Before uploaded media files were checked by extension. This led to situations when a plugin can support file with specific extension but doesn't due to lack of codecs, for example. Since the plugin reported that it supports uploaded file type, the upload was being declared successful, but transcoding failed. The failures were not easy to debug. The change adds a new hook that could allow two-step checking of the content. The result of the hook execution returns a tuple with media type name, manager and a callable sniffer, that can be used to perform probably expensive checks of the content. Also the change adds implementation of the hook for video.
======== README ======== What is GNU MediaGoblin? ======================== * A place to store all your different media (photos, videos, audios, and more!) that’s as awesome as, if not more awesome than, existing network services (Flickr, YouTube, etc) * Customizable! * A place for people to collaborate and show off original and derived creations. Free, as in freedom. We’re a GNU project after all. * Extensible: Plugins allow you to add new media types (3d models? Presentations and documents? Yes, and more!) or extend old ones. * A real community, and we'd love to have you join us! Is it ready for me to use? ========================== Yes!
