=== Website rebuild === | |||
'''Responsible:''' [[hist:Rhys Milling] and [[hist:Ben Allen]] | |||
'''Status:''' In progress | |||
''' | |||
The old website is a rather difficult php site with very little in terms of an API. The rebuild is an attempt to both separate the site into components (front, back, api, auth and special pages) and make the site more easy to build upon in the future. | |||
=== Archive Server === | |||
'''Responsible:''' [[hist:Connor Sanders]] | |||
'''Status:''' In heavy development | |||
Write an interface to the Archive server to search for items by name or tag, and retrieve them either by download or to a network drive. | |||
Update 03/08/2021: This is under major rebuild. Previous system has been gone for some time and new method will be a more general archive to link between any and all resources we have. | |||

Update 03/08/2021: In process of being remade for modern systems as 'web-auth' although we do have some fairly well integrated system with the Windows VM's Domain. | |||
== | === Document All The Things! === | ||
'''Responsible:''' | '''Responsible:''' [[hist:Connor Sanders]] and/or/as [[hist:Heads_of_Archives]] | ||
'''Status:''' | '''Status:''' In Progress | ||
Basically, write up documentation on everything YSTV does on here. Big project! | |||
Update 03/08/2021: Wikis reconfigured and restored. New organisation near complete. | |||

=== Continuous Channel/Scheduling Engine === | |||
'''Responsible:''' WAS [[User:sam.nicholson|Sam Nicholson]] NOW [[hist:Rhys Milling]] | |||
'''Status:''' Being rebuilt as 'playout' and 'video-transcoder' | |||
Write a scheduling and automation tool to allow the Scheduler to come up with shows, and autofill idents, trailers and graphical overlays to make us more like a "real" TV channel. Known as [[Tarantula]]. | |||
Update 28/05/2013: Now working enough to be used, tracked at [https://ystv.co.uk/trac/Tarantula]. Won the 2013 NaSTA Technical award. | |||
Update 16/10/2013: Deploying now. | |||
Update 03/08/2021: It's been ~8 years - we're considering doing 24 hour streams as soon as we can - some system like this needs remaking | |||

Write a similar wrapper to the video server one for recording on OBs using the capture cards, along with a client to provide a director with record/stream controls, matrix controls, a running order and potentially internal IRC in one handy window. | Write a similar wrapper to the video server one for recording on OBs using the capture cards, along with a client to provide a director with record/stream controls, matrix controls, a running order and potentially internal IRC in one handy window. | ||

Negotiate with IT Services for an external firewall hole, so that YSTV mailboxes can be read using regular clients or phones from off-campus. At present on-campus works, with this running to completion it's probably worth documenting how to set up external YSTV mail. | Negotiate with IT Services for an external firewall hole, so that YSTV mailboxes can be read using regular clients or phones from off-campus.

Update 16/10/2013: Scrapped due to HD upgrade completely changing how this will work | Update 16/10/2013: Scrapped due to HD upgrade completely changing how this will work | ||
=== New Muxes === | |||
'''Responsible:''' Michael Chislett | |||
'''Status:''' Scrapped | |||
Build a pair of chainable 8x8 video matrixes, as prototyped for NaSTA 2011. See [[hist:P169_Replacement|the history wiki]] for more. | |||
Update 26/06/13: Will not work with HD, but might be useful for making for the analogue OB trolley | |||
Update 28/04/2014: Needs a power supply, and code for controlling the matrix chip writing/finding. So scrapped until someone with enough time can look into it. | |||
=== Jack/JAAK === | |||
'''Responsible:''' Michael Chislett | |||
'''Status:''' Scrapped | |||
The mother of all abstraction layers for the video and audio paths. JAAK will essentially be the auto-router, with simple monitoring of gear statuses. | |||
Shiny things JAAK will do: | |||
* Cope with instruction (graphic touch screen apps) such as "patch studio 92 to DaVE 4". JAAK then goes off and finds the most suitable routing path (shortest and non-conflicting with existing paths). | |||
* Not need a user manual. | |||
* Poll serial ports for new YVP compatible devices | |||
** auto-initiate them. | |||
* Have an advanced command interface, supporting commands such as DO, WHEN & ON. It will also cope with basic logic and events such as time, and whole system I/O events. | |||
* JAAK will also detects and avoid (it already can) things such as routing loops. | |||
Update 28/05/2013: Updated status to on-hold pending HD roadmap completion | |||
Update 28/04/2014: Scrapped as not really required - all routing goes through the one [[Videohub]] | |||
