micolous[m]Weird...00:03
CarlFKwhats weird?00:06
xfxfCarlFK: ty for your help earlier, rubyconf went well, all videos up00:12
CarlFKtoally weird ;)00:13
xfxfwhat's the status update on the LCA conference close video?  i was pinged about it earlier - again happy to help action stuff if you need.  i'll deal with the slug fun today...00:13
CarlFKold copy needs to be pulled from the LA mirror, new one needs to be put up, someone (you) should double check that all the copies are really the same (58 min long is a good check)00:15
CarlFKand then it's clear for public/tweet/done00:15
xfxfsweet, i'll do that today if you want00:16
xfxflast night was interesting: the entire LCA2019 YT channel was shut down due to 'spammy/deceptive behaviour'00:16
xfxfmithro chased it up and apparently it's because we disabled comments on the systemd video and a bunch of angry people then reported/flagged the video00:17
xfxfwhich is both hilarious and scary00:17
xfxfback online now anyway00:17
CarlFKall tobi cleared the conference close, I sent out the url email - so its moving down the pipe00:17
xfxfexcellent00:17
CarlFKI saw the youtbe thing. yeah, all that00:17
xfxfand yeah, i'll check over the mirror files today, i imagine that's going to be interesting00:18
xfxfCarlFK: rubyconf also had a transcriptionist who was keen to work with me on integrating the captions into the videos01:07
xfxfpoked around the steno software she uses, it appears to support streaming text over the network in some proprietry protocol, often used on court rooms etc01:08
xfxfi think i can probably write something that pretends to be the device, and we can then save that alongside video data in realtime01:08
xfxfi've asked her to provide a quote for pycon au - if that goes ahead i'll see what we can do.  would be neat to integrate it into our pipeline01:08
CarlFKsee if you can get data for the current event01:09
xfxfyeah, i have that, but it's ascii files with timestamps01:09
CarlFKcan you put it somewhere I can play with01:09
xfxfplan was to play with that first, but we want the text in real time if we're going to integrate it into veyepars workflow01:09
xfxfi'll forward it to you01:09
xfxfemail forwarded01:10
CarlFKoh gross.  did you look at it?01:11
xfxfyes, it's pretty hard to parse01:11
xfxfthere's proprietry formats I can get too, but the specs weren't easily obtainable01:12
xfxfhence my comments above about getting the data in real time - we can save it out however we want then.  the issue with files is we only get them at the end of each day01:12
xfxfwhich will hold up video processing01:12
xfxfforwarded you another email, it has transcriptions from an earlier event in the software's proprietry format01:14
xfxfi kinda came to the conclusion trying to parse it was a waste of time though, writing some python server that pretends to be the device court rooms use for live transcriptions is a better route01:15
xfxfalso: transcriptionists make us look dirt cheap :P01:16
xfxfstill would love to figure out how to do it with volunteers, but I don't think it's ever going to be something that you can get newbies good at rapidly - we can't simplify/abstract it like we can with video stuff01:18
CarlFKscc is the best format I got from the 2 years of Chris's nbpy01:19
xfxfand I totally don't see any success in an attempt to encourage some volunteers to do it regularly at user groups or whatever - hell getting people to do video stuff regularly is hard01:19
xfxfah, you've parsed it before?01:19
CarlFKyes01:20
xfxfdifferent steno's use different software, so i suspect the file formats will be different01:20
CarlFKit's like video ;)01:20
xfxfhooray01:20
xfxfffmpeg does steno formats, right? :P01:20
CarlFKand cat videos.01:21
xfxfCC'ed you on an email01:22
xfxfoh man.  there were SO many cat videos at rubyconf01:22
xfxfthe biggest thing I learnt from it is the ruby community really really loves cats01:22
CarlFKI think we need to tie it into voctomix and streaming - that's the only way the steno people/conf people will help get things integrated01:23
xfxfyeah, i had ideas about that, use gstreamer to provide a transparent layer of the live transcriptions overlayed on the stream01:24
xfxfbut I agree, it needs to be visible live. otherwise it becomes a 'later' problem which holds up everything01:24
CarlFKI wouldn't try to render the text - leave it as text in a ... media track?01:24
CarlFKall the things already support subtitles.01:25
xfxffor the uploaded videos yes - WebVVT.  talking about the YT streaming tho, I don't think there's any mechanism for it there01:25
CarlFKI bet there is01:25
xfxfwell, if there is, then ya, use that01:25
CarlFKyoutube vids have subtitles and a pretty nice editor (I used it a few months ago to put lyrics on  a song)01:26
xfxfi'm talking streaming :)  i know YT vids support WebVVT01:26
CarlFKI can't imagine yt doesn't support captions01:26
CarlFKyt live01:26
xfxfah, yt live does have a 'caption ingest URL'01:26
xfxfthere you go, is possible01:26
CarlFKim surprised its separate01:27
xfxfeither way, it's something I'd love to solve - i just haven't recorded any events with transcriptionists in forever, so haven't had a chance01:27
xfxfi'm not, I don't think any of the current web streaming protocols support it01:28
CarlFKI wonder what CCC does01:29
xfxfi think they roll their own solution01:29

xfxfCarlFK: forwarded you lots of alternative format transcriptions09:08
xfxfI don't plan on doing anything with them for this event officially, but may end up playing with them for curosity09:10

xfxfhooray, all LCA videos done.  bar two of peter chubb's but i suspect clearance just won't happen, so shrug16:15
xfxfi wrote a dirty quick script to generate a markdown index too, http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2019/FILES.md16:16
xfxfslugs fixed as well, both filenames and in the database, and removed old files16:16
CarlFKnot quite done yet.. I gotta bug Jake about fixing archive and  presenter kathy wants to know why her vide isn't up:  https://veyepar.nextdayvideo.com/main/C/lca/S/lca2019/E/14543/16:28
