Here we are, deliverable day. Kevin and I have been gearing up for today’s release by fleshing out the feature set on our player project and iterating/fine tuning what was already there. If you’ve been following my series of blog posts you may have an idea of my portion, but I’m only half the team! Watch out for the second half of the release notes on Kevin’s blog. We’ve been working on entirely different feature sets, so we decided to split release notes up.
- TTXT-formatted subtitles
- Test suite framework
- Remote retrieval of JSON-formatted chapter data
- Simpler library interface
Kevin’s own work has been on local data storage, statistics and user interactivity. Looking forward to December 7th’s 0.3 Release, I’ll be focusing on inclusive and accessible design, a few bug fixes, and data display. These come in the form of:
- A multilingual (French and English) interface
- Keyboard-driven player control
- Ratings display
- Captions distinct by movie
- Captions on/off
Time permitting, I’ll also try to integrate captioning with the Google Translate API. Stay tuned for further project updates! You can view the current status at version 0.2 here.
