Tai Chi deck #53

Open sbenthall opened 3 years ago

sbenthall commented 3 years ago

This website has several openly available (according to @davclark ) videos for training Tai Chi movements.

http://taichi.reallygoodmoving.com/

This issue is for making a PGBG "deck" for these videos.

Finding the videos currently involves scraping around the static site code. It looks like they are hosted on vimeo.

One possible implementation:

A different implementation would have the card display include the embedded video (in discord) instead of the picture.

All tai chi videos with me on that site are hereby licensed CC-NA, including permission from the woman in some of them. I have this permission via email if needed.

sbenthall commented 3 years ago

Thank you! Any chance there is an organizing page indexing them on vimeo?

ideally the info about them would be organized as a CSV file. ultimately it has to be shaped like this: https://github.com/yrevocnu/psychedelic-glass-bead-game/blob/master/assets/decks/yrevocnu.csv

The videos with me aren't served from vimeo, just mp4 files behind a web server. I do not have rights to give for JO's videos.

Would it be helpful to see the jekyll + Elm code for the site?

EDIT: looking at how things are structured now, we definitely don't want to commit videos here (unless you want to use git annex with urls?). Can the CSV format be extended to support URLs directly? You're also going to have to do a bit more work to show a video player instead of an image tag. Maybe there's a more general issue to solve here with video in general?

It looks like discord bots cannot embed videos.

That precludes the simplest solution that comes to mind.

Providing a per card link (see #22) to the videos uploaded some place (maybe the yrevocnu YouTube account could work.

We could also re-encode to GIF or something? (medium post on serving GIFs on discord). Low-res doesn't seem problematic to me, but I guess the lack of simple player controls may be irritating? But I'm open either way. I would mildly lean toward vimeo, as youtube has the annoying marketing, "watch next" behavior that I think you can't turn off anymore.

sbenthall commented 3 years ago

That's an interesting idea.

You almost certainly have a better sense than I do about what it would mean for those videos/images to be "usable".

A GIF would be closer to the current card implementation.

I'm quite excited about this feature, but am prioritizing a few other tickets more than it for my own reasons. If you can figure out an implementation that does not depend on #22, then if I were you I would go ahead to work on a PR. @benheller gives wonderful feedback. I'm happy to try to answer any questions on this issue.

Or, if you'd like to wait for me to implement #22, then if you make the videos available on-line in some way that can be linked to (vimeo is just fine), that would be a step forward.

davclark commented 3 years ago

I like waiting for #22, and seeing if that "works" and if not try gifs or similar.

sbenthall commented 3 years ago

Would you be interested in trying a different ticket yourself? I think working on this application is fun. The web interface needs a lot of attention (I have been focusing on the discord interface). Maybe there is a way to integrate Svelte.
