Implement seek preview
Last modified: 2014-01-24 08:40:30 UTC
Kind of like what you get on youtube. This is a proof of concept, there is still a bit of logic to add to prevent the preview from happening on a stream or a non seekable content, etc... I would like to know what people think :)
Created attachment 243894 [details] [review] backend: set size request instead of get_preferred vfuncs
Created attachment 243895 [details] [review] main: implement seek preview
Review of attachment 243894 [details] [review]: Why?
This is interesting (we actually have another bug opened about something similar, see bug 586982), but I think it should be implemented in the backend instead, and reuse a single video widget. Otherwise we just end up loading the file twice.
Review of attachment 243894 [details] [review]: To allow the bacon widget to have different minimal sizes.
Yeah, I don't really see how to do this with a single pipeline... Give that the preview is going to seek at different places. That's why I had in mind to only enable this for local files, other it could trigger a lot of traffic for remote files.
I'll mark this as a dupe of bug 586982, and ask for designer input. We might go for something in between the 2 solutions in the end. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 586982 ***
