* Nixed some of the mongodb references--pretty sure we're done with that. * Fixed some awkward language. * Fixed : :: stuff. Sphinx lets you do :: so you don't need the additional colon. * Turned a paragraph into a .. note:: section. That makes it easier to notice and read.

====================
|
|
Enabling Media Types
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
In the future, there will be all sorts of media types you can enable,
|
|
but in the meanwhile there are two additional media type: video and
|
|
ascii art.
|
|
|
|
First, you should probably read ":doc:`configuration`" to make sure
|
|
you know how to modify the mediagoblin config file.
|
|
|
|
Video
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
To enable video, first install gstreamer and the python-gstreamer
|
|
bindings (as well as whatever gstremaer extensions you want,
|
|
good/bad/ugly). On Debianoid systems::
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-gst0.10 gstreamer0.10-plugins-{base,bad,good,ugly} \
|
|
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
|
|
|
|
Next, modify (and possibly copy over from ``mediagoblin.ini``) your
|
|
``mediagoblin_local.ini``. In the ``[mediagoblin]`` section, add
|
|
``mediagoblin.media_types.video`` to the ``media_types`` list.
|
|
|
|
For example, if your system supported image and video media types, then
|
|
the list would look like this::
|
|
|
|
media_types = mediagoblin.media_types.image, mediagoblin.media_types.video
|
|
|
|
Now you should be able to submit videos, and mediagoblin should
|
|
transcode them.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
You almost certainly want to separate Celery from the normal
|
|
paste process or your users will probably find that their connections
|
|
time out as the video transcodes. To set that up, check out the
|
|
":doc:`production-deployments`" section of this manual.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ascii art
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
To enable ascii art support, first install the
|
|
`chardet <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/chardet>`_
|
|
library, which is necessary for creating thumbnails of ascii art::
|
|
|
|
./bin/easy_install chardet
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next, modify (and possibly copy over from ``mediagoblin.ini``) your
|
|
``mediagoblin_local.ini``. In the ``[mediagoblin]`` section, add
|
|
``mediagoblin.media_types.ascii`` to the ``media_types`` list.
|
|
|
|
For example, if your system supported image and ascii art media types, then
|
|
the list would look like this::
|
|
|
|
media_types = mediagoblin.media_types.image, mediagoblin.media_types.ascii
|
|
|
|
Now any .txt file you uploaded will be processed as ascii art!
