Managing power users

Using Jamroom

Hmm. I'm not seeing the additional profiles (see attached)

Is there something that controls who sees that? I am logged in as admin so I assume I should see it. How would I troubleshoot it?

Is there a way to limit what FIELDS a profile quota can modify in a form?

Managing power users

Can you post a screen shot? I'm not seeing this in the account settings.
The only thing I see is the master admin setting. That seems to show the account type but not the linked profiles.

I would also love to see the reverse. To look at a profile and see which accounts are linked to it.

jplayer alternatives

I'm going to stop worrying about those older devices soon. Time to let go....

Right now I encode all player-bound files to mp4. May even start h265 soon instead of h264. I'm doing this for both audio and video; so even my audio files play as video files. I just use the song image as a placeholder for the video.

However the thing that is missing the the Adaptive bitrate performance. I was going to start sending HLS streams but I think I'm gonna go straight to DASH. I'll use ffmpeg or add mp4box to the server to create the segments. The only thing missing is the DASH support in the player. I'll probably see if we can get dash.js to work with jplayer.

SM2 actually seems like a big step back. Flash is dead. And it seems it wont support video. And it does not bring the benefits of DASH or even HLS. Definitely not any improvment over what we have now with jplayer.


The the player is not involved in the encoding process, but it IS involved in the decoding process if you are streaming with HLS or Dash. A server side segmenter could create the segments.

You should have a look at these to start. DASH and H265 are the future.

Just stay away from the commercial solutions.

Managing power users

Using Jamroom

Is there a way to see all of the profiles linked to an account?
If so, how can you determine the default profile?
How can you set which other quota profiles are displayed on a main profile of a power user?

e.g. I have a quota (manager) that can create different types of profiles (labels, artists). -I want to know which profiles this user is linked to.
-Some profile is his manager profile. How can I tell which is the MAIN profile for the account?
- How can I determine which of his linked profiles are listed in his main profile?

Have you thought about replacing jplayer as the default player? It's been 2 years since the last release and there is almost no discussion about moving the player forward. There are much better players that support HLS and many newer capabilities. MPEG-Dash is even better starting to become more mainstream. I know we can always swap players ourselves, but I'm curious if you plan on updating JR core to support a more up to date encoding and playback experience.

Thanks.
