Video Player

This page is for an old project that is not be part of Google Summer of Code currently. If you are a student looking for projects to get involved with we suggest you check out the projects linked to from the main page of this wiki.

If you are interested in the mechanics behind video-heavy sites like TED, Ustream, and YouTube - this is the place for you!

Some of the features we are looking to code/build into our video player:

• Embedding/sharing/social bookmarking options
• Custom embedding option for longer content - video snippets via user selected start and end points, and auto-generating embed code
• Allow user to "pop-out", resize, select viewing quality options on video window
• Allow "chaptering" and linking to timecode within video timeline
• Ability to embed basic text and links on top of video
• Ability to broadcast slides and presenter side-by-side
• Enhancements to our live webcast environment, including spaces for live chatting and twitter hashtag stream

We'd love to pick a few of the above enhancements to work on over the summer. We will share the results both in our interactive space, and with the world as an open source features library.
