma ? Or is that too nifty / heavy for a wiki tool? (http://pad.ma/Vfsioie1/info)
- when you click "edit", the shortcut menu opens automatically. Peter finds this annoying: can it be changed to open only manually?

(13:47:31) b2kn: <- "wouldn't it be cool if we could do things like this?"
(13:47:49) b2kn: timed organization of the frames
(13:48:42) b2kn: also, it would be interesting to have a global navigation bar and playing controls detached from an specific video, and turn all the layers into annotation layers (referring to a global navigation bar/ timecode of the page)
Annotate images?
To add a collection at once ... add for example: http://video.constantvzw.org/vj12/ in one go? And sync?
