Ramsesx Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 On christmas we get a new gallery? Nice. Suggestion for the next chat: Matt can show if he really can play guitar or they are there for decoration purposes only on his office.

Randy Calvert Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 It's exciting to see the improvements coming to Gallery... I love the idea of being able to do more with video. One thing I'd be curious to see is if there are any plans to also look at image optimization for JPG, GIF, etc. Matt and SeNioR- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesuralem Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 No offense but many of us don't have time to watch a 1 hour video when we may be able to take 5 or 10 minutes to read a news or an article. I'm not saying the video is not a good choice but it should be accompanied by a text with the main points or announcement. Basically just an image of the slides presented would be a good start.

Chris027 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Live Topics sounds amazing, and like something I’ve wanted forever. Continuing the conversation after live is great, but also keeping the live conversation searchable for other to learn from, is huge. Question: Given the additional technologies used for Live Topics, will this be a Cloud only thing? I really hope not. That would be a bridge too far toward pushing people to the Cloud rather than letting us decide what works best for our communities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be cloud only because most of the functionality is in the cloud. It uses Node, React, Redis, SQS and a proprietary command runner system we built on AWS. The community code is very lightweight SeNioR- and Matt Finger 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dll Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Re the video encoding - I think a wider version of that was going to be an enterprise only thing at one point? Is the gallery version going to be available on other levels of the cloud offering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadknux Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Thanks for the updates - interesting revamp of the Gallery! Looking forward to seeing how that evolves. I am currently using a Pages database for a more editorialised media gallery setup (archival of official artworks, etc), and if I could replicate what I'm doing there with this I may just jump in and grab the revamped Gallery app. I had a question with that in mind; would it be possible (or can there be scope to add, in a future update) to connect or build a link/database relationship between Gallery albums and records in a Pages database? Either by allowing custom fields in gallery albums or some other method? That's one of the benefits for me to using a Pages-based media gallery right now (I have a DB Relationship custom field in the 'media gallery' database that, when linked to a Pages record in a separate database, will allow those albums and images to appear dynamically on the linked Pages record), but I would rather have the visual benefit of a proper gallery app that I can allow multiple users to contribute to, which can be linked directly to a Pages DB record.

opentype Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Feature request regarding that “pay for RSVP” feature that keeps getting mentioned: Please make it member-group specific. For example: I would love to create regular community Zoom events that are free for my paying VIP member group, but require a participation fee for regular members. That way, I could nudge people to become VIP members or at least get a one-time fee for the participation. @Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexWebsites Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I watched the video and it's great to see that gallery video transcoding will be a cloud only feature... That's sarcasm...I hope they at least did something with the titles for SEO. It really would nice if you allowed self hosting customers to use AWS libraries on their own. Or give a developer the ability to create these features and support with a plugin or app. That goes for all the "cloud only" features. Your cloud pricing is just not comperable to self-hosting, especially multiple licences. Clover13 and PrettyPixels 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clover13 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Pretty disappointing to see this proprietary cloud-only video approach. Video IS the wave and it's one of the biggest gaps to IPS. Video is HARD, so I'm baffled as to why IPS would want to incur the cost of enhancing this with a cloud-only solution and also incur the resource and storage cost for cloud customers (driving cloud pricing up in all likelihood) versus leveraging YouTube, Vimeo, etc and their APIs to make a cloud and self hosting solution that saves everyone time and money, as well as ports video handling into the hands of companies that have already mastered it.
