Paella Player: Show video sections

[LukasKalbertodt]

Sometimes Opencast segments the video into sections, e.g. based on slide detection. We should use that information and pass it to the player and potentially also render something ourselves.

Stumbled upon this gem: Does this information really go via Tobira? I thought this is information Paella gets from Opencast. The other way round, I didn't see any slide preview only just now... which is definitively unacceptable.

PS: Also reminds of the "pin-point" search we will have to tackle at some stage, where the search results highlight the part of the video where a search term can be found. For this to happen, you probably need the information in Tobira.

The "sections" feature can be thought of in several ways. Sections should be user-customizable (e.g. based on timestamp parameters (#191)).

(1) Video Chapter markers / Video chapter bookmarks

related: Opencast Chapter Editor

• Concept draft
• POC

(2) Video jump labels (auto-generated), e.g. from transcript

(3) Video jump links / anchors (e.g. description)

• e.g. YouTube: Auto-Converting time-syntax in Description or Comments to jump link to timestamp, e.g. 0:20, 1:19.
• e.g. "chapter" - table or list with video jump links / anchors

(4) Opencast Segments

(not a suitable concept for end user sections)

I think there's a misunderstanding here, Manuel: This is about the absence of slide previews created automatically, either as hover-over in the timeline

or a separate line.

We know you want a chapter editor, but this is not the ticket to ride ...
