Remove Support for Audio Until Feature is Mature

[anonymous]

It would be great if Plumi could also support audio content

[and]

You can use one of the many plone products to support audio < https://plone.org/products>, or was there something specific as to it's behaviour in plumi that you were looking for?

This is currently being worked on during Critical Commons sprint.

Ready to test! Eg,  https://www.engagemedia.org/Members/provetza/videos/testaudio/

Cool! Successfully uploaded and played back audio here:  http://testing.plumi.org/Members/anna/videos/audio-test

But these items should really go into a different folder - an audio folder, as /videos/ doesn't seem the right place to put them.

So I suppose a /audio and a /images folder need to be created on install? And created for existing users on EM.org.

And items of these type should also be listed in the drop-down Publish menu.

[markos]

This will be a major change, if we decide to put audio and images on /audio, /images folders, as the /videos folder is used on many places and this might create problems in many different places.

An easier approach would be to rename /videos to /clips as it is on criticalcommons.org, or /media, although even this change would require some migration scripts on existing plumi sites.

So if we really want this, it has to be discussed for another milestone

[and]

Just a note that audio support isn't a priority for EM right now, in fact the way it's deployed on em.org seems a little clunky. Would suggest removing or hiding it as an option until it's smoother.

Going to push down.

Ok, moving back here now then, to say we should remove this option for now, as it doesn't seem mature enough to release as is.

(until we have time to integrate it within Plumi more sensibly)

I think /media is the best idea so far, let's discuss again when we re-visit.

For now, just remove this functionality, unless there's a major reason to leave it, then say so!

[markos]

I suggest we leave it as it is now. Audio uploads aren't advertised anywhere, but if a user uploads an audio file, instead of a video, the file is playable.

This functionality is good to exist in my opinion! If we remove it, an audio file uploaded (intentionally or accidentally) will result in an incomplete video page displaying nothing.

Ok! Let's just not advertise it, and work on it for a future release.
