[xwiki-devs] integrating media streaming with xwiki? (was Re: Problems with scripting)

by Niels Mayer

walid.kharroubi(a)hraccess.com : > but do you think it's possible to implement a streaming service in xwiki > using groovy class with importing a streaming api(the streaming server will > be vlc for example)? > Xwiki is better suited as a framework for creating and presenting streaming applications but not for the actual streaming implementation. It is correct to look at implementations specifically designed for streaming (e.g. VLC, Darwin <http://developer.apple.com/opensource/server/streaming/index.html>, etc) rather than trying to tame performance issues such as object/thread overhead,. out-of-memory and running out of threads -- common issues when many long-running streaming downloads occur in a servlet environment.. On the client end, Xwiki creates the HTML/CSS/javascript scaffolding, with streaming implemented via streaming "plugins" in the web-browser (e.g. mozilla plugin, a java applet or flash). These plugins could be accessed in Xwiki via special velocity macros that cleanly encapsulate all the scaffolding required to achieve this. The macro would allow easy parametrization and placement of these "streaming UI objects" in a Xwiki-based document/application. For example VLC has a mozilla broser plugin that you can control with a javascript API. http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch04.html#id310965 suggests the following could be encapsulated within a velocity macro to implement this functionality: <embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2" width="640" height="480" id="vlc"> </embed> <script language="Javascript">  </script> In my experience, it is straightforward to integrate these kinds of things with Xwiki, once you get adjusted to the possiblity of "computation" happening in three places and at different times: browser, server and plugin; and figuring out the dependencies and interactions therein. Unfortunately, from a pragmatic perspective, expecting your users to install VLC or other special browser plugins is the kiss-of-death. Most users will just blow it off and move on to something else that uses Flash and "works right out of the box" for the majority of users. (Therefore you can be doctrinaire about being "purely open source" and it just means you'll be strongly limiting your customer base and needlessly limiting your own project's potential for success). It would be nice to have a truly abstract streaming media macro that would implement the same generic API for streaming media within Xwiki. The macro would determine at run-time, whether the browser is enabled with specific plugins needed to display a specific media type (such as the VLC moz plugin); if not available, the macro would dynamically switch-in the flash-based equivalent for people using IE or who don't want to install the VLC moz plugin. For example given a "mp4", the macro would first attempt to use VLC, on failure it might try the platform's browser-embeddable media presenter if media-compatible (e.g. MS windows media), and would finally try a "generic" flash player such as the Jeroen "JW" Wijering players ( http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/ ). Who else is working on streaming media issues in Xwiki? Would love to see some group interest and coding participation towards better integration of streaming media in Xwiki. Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: some of my work-in-progress on some streaming clients in Xwiki (not actual velocity macros yet, but at least they work). http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/JW-Player?raw=1 http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/YT-Chromeless?raw=1

[xwiki-devs] Need Help to Integrate Date Picker to Poll Application

by Chathura Prabuddha

Hai.. I'm trying to integrate the date picker to poll application date fields. I would like to know is there a way that to set the object property name (like $pobj.pollOpen) as the 'relative' in the javascript. ex: <script type="text/javascript"> var dpicker = new DatePicker({ relative : 'how to set the object parameter', language: "$context.language" }); </script> Also I want to know that can we use the date picker inside the #info macro. ex:#info("The poll is open from $pobj.pollOpen to $pobj.pollClose.") Thank you. ~ Chathura Prabuddha Ganegoda~ Undergraduate, Department of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. http://gacpganegoda.blogspot.com/

[xwiki-devs] inheritance or new datatype ?

by Benoît Benoît

Hi devs, It is possible to define two XWiki classes with a relationship of inheritance? Example: I have MyDocumentClass and MyHeaderClass, it is possible to say all properties of MyHeaderClass are properties of MyDocumentClass ? Maybe I should prefer composition to inheritance ;-) So, can I define a new datatype (like Number, String, TextArea, …), and create a propertie of type MyHeaderClass in the definition of MyDocumentClass ? Thanks, Benoît

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] New XE 2.0 Proposal

by Vincent Massol

Hi, I had already proposed a strategy for XE 2.0 in this thread: http://tinyurl.com/dacg4q Namely the idea was to release 1.9 final on the 1st of June and promote it as 2.0 on the 15th of June. Several persons have raised some objection privately to me and thus I'd like to make a new proposal: * We still release 1.9 for the 1st of June * We consider the 2.0 release as a normal release that we release early September: - 2.0 M1: 22 June 2009 - 2.0 M2: 13 July 2009 - 2.0 M3: 3 Aug 2009 - 2.0 RC1: 17 Aug 2009 - 2.0 RC2/Final: 31 Aug 2009 * During the 2.0 development period we continue fixing bugs and stabilizing the platform: - wysiwyg, rendering, office import - search w/ lucene plugin - known outstanding bugs * We add a new skin * We continue adding UI improvements Note that we must be careful not to overload ourselves since almost everyone will be a mentor for the GSOC and we'll have a lot of students to mentor during the summer. That'll probably slow us down by half during the GSOC period. Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent
