This version is “proof of concept” only. To be considered so buggy, as to be unusable (even by me).

This post contains version notes, bug reports and versions for the noted version. Feel free to leave comments detailing bugs or features that you think would be nice. I will add them, then cross them out as they are taken care of.

Version Notes:

v0.4

• Started 2009-02-21
• So many changes, I don’t know where to begin.
• Cleaned up the look of the table
• Export now works using _POST
• Added DFXP Download – though end times are just hacked in. (needs to be tested more)
• Fixed soooooo many id related bugs.
• Added “sort” – may only be needed temporarily.
• Many more bugs, but it seems stable enough for basic, cautious use.

v0.3

• Started 2009-02-20
• Added some style (css and nifty logo) to the pages.
• Got export working with _GET vars and an iFrame  – borks on any large caption strings

v0.2

• Started 2009-02-19
• Purchased domain YouTubeCC.com (only clever thing I could think up).
• Moved to server with PHP

v0.1

• Started 2009-02-18
• Quick proof of concept – looks like this might just work.
• Hacked together with Coldfusion – won’t even run on new server.’
• Working: pause capture, new, remove, split and setStartTime.
• Also lots of bugs.

Bug Reports

• ID’s screwed up by setStartTime.
• DFXP uses 10min as default end time (total hack). Other end times suck too.
• Video does not start in Safari? WTF? Maybe I just need to get some sleep.
  

Feature Requests

• Export (YouTube format)
• Export (DFXP format)
• Sort at export
  
• Ability to add end time (though still hidden by default)
• Ability to add speaker name (also hidden by default)
• Edit style options (only really useful for DFXP export)
• Autosize text areas in table.
• Add play options (hidden by default): play on add (default on), Prestart seconds (default 1), Loop (default off – should work well with prestart).
• Make add/remove/split/sort into icons (will clean up interface some).
• Don’t allow improper timecodes.
• Don’t allow duplicate timecodes.
• Split on double return (like magpie).
• Add “how to” to start page.
• Upload/Save/Autosave
• Test in other browsers!
