Completion support for videocite link with org-ref #30

Closed promisedlandt closed 3 years ago

Hello Yuchen,

using org-ref, I have completion support for cite: links, with ivy-bibtex. But I have no completion support for audiocite or videocite. Do you have any hint on how to set it up?

I think the workflow is a little different from org-ref: In org-ref, we insert the citation key. In org-media-note, we insert the media file and the timestamp.

Thus, the basic workflow:

  1. open the media file using mpv
  2. insert current timestamp, screenshot, subtitle, etc.

In step 1, you can:

  1. manually find a media file
  2. open the file which is the file of a citation key

Then, the question is, which citation key? By default, org-media-note will find the key stored in Custom_ID property of current heading and auto open the corresponding file if you call org-media-note-mpv-smart-play. You can also customize the field name by org-media-note-ref-key-field.

My usual workflow:

  1. create a note by org-ref-notes-function, this will creates a note like (depends on your note template):

** 01 introduction (part 1) :PROPERTIES: :Custom_ID: course.957 :AUTHOR: Michael Collins :END:

cite:course.957

  1. call org-media-note-mpv-smart-play under this heading will auto open the mp4 file, because the bib entry records the media file location:

@misc{ course.957, title = "01 Introduction (Part 1)", author = "Michael Collins", formats = "mp4, pdf", file = ":/Users/yuchen/Courses/Michael Collins/01 Introduction (Part 1) (957)/01 Introduction (Part 1) - Michael Collins.mp4:MP4, :/Users/yuchen/Courses/Michael Collins/01 Introduction (Part 1) (957)/01 Introduction (Part 1) - Michael Collins.pdf:PDF", custom_duration = "11", series = "[COMS W4705]Natural Language Processing.01 Week 1 - Introduction to NLP", volume = "1"}

  1. make media notes ;)

Thank you very much for the detailed description. It's not what I want to do, but I understand much better how it is intended to be used now. Everything with org-media-note works great, it's the steps before where I can not do what I want :smile:
