Notes

Media libraries and playlists

Goals:

  • organize my media so I can find things
    • e.g. music collection (LPs, mp3, CDs)
    • big on meta data, artists, when released

Challenges:

  • metadata attempts are inconsistent, e.g. composer vs performer, movements in classical music

Structured data for that:

Radio station of media posts from your friends

Brainstorming

What is the media equivalent of author?

  • executive producer? (joke...)

Specifically for music, who is the "author"?

  • performer
  • composer
  • lyric writer
  • producer
  • MP3 ID3 tag has only one field for this

Is there markup on the sites for ASCAP or BMI who handle payments to creators?

Who is the author for a video?

  • e.g. a Zoom meeting recording?
  • Author is the person who recorded it in simple video/audio
  • contributor for people involved - is part of the podcast spec

Best of lists

Examples:

How about list to experience?


Streaming from your own site

  • real time a/v for streaming, hosting & active progress watch, active realtime watch posts

What Aaron Parecki showed up last week

  • Facebook Live like streaming
  • aaronpk built this setup for someone else
  • aaronpk said he hacked up a chat for his live stream

How do you have live reactions

Media storage alternatives

E.g. storing images on IPFS instead of git for http://www.shimmy1996.com/ Tried a few other git extension

  • GitLFS, requires special support on the host server
  • GitAnnex can sync between a few sources you know, but no way to go beyond the number of devices you have

With IPFS it can mount as a filesystem on your computer. No special headers like HTTP To have compatibility with user space file system at /ipfs. Can then keep images as symlinks to their /ipfs location. Makes the whole blog git repo more portable, size is not that large. DNSLink offers compatibility with existing domain names, and HTTP gateways allows accessing IPFS contents via regular web browsers, i.e. http://ipfs.io/ipns/shimmy1996.com
