Yes. This plugin is broken. I am seeing if I can fix it.

The plugin is fixed.

Awesome. Cool idea about the playlist functionality

Hello qanatoz,

Thank you for your update to the TED plugin.

However, I still get the same index out of bounds error when I use this plugin. I am at present using Serviio 1.0. Is this an issue. I will try after upgrading to 1.0.1.

Thanks and regards,
Venkat.

Hi Venkat,

Can you please share links you are trying to load and you system details (Platform, OS and etc.)?

Hi qanatoz,

Thank you for your efforts. Your plugin works.

My Serviio details:

Serviio version - 1.0.1
OS - Linux Mint 13 - Cinnamon
Device - Panasonic Viera - P42X30D
Profile - Panasonic Viera With AVI Support

I am now able to see the TED folder with the following videos listed:
1. http://www.ted.com/talks/benjamin_zande ... ssion.html
2. http://www.ted.com/talks/robert_gupta_b ... icine.html

I now face a task of debugging a ffmpeg/avconv issue where mp4 files are not being transcoded.

Regards,
Venkat

The plugin updated


Changes for version 2.1:

• Fixed bug with media extraction

Hi qanatoz, thanks for the update. Will you be updating the plugins with Plugin versioning?
This way users can check if theres a new plugin update with current 3rd party apps

I read something today that ffmpeg are doing something cool with TED.com - http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-formats.html#tedcaptions

Think this will fully work with Serviio 1.2 which has subtitles support

Hi Xmantium,

Yes I will update plugins with this functionality. The getVersion() method come with 1.1 API and I missed it somehow.


This is really interesting thing. Did subtitles support also planned at API level?

I'm not entire sure but zip should answer how subtitles will work with upcoming Serviio... All I know it's gonna be awesome!!

Definately think a conference website like this, subtitles will be important for few.

I tried this plugin and yes, it is good and working, but yet no subtitles.
qanatoz, can we have TED subtitles somehow, even "burned" into video?

@nicksson,

Subtitles not supported on level of Serviio plugins API. Once this feature will be added to plugins API I"ll add subtitles support for this plugin.

Sorry, don't working now(

I'm waiting for the subtitles :/

Anything changed in this case?

Still no subtitles :/

Maybe I can make them
