schestowitzI don't know if such an option exists in ffmpegJun 21 08:45

schestowitzI have found this example of how to have static and animated, but I am guessing the browser will load both in the background: https://codepen.io/QDeltaE/pen/VWGYOBJun 21 10:42

schestowitzat this point I think that making the pages smaller (too many videos) each month would be the way to go, but how to implement the slicing I'm still thinking about...Jun 21 10:43
schestowitzok, 4 things done:Jun 21 12:10
schestowitz1) I improved the iframe a bit, it dodges JS as a barrierJun 21 12:10
schestowitz2) made two option for the script, monthly or past week (by default, overnight, it will show for past 7 days alone)Jun 21 12:11
schestowitz3) if you hover on top of the image, it will show its date of publicationJun 21 12:11
schestowitz4) the videos will be listed based on date rather than based on filenameJun 21 12:11

schestowitzI am very frustrated this morningJun 21 15:37
schestowitzoverslept 2 hours, partly by intentionJun 21 15:37
schestowitzthen shuffled around many machines as news was slow and not many article ideasJun 21 15:37
schestowitzthen I lost a video about Lunduke and vaccinesJun 21 15:37
schestowitzthen took an hour of investigation to tackle (pulseaudio BS and more stuff on the stack going crazy... when is why in the first video of the day I could not get playback to work)Jun 21 15:38
schestowitzI think that to make up for it I will work extra hard now... to compensate a bitJun 21 15:38
Techrights-secIt took a long time for the xxxxxxxxxxx to blow over, here.Jun 21 15:41
Techrights-secHow did the video get lost?   Maybe the work flow can be modified toJun 21 15:41

Techrights-secOuch   Jun 21 15:54
Techrights-secIs there a way to visualize the sound as it records or to do a separate,Jun 21 15:54
Techrights-secparallel audio track?  I notice that some vloggers have explained their Jun 21 15:54
Techrights-secsetups and do a separate track.  Usually they clap their hands once andJun 21 15:54
Techrights-secedit that out, in order to be able to synchronize the backup audio trackJun 21 15:54
Techrights-secHowever, although doing it all in one take with no editing is less workJun 21 15:54
Techrights-sechaving the option to go in and edit in the sound would save situations likeJun 21 15:54

schestowitzI do audio only with Tim, who has been busy with his kids lately. BTW, on Rianne's laptop in FF the iframe is also empty, I assume because of some ad-blocking extension or similar. But if you click a video it still opens up OK in it. I will do more iterations on it. I had a shit dat.Jun 21 17:21
