Is there a way to automatically populate videos with chapters or does every video have to manually have chapters entered? I have a large list of videos I would like to upload, all with their own lists of chapters. I'm looking for an easier solution than manually entering every timestamp.
I've created a Python script that automatically creates chapters for videos and uses ffmpeg to upload the chapter metadata in the video. I would like to upload videos to Sharepoint that include these chapters, but I've noticed that Sharepoint has their own manual version of creating chapters for videos that are uploaded.
Regarding SharePoint has their own manual version of creating chapters for videos that are uploaded, the specific steps are:
Upload videos first
Open videos, find the Video settings in the upper right corner, change the status of Chapters to On, and you can start adding Chapters manually. For details, please refer to this link.
Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is currently no built-in feature in SharePoint to automatically add chapters to videos. Including the officially recommended MS stream also requires manual operation.
To address your concern about the situation, we’d suggest you go to feedback on this issue, this is the best platform to let us hear from you and make our products and services better for you and others.

Is Sharepoint my best option to replace an aging network of fileshares? There's approx 1TB of data residing among 3 fileshares (1 DFS, 2 NAS boxes). A document management system is in place for new things - the file shares are now just read-only archives/legacy. Our users would simply need to be able to search for and open the documents.
Users are finding it difficult to locate their documents in the file shares and windows search does not often help. Sharepoint was suggested as something which would play nicely with Office documents (99% of the content) and have a good search facility.
Not being a Sharepoint Developer or having had any training on it, I'm getting a little lost. I have set up a test server to try it out using SP2013. I have managed to index each of my file shares and have created a search page. However, results aren't consistent with the indexted items. I assume I need to somehow get the relevant metadata from the files but I have no idea how to go about this.
Could anyone suggest some resources for help on this subject (my searches have mainly turned up paid-for Sharepoint addons or outdated blogs) and any experience of doing something similar? Also happy for any suggestions on ways to achieve this using other software/platforms.
I went with Microsoft Search Server 2010 in the end.
Sharepoint is basically optimized to be a document manager. I think you don't need to buy or donwload addons.
For your problem, metadata are the key! You need to properly specify the metadata.
I give you the theory of a plan document management in SharePoint 2013 :
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263266.aspx
A nice introduction to metadata :
http://fr.slideshare.net/gzelfond/document-management-in-sharepoint-without-folders-introduction-to-metadata
Be careful to use the Microsoft documentation for the beginning. From my experience, its difficult to start with this documentation because you have several things in it. There is also good books/ebooks that you can find easily to start well, and probably more simplified than MS documentation.
In my "Articles" resource in the manager I have a table that shows all my posts. There I see: publish date/Post Title/Author/Comments and Tags.
I wish to have also a specific template variable to be displayed into this table.
Do you know, if there is a way to do that?
(I am happy for every hint, because "Articles" doesn't offer categories,so I need to create this option by template variables.)
By the way, do you know why there is no active forum for ModX questions? It is very difficult to get feedback or help for this content management system.
First of all, articles is discontinued. I just setup a blog and I used collections for it.
Next: forums.modx.com is a good place, twitter is fast if you add the #MODX hashtag to your question. Best option: Link on twitter to your question in MODX forums :)
Now on your main question: there is no option in articles to modify the view in the backend. If you use collections, it's easy and even described in the official docs: https://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/collections
As you can see on the image, you can have images (and all kind of TVs) in the overview. Collections can display all kind of TVs
As Articles and Collections is just another way to present resources inside the backend, it's 100% compatible. So you can change from articles to collections quite easily.
I'm looking to use Redmine for document management. I know that Redmine is not ideal for this task but there is already a lot of content on the site so I'd like to utilize it if possible.
Redmine currently does not a have great documents module. The files we've uploaded look to be amended on that specific page and it doesn't seem to be able to move to another page (unless you download and re-upload to the proper page).
Idea 1
I see there is a Files section, which could work as a central repository (and you can upload document based on release) however, is there a way to set up a nice-looking 'front-end' page that automatically updates based on new submissions to the Files tab? I envision this front end to be a simple wiki page with the document name, a short description and a links to the file posted in the Files tab.
There are so many documents uploaded to varying pages on the Redmine site. I would only do the whole download and re-upload of files if there was a way to automatically update the 'front end' wiki.
Idea 2
I see there is a DMSF plugin for Redmine. Has anyone used this before and has is solved document management issues? I'd like to hear your feedback. Even if DMSF doesn't totally solve my issue, anything is better than what I have now.
Thanks!
In my opinion DMSF module is a perfect companion for Redmine. We have adopted it in our company. You can easily deal with document versions, webdav access, custom approval workflow, document modifications notification with the extra value of being well integrated with Redmine features (roles, dynamic links in Wiki and issue text and notes).
I am trying to download the full archive files of this website (http://www.afghanislamicpress.com/).
I tried using DeepVacuum (http://www.hexcat.com/deepvacuum/index.html) but the site is dynamic (I think that's the right word).
So you submit a form that gives the article archive, but it only spits out 5 at a time (i.e. per page) and then you have to click through. I want to download all the individual articles for the full data set, but don't want to manually click through.
I know there's some easy way to do this, but not entirely sure how.
Any suggestions for a novice at doing data scraping etc?
The most straightforward solution would be to contact the owner of the website and request their permission to republish their articles, and ask for a digital copy.
You can certainly automate pulling down content that is paged, but it requires some programming effort. The best tool for that imho is HTML Agility Pack.
Please be sure and comply with copyright and licensing terms of the content you are downloading.
I'm currently working on a project requesting to integrate or connect Sharepoint to TYPO3.
Share point will somehow replace the fileadmin of TYPO3.
So what I mean by "integrate" or "connect" is the following points:
To display lists of documents from sharepoint on TYPO3 pages through the TYPO3 BE by using some tag or category. In short accessing sharepoints document in the TYPO3 BE.
To be able through TYPO3 to search documents from Sharepoint. And to filter them by type or category. And of course to display the results.
I found some references on the web.
The obvious one was the sharepoint connector SPTools of TYPOTYCOON but it seems dead as there are no fresh news on the website and no activity on the twitter account.
I found also two extensions on the TER (WSS/MOSS Reader and WSS/MOSS Writer) last uploaded December 2010. Surely outdated - Did anyone ever used them? have some feedback?
I found also some references about CMIS and the TYMIS extension but couldn't find it on the TER.
That's why I come to you, hoping you have some solution, useful feedback or lead at least...
Starting in TYPO3 6.0 the new File abstraction Layer (FAL) [1.] was introduced. This gives you the possibility to split the file storage from the files used in TYPO3. As the result fileadmin might contain any number of virtual mount points of any supported storage. Multiple (local, WebDAV) FAL drivers come preinstalled and there is an Amazon S3 driver at [2.]. I am not aware of any FAL driver development for Sharepoint. So this might be up to you to resolve, but these hints should get you started.
