Wikimedia Cooperation: Swift

Trial Website

TODO

  • Expand mwEmbed such that: 
    if (typeof tswiftTransport != 'undefined')

{

         // contact url2torrent.p2p-next.org

         // generate <video> <source> element based on 'swift' key

         // in JSON reply

}

if (typeof swarmTransport != 'undefined')

{

         // contact normal url2torrent, etc.

}
  • Autoseed more?
  • More permanent solution to 99% bug = fuzzy len.
  • Good quality video of Swift-on-Android
  • Good quality video of Swift-on-iPad
  • Update 3000 website with Swift enabled Sintel Wikipedia page.
  • Watch seeder.log growth

(* Report bug: upload.wikipedia.org returns 200 on invalid Range request (> actual content-length), not 416)

Known Issues

  • Seeking is currently not supported. The Swift HTTP gateway presently doesn't handle/accept HTTP range requests. Video controls do allow seeking, but that doesn't work well. Seeking without range requests not properly supported in FF? I also cannot find a way to disable seek at the GUI for the default firefox controls :-(

DONE

  • HTTP fallback implemented in XPI's JavaScript:
    • Fallback to 2nd <source> if swift.exe no start or no data (swift exits).
    • Fallback to HTTP URL if swift.exe delivered data.
  • Setup own url2torrent on ​http://url2torrent.p2p-next.org that generates tswift:// URLs in 'swift' response field.
  • Made trial code independent of normal SwarmPlayer, i.e. tswift:// and ​tswift@p2p-next.org
  • Fix for Linux not commencing playback (=rc2)
  • swift.exe as Windows app, not Console
  • Turn off autoswiftization for other videos, or set failover time to shorter (currently 5 s)
  • Logging Mac version
