RIBBBITmedia VOD -- The Beat Goes On

 RIBBBITmedia VOD -- The Beat Goes On

A lot has happened since October.

• There's a GitHub repository
• The "one page" is redesigned to use a tabbed interface
• There are now search links in the artifact details for people involved
• Multi-Factor Search is working now
• "(series)" now in pale yellow to stand out a little more
• Page header has been simplified, and now contains the artifact details when something is playing
• Cookies are now being used to capture the currently playing artifact and play position to permit resuming playback on page reload
• Cookies are capturing the state of "Settings" to allow them to persist across page loads
• Search factors added: year range, major type, SQL WHERE Clause
• Single and Group artifact creation works in the web UI
• Version numbers are gathered from API, CSS, HTML, and DB, passed to the JS UI, and listed in the footer of the page

Fresh load of the "One Page"

The "One Page" is done with a nearly black background and light gray font to aid readability and minimize shock to the eyes when being used in a "home theatre" setting, with low ambient light.

Artifact playback

Artifact details are included in the header during playback.  A clock display is also included in the header.

Add multiple artifacts

"Add Multiple Artifacts" is a new feature (not that you could tell by the lack of visual sense it makes)

Still to do:

• New function: Add Episodes to a Series
• Add some descriptions, directions, and (maybe) tooltips
• Clean up alignment of new forms
