Updates: Implement StoreRemoteMedia for v3 and port Embed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GNU social comes with two plugins that add important media functionality.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Not talking neither about ImageEncoder nor VideoEncoder this time, but rather
|
||
|
|
about StoreRemoteMedia and Embed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[StoreRemoteMedia](https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/plugins/StoreRemoteMedia)
|
||
|
|
fetches remote files when they are Linked in a note. I.e., when the major mimetype isn't `text`.
|
||
|
|
It usually fetches and attempts to generate a thumb, if there are no encoders, it drops.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Embed](https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/plugins/Embed)
|
||
|
|
attempts to generate a page preview from opengraph and oembed. I.e., acts when the major mimetype is `text`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We've changed so much with GNU social v3 that, regarding SRM there was
|
||
|
|
no possible port, just a full rewrite. The code of both plugins became
|
||
|
|
much easier of understanding and compact, while promoting the same
|
||
|
|
functionality with more stability.
