I'm currently working on the ToDo list "Creator Annotations"

Publishers will be able to add their own annotations to their videos, at a particular time frame, this should be done within a couple of days

Obviously this is just a test, you wouldn't usually have so many annotations on the screen

It currently scales well, works in full screen (annotations scale and stay in place)
I want to make it work with multi line (it currently wraps well, but i want to be able to force a new line, so we can add things like links... even your own adds if you wish)

-- I've got to fix the position of the fullview button (this is custom to support annotations in full view)

I'll add an inline UI so that annotations can be places at a particular position with sliders and time start /end and fade in/out (default 10 seconds?)
Default annotations are above (I think I will make the alert one closable if I have time)
Possibly let publisher chose colours?

When you click

It'd be nice if it ends up in the
View attachment 324090
section.

It would be a nice demo of the "purchase" a tutorial (even though it's free)


It does, but... you need to complete a tutorial lesson 1st as a logged in user, you'll get a little green tick at the side once a lesson is completed
But, you'll only have persistence if logged in

Your lessons, should be in the order
-- Paid Tutorials (that you have completed / not compeleded / not even started)
-- Group Tutorials (that you have completed / not completed / not even started)
-- Free Tutorials where you have completed at least one lesson
-- Tutorials that you have paid for in the past but no longer have access to

I couldnt get the slider to work on your demo.
Not sure if that is to display a feature, or is a bug.
play/pause worked fine.
It's actualy core HTML5 (that slider comes from just a <video tag,)

I saw this too, not all the time, I thought it was just a html chrome bug, I still think it might be, but now you've made me look into it, it could be solved with ?stream

I'm going to check that out

Yup feedback here is excellent

Your feed back has been great.... I think you've found an interesting bug I hadn't thought of

This was a great test, and I can conform, yup, there's an issue with portrait full screen, nice find. I'll look into this one asap

Interesting, I've fixed this one (locally for now) without knowing it existed while working on the annotations

I'm going to push the fix for this asap, I just need to tidy up the annotations / turn them off

I think I have just solved this one too, not a bug with TTUT, but a bug with my compression (getting a 200 meg 10 min clip down to about 7 meg)
FFMPEG seems to do a much better job at compressing, I was using handbreak and it seems to mess around with meta data


These are the settings I am using now to compress videos:

Code:
ffmpeg -i inFile.mp4 -vf "scale=1280:720" -c:v libx264 -preset medium -crf 30 -r 25 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a aac -b:a 96k outFile.mp4

I've only update the "1. Setup Your XF Plugin" Tutorial so far, but it seems to have fixed it
 
This looks nice!

We currently use LearnDash:
Some important functionality it has:
  • Text lessons.
  • Video's can be part of text lessons.
  • Tests / Quizzes.
  • Assignments.
  • Sub-sections.
  • Notes & questions.
  • Mark as completed.
  • Dependencies. i.e. Set a course so that the student cant progress to the next lesson or course until previous lesson or course is completed.
  • Progress analytics.
  • Notifications based on criteria. For example: Remind student after inactivity. Ping instructor if course is 80% complete. Etc.
I don't now if you have any desire to offer such advanced functionality, but it would be nice to see a XenForo addon that does this.
 
Some of it, certianly

Notes and questions - yes
Mark as completed - yes
Tests and quizzes (maybe), I'm going to be using it myself to teach co-workers, this might be something that would be usefull
Subsections --- not sure what this is, the lessons can be added to sections (different sections, so far I use lessons and downloads, but part 1 2 ect can be used). The tutorials can be added to a Topic / subtopics
* Dependencies, absolutely. I want my students to do an exam end of each section and not go to the next until they achieve a certain grade. I can then ask, show me your competed mark, and I know they've gone through the entire tutorial (without skipping and having passed the exam)

I'm going to add some of those to my ToDo list


At the moment, I'm concentrating on getting Annotations working well 1st, will release shortly
 
think I missed the most important part out of the compressor: -movflags +faststart


Code:
ffmpeg -i inFile.mp4 -vf "scale=1280:720" -c:v libx264 -preset medium -crf 30 -r 25 -pix_fmt yuv420p  -movflags +faststart  -c:a aac -b:a 96k outFile.mp4
 
Tests and quizzes (maybe), I'm going to be using it myself to teach co-workers, this might be something that would be usefull
Tests and quizzes are useful in two ways:
  1. The student can test themself and get an idea if they grasp the matter well enough. If they fail the tests/quizzes then they should go back and focus a bit more on the topics that they failed.
  2. The instructor / teacher can see if the student has a good grasp of the matter.
Subsections --- not sure what this is, the lessons can be added to sections (different sections, so far I use lessons and downloads, but part 1 2 ect can be used). The tutorials can be added to a Topic / subtopics
For large Courses it can be useful to have more categorization of lessons. Either by having sections hierarchical or by allowing Lessons to have child lessons. Its not critical, but can be useful.

I can add you as a content creator, I'll just reject the publish (so nobody else will see your content), just let me know your username (here via dm)

-- its a cheap server, most of my videos I've compressed down from 150-200meg to between 3-10 meg. But feel free to give it a go (handbreak or ffmpeg are good compression tools, of you are not use to video compression, I recommend handbreak as it has a nice ui, both of those are free)

How many ways to make money if I buy your adds-on
Affectively you are only selling tutorials/resources, it's a tutorial plugin

You can sell each individually, or as a bundle, or as part of user upgrades for groups
See these 2:
Monetisation: Viewers
Monetisation: Setup

If you sell them individually, that will depend on how many tutorials you have
You can also sell the downloads (hence it can act as a resource manger)

So, that depends a lot on how many tutorials you make and how many resources you add
--- I can see that annotations could be used, but I think I would rather have a click based (or just a permeant banner)

No promotion areas yet, I think I should add that on the ToDo list

-- but essentially, I'm not going to lie, it will depend on your content. If you have tutorials people will want to buy, and if you have downloadable resources people will want to buy
