[14:11:35 CST(-0600)] <jessm> monocultures kill kittens! http://www.webmonkey.com/2012/02/webkit-isnt-breaking-the-web-you-are/

[15:24:00 CST(-0600)] <Bosmon> Ah, cindyli

[15:24:13 CST(-0600)] <Bosmon> Yes, I now see the real curse of the earlier "for var in x" search scheme : P

[15:24:50 CST(-0600)] <cindyli> ah ha

[15:24:59 CST(-0600)] <Bosmon> Thanks, I think the impl is now looking very good

[15:25:04 CST(-0600)] <cindyli> cool man

[15:25:08 CST(-0600)] <Bosmon> I should probably merge it, unless anyone has some objections

[15:25:20 CST(-0600)] <Bosmon> I assume I have commit access to the videoPlayer repo, I haven't tried......

[15:25:25 CST(-0600)] <Bosmon> You could merge it yourself : P

[15:25:33 CST(-0600)] <cindyli> thanks a lot

[15:26:56 CST(-0600)] <Bosmon> What is "capscribe desktop"?

[15:28:26 CST(-0600)] <cindyli> Bosmon: might be this: http://www.inclusivemedia.ca/captionme/

[15:28:53 CST(-0600)] <Bosmon> I saw a comment briefly appear, about how we might get rid of the millis parsing code

[15:29:05 CST(-0600)] <Bosmon> But I can't imagine the need to deal with WebVTT files will ever go away

[15:30:47 CST(-0600)] <cindyli> Bosmon: "the need to deal with WebVTT files" will be taken over by captionator, for html5 version of browsers

[15:31:20 CST(-0600)] <cindyli> this has been in a pull request that alexn2 submitted. hope it will get into the master soon

[15:32:14 CST(-0600)] <cindyli> in non-html5, our current plan is to use mediaElement for the caption handling, but I have no idea how well it does the millis parsing. so, finger crossing. we may still need our own handling for non html5 tho

[15:38:47 CST(-0600)] <alexn2> cindyli: what do you mean by "millis parsing" ?

[15:39:33 CST(-0600)] <cindyli> alexn2: our caption handling script has a funciton to convert webvtt compatible timestamp (hh:mm:ss.mmm) into milliseconds

[15:40:28 CST(-0600)] <cindyli> which is essential for control the timing to switch captions

[15:40:46 CST(-0600)] <alexn2> well I did not have a chance to look into mediaElement captions in details but I think it uses caption format very close to webvtt one

[15:41:08 CST(-0600)] <alexn2> so if the caption format is the same we suppose to be good here

[15:41:19 CST(-0600)] <alexn2> I will do more research in this field to let you know

[15:41:30 CST(-0600)] <cindyli> great, thanks, alexn2

[15:44:14 CST(-0600)] <Bosmon> Ok, so it sounds like this implementation will just move into a different component

[16:00:03 CST(-0600)] <anastasiac> michelled, I've removed the dependency on the jQuery UI lightness CSS and pushed the changes to my FLUID-4556-high-fidelity branch

[16:00:28 CST(-0600)] <michelled> thanks anastasiac
