Description

We need a system (Model+Views) to manage media files (images, video, audio). They need to be provided from different sources.
The following sources need to be supported for the beginning:

  • files placed relative to the show file on the same computer
  • files embedded into show files
  • files provided by media servers (for example mediamtx)

It needs to be possible to (import,) catalog and search these assets. Each media asset needs to get a unique ID that will not change, even if the asset gets moved. Dummy data needs to be provided if the data is missing. Thumbnail creation would also be helpful.

I think it would be the best option to make this system a subset of the show file class

Once this is implemented, the following tasks need to be done as well:

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by locating the show file class and determine how a media subsystem would fit as a subset of it. Review the required sources, catalog and search behavior, stable asset IDs, missing-data placeholders, and thumbnail creation; done means these requirements are specified and implemented across the media model and views.
