I'll try to implement that reconnect-logic, maybe with a timeout-interval, it sounds pretty good

but having a known configuration is actually something I really like

MaZderMind: I think in your known configuration model - the "last connection wins" is probably the right approach

it makes things predictable

yes

MaZderMind: when a talk scheduled to start at 10:00 starts at 10:01, (how) do you trim the 1 min of cruft?

I'm heading over to dinner soon

MaZderMind: I should head to bed soon myself

CarlFK: that's a looong story

MaZderMind: at the moment, the only part which really *needs* the configuration is your videomix and avsource elements

CarlFK: I think it would be better explained via phone/mumble/hangout

mithro: yes, but the GUI will need that, too

MaZderMind: na, pretty sure the end will be:

let me know when someone does that part.

:)

(a cut button)

I could imagine mithro will do that

"press cut, write down the time displayed on the screen, enter time into django form, hit save"

that's about what I want to see.

the thing is not the cut button but a recording-script which rotates the output-file. this script will run outside of voctomix then and just communicate with the video-socket and the control-server

CarlFK: actually the two bits could actually be trivially automated

mithro: what two?

I'mm afk, cya

MaZderMind: but once I replace avsource.py and videomix.py - is there much left of voctomix?

MaZderMind: at some point we should also discuss why using mkv is a terrible idea for your avsource format :)

MaZderMind: I'm going to head home now

MaZderMind: I assume you'll read the scrollback

MaZderMind: in summary, I'll need to give up the idea of dynamic sources to use voctomix and I'm still trying to figure out if I should do that

MaZderMind: anyway, we should chat more another time

MaZderMind: you have the advantage that you have developer time (your own) to get things working :)

Anyway, really leaving now

mithro: ping me when you get home. I am curious of your view of vocto's static config.

mithro: yes, sure, it's a videomixer :) a/v in, mix, a/v out

CarlFK: its 2am here

re mkv: I had a discussion with heftig on #gstreamer why mkv is better then gstdata - and also the fact that ffmpeg can read raw-frames in mkv via tcp is a nice addition

mithro: let's discuss that another time

My issues on come up when transmitting over the network rather then locally

S/on/only/

And probably only when things aren't going well too
