Online video viewer and board viewer
Posted: Mon Apr 02, 2012 10:46 pm
I think it would be cool if we add a vid viewer and a board viewer somewhere to the site. I'm thinking something like a field where you chose a vid from your HDD and it uploads and plays it. It might even be made to interface with the player video folder or even the World Ranking. I'm sure you guys get the idea. It would also be great if you could simply send the link to someone and it would immediately play the desired video. The viewer would ideally include a counters window with all the usual stuff like 3bv, zini, cl/s, etc.
The board viewer would be similar, i.e. you upload an .mbf, say, and it shows you the solved board. You could add toggle-able overlays like borders delimiting the openings, and dots on the non-opening 3bv. Again a direct link to a generated board image would be cool. It would also be cool if it let you download the board in any of the standard board file formats. This would of course be redundant if all the clones could read the same format, or used the same format, but we don't live in a perfect world, do we .
A standard like 1 hour expiry time for the generated links would probably be good enough to avoid having Damien's space getting clogged up with garbage . Or, for the boards, we could just not have the direct link thing and the user can just use an image bin fcol .
ok, bye.
