The Shot Validation View doesn't open in the version 3.4 (also latest version from git: development version release/3.4-45-g3a167bb2 and development version release/3.4-57-gcaf59640).
The log messages show this Error:
16:09:16 - advene.core.controller - ERROR - General exception <class 'AttributeError'> 'ShotValidation' object has no attribute 'reparent_done' <traceback object at 0x7fbbae538048>

After testing the test video in our advene setup we found some minor deviation of the timecode of the timeline/player and the burned-in timecode of the video. When playing and then pausing the video the timecode is either the same (see screenshot "Played&Paused2)

or deviates by 40ms (25fps) ("Played&Paused1).

However after clicking on the annotation with the deviation in the table view the timecode is synchronized. (see screenshot)

When clicking in the timeline the player timecode und burned-in-video timecode deviate by different amounts (approx. 5ms-30ms) (see screenshot "Clicking in the timeline_1)

This deviation stays the same when maneuvering frame forward or backward. (see screenshot:
![click in timeline_1_1frame forward]

On Ubuntu 16 and Ubuntu 17 with a standard install, snapshots are not generated, even though the player can play the video just fine.

When using the Video Player going to previous frame and then back to next frame the time changes by 1ms. By changing back and forth between previous and next frame the player time actually moves backwards in time. Is it on purpose or an irregularity?

A Videofile with the character % in the filename couldn't be associated (option "Associate a videofile")

While Advene runs from sources on Windows platform, an installer should be provided, which would install all necessary dependencies. The Advene 1.x win32 installer script should be rewritten.
Projects like Quodlibet or MyPaint are also python/gtk based (even gstreamer-based for Quodlibet) and provide Windows installers. They should be a good reference.

In the menu "Merge package" we would suggest a display of the elements to be merged in form of a tree-view:
Annotation types --> individual annotation type --> individual annotations
In this way each annotation could be easily assigned to a specific annotation type. Furthermore one should be able to select individual annotation types to merge/import all annotations of this type with one click.

The shot validation view-window minimizes itself after correcting a cut. (Approx. every 10th cut) (Windows 7, Parallels)

When trying to slplit an annotation in shot vlaidation view by clicking on a frame while holding ctrl the log shows the following error:
17:32:24 - Shot validation view: Cannot split annotation #37: out of bounds.
When I then enter timline view and select "Split annotation at player position" its no problem and the division works fine.

90 min Film with approx. 1500-2000 recognized cuts. Advene freezes regularly for approx. 20-30 sec when merging annotations or changing annotationborders for one frame.

Annotationfile won't save. After klicking on "Saving as" and defining Save Location and name the dialogue closes (as normal) but there was no file created and the old filename and "(*)" is displayed on the border of the program window.
Timeline view was closed at the moment of saving so it doesn't seem to be the known bug.
In-program log messages do not register any saving issues.

EDIT: The normal "save" seems to be still working
EDIT: An "ö" in the Filename was the problem. Perhaps an error message would warn the user and prevent data loss

Loading a package with large (many thousands) number of annotations leads to a degraded user experience, mostly because the timeline does not scale to this quantity of annotations. A proper timeline optimisation should be done (but in this case, a trade-off should be found with interactive features), but in the meantime, its behaviour should degrade more gracefully.

On Windows 7 Advene sometimes opens a window outside of the visible area of the desktop. The window can only be retrieved with short keys. This happens with and without a secondary screen connected.

During annotating saving the progress isn't possible anymore. When I click "Save package" or "Save package as" (i tried multiple different locations) this error appears: "Could not save the package: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'c:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\temp\adv_9xp4q\content.xml'"
Windows 7 - Version 1.0

In order to facilitate collaboration and versioning, facilities should be provided to enable easy git commit of packages (ideally in xml format so that diffs are readable) from the interface.

1. When clicking on import package the window doesn't open as a popup-menu but right to the videoplayer.
2. When detaching the view in its own window the width of the window cannot be reduced so that fits to the screen size. Is it a fixed width?
3. In contrast to the "merge package-function" the import package-window doesn't close when clicking on OK to import the annotations. Another click on OK will import the annotations again. Closing the window seems a good option the signal a successful import of the annotations.

A useful feature would be the possibility to annotate multiple values with autocomplete and Quick Fill (i.e. in annotation types where multiple values are allowed).
In Autocomplete: After a seperator (space?) autocomplete-Suggestions start again/ work again.
In Quick Fill: First ideas: Either by a timeframe (All numbers entered in a specific timeframe) or by another seperator: So one would enter: Number ShortcutForSeperator Number
A Follow-Up-Idea could be also relevant for the ontology: syntax elements like [TO] could become values in itself and could then be entered via autocomplete or Quick Fill.

The search function in table-view is easily triggered: When starting to write while the input field isn't properly activated the search function begins automatically. Because the search function is barely used during the annotation-process to opt out from this function would advance annotating in table-view.

When saving a view of the timeline the zoom value of the timeline is not correctly saved. (Changing e.g. from 77% to 59% when reopening the saved view or 100% to 77%.)

In Shot-Validation-View sometimes Screenshots are missing. Especially the first Screenshot of an annotation. According to our observation this happens predominantly with mp4/h.264 files. The same video as avi (mpeg-4 video codec) doesn't produce the problem. (Tested with the Win 7 version)

After right-clicking on timeline and then "Save view" the new popup-dialogue doesn't open (Saved views in the package can still be opened when opening a new timeline) (Setup: Parallels Ubuntu 17.04/ Advene 3.0)

Is there a way to offset all annotations tracks in order to sync them with a video?

When I open the Nosferatu package and associate it with a fresh copy of the movie downloaded from archive.org (Nosferatu-mid-3.mp4), I notice that the annotations are not in sync with the movie file. In my case, the movie is about 14 seconds behind the annotations.

For example, the first annotation on the actor track (Jonathon Harker) starts at 2:27.533 but the image that corresponds to this annotation starts at 2:41.900.

I'm searching the Wiki but cannot find anything yet.

Thanks

I try to import an MP4 video but the video is all striped
thank you very much for this wonderful job

When deleting the tag of one annotation, all other annotations that have been tagged are uncolored, though they are still tagged. (Creating a new tag with the same name but a different color causes that all annotations prior tagged are colored in the new color, even the one the tag was completely deleted from.)

Hello,

When installing on Ubuntu 20, i get this:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
advene : Depends: gir1.2-webkit-3.0 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages

Could you help me?

Best regards,
Waldir

When opening a package the annotations in the timeline and the snapshots above diverge.

When writing an annotation text in table view clicking on another application (e.g. browser for looking up a word in the dictionary) the entered (but not yet apllied- by pressing enter) text is immediately deleted from the text input mask and the previous annotation content is restored.

This does not happen in the quick edit mode where the text input-field stays open and the text-draft is preserved.

In the note taking editor advene uses sometimes a different screenshot for the timemarker than the main videoplayer shows. This becomes apparent when creating a timemarker at the end of a shot. The main videoplayer shows the first image of the next shot while the time-marker-screen-shot shows the last frame from the previous shot. Probably it is just a visual discrepancy and not relevant for the underlying timecode.

In the table view ENTER opens up the edit view when the wrong column is selected. This can happen after closing an annotation in the Content-Column and then moving to the right with arrows. In this case the Type-Column will be selected and ENTER opens up the edit view. The selection of the column is not visualized and creates therefore problems in the quick navigation within the table view.

When using the shot validation view it just stopped showing cuts in the SVV (in the example used) around TC 01:40:32 after having set around 791 cuts, even though there should have been some more cuts to see in the SVV (in the annotation timelime these cuts were visible though)

There should be a possibility to undo the deletion of annotation types.

A further observation concerning the timeline problems when dealing with more than 1k annotations in a file:
We annotated the first scene of a film with 1200 annotations and we used a video of only this first scene. Even with this amount of annotations advene ran relatively smoothly.
When we then switched the video for a video file of the whole film advene had massive lags (also after waiting for several minutes to create all neccessary screenshots).
So not only the number of annotations but also the length of the video file seems to be important for the capacity problem.

After creating more than 40 Annotation types and try to select only certain annotationtypes for display in timeline view, the "Ok" & "Cancel" buttons get pushed outside the visible area and cannot be clicked anymore.

This is the stacktrace I receive when running advene from a docker container with no $(HOME)/.config directory available. After creating .config manually, advene starts normally

For the purpose of further evaluation of a package with a large amount of annotations we propose a static non-interactive view of the whole package (cf. SVG export) that allows for resource-saving navigation and could be supplemented by additional elements of analytic layers.

Implement content type handler/parser for JSON content type.

Bonjour,

As the title suggests, I'm having trouble with the graphics overlay on Mac OS X 10.5.8. I'm running XQuartz 2.6.3 (xorg-server 1.10.3) with Advene-1.0.1.

I've downloaded the Nosferatu package. In it, there is a track named "test_svg" where SVG gfx have been added but they don't appear on top of the video.

Can you help?

Merci

By Resizing the inspector-box (right to the timeline) to the left the visible part of the timeline shrinks and the zoom values drop without changing the size of the annotations. The same is true for the box on the left side of the timeline. In some projects 100%-view (complete overview of the annotations of the projects without horizontally scrolling) is only possible when hiding inspector-box and annotation types-overview. Otherwise the zoom value is locked to a lower percentage. Pressing the + or - buttons or entering a numeric value doesn't help to reach 100%.

When processing a .mp4 video with mpeg AAC audio codec the Sound Enveloppe filter does only create an annotation type but no annotation. Changes in number of samples and selecting only one of the stereo channels doesn't solve the problem.
The advene video player has no problem with the audio codec.

Right-clicking on the timeline icon open opens a context menue where 'Display whole movie' appears as an option. But clicking it doesn't change the timelineview at all, no matter which zoom-percentage is initially chosen.

On Ubuntu 16 (not Ubuntu 17), resizing the legend column of the timeline by dragging the handle in the top-part of the component (next to the timecode marks) does not resize the legend column.

With the new version, it is impossible to seek with the slider just below the video.

Enter doesn't work in Quick-edit-mode in order to close window and apply changes (Setup: Parallels Ubuntu 17.04/ Advene 3.0)

If you click on the button for Fullscreen, Advene turns grey and stops responding.

In SVV implement Shortcuts for “previous cut” and “Next cut” (Suggestion: A + S +D or Y + X + C (reference: german keyboard))

The player control shortcuts (left, right, space) are all using Control as modifier, which may conflict with other needed shortcuts. Make this modifier (or the whole shortcuts) customizable.
