Ahh, so something similar to twitch.tv's chat/stream setup?
Could be nice. Wonder if we can twist any of the existing web-based irc clients to do something of the sort...
yes around that. i will try to see if i can find something that can do that for irc clients.
I am the primary dev on the HTML5 player for Cinsay.com now and I can tell you having an HTML5 only site requires LOTS of work. In my opinion HTML5 is a great starting point but to maximize viewership (and minimize work) I suggest something like VideoJS that does HTML5 video with a Flash fallback.
I like the idea of the column styles. :-)
possibly a 'theater' mode where it dims out everything else on the page and makes the video as large as the window (so you can have it on a secondary monitor not full screen but still larger)
Hi, I have been trying to do allot of HTML5 video using the RaspberryPI. And I agree with thenexxuz that HTML5 is a serious business! Its not that simple to get LIVE streaming going. Replaying video is allot easier though!
Reading the website specs, i am missing more detail on how the user of the web site will experience its journey thru the site.
I understand that the main motivation is to streamline the production of JB, but it also needs to make the user experience to be easy, for non tech people, and cool for tech people, and this needs to be incorporated in the discussion. For example, We tech guys love some irc, but i bet that some just do not comment or participate because irc is a geek thing, we need to incorporate something that can attend both worlds.
on my idea we could have a different page layout for the live shows, where you will have 2 columns , 1 with 2/3rds of the screen and another with 1/3rd on the right. the right column would show the irc channel, in 2 ways one just for watching the comments (possibly without nicknames), and another with interaction where i can get a nickname and participate. on the left column, i would divide it in 2 rows the top part would have the video (preferably in HTML5 without flash requirements) and the bottom part would have the show notes where we could see live it being used but editing capabilities.
