luceos yep, a tutorials platform is the main real-world use case I see for this with the features that will be implemented. It wouldn't be too hard to link it to some sort of paid subscription through a group or a more advanced pay-per-video module.
My personal use case is to use this as part of a self-hosted home entertainment server.
But for now it's mostly an experiment to see what's possible because I have recently tested a lot of different player options and none of them satisfy my needs completely... Which seems inevitable every time I look at new technology 😂 So I want to give it a try to see for myself what is doable.
We will definitely throttle the network and work on the player feedback to the client during network issues because it's my main problem with some of these players. I'll go into more details during the streams.
Darkle somehow replace the discussion system
It will be a separate set of pages on the forum, and the regular discussions will remain available.
The comments will use discussions in one way or another. I don't think I will re-use the discussions table for videos, that would be too bloated, instead there will be some sort of relationship between videos and comment thread discussions, with those special discussions likely hidden from the forum.
I will try to implement timestamp mentions in the comments, that shouldn't be too difficult and would be an interesting feature.
