Last active January 1, 2017 23:00
Synology NAS (or any other AFP-based shared folder) to Handbrake auto-conversion of avi/mkv files to mp4
-- AppleScript that mounts an AFP service (e.g. a Synology NAS Diskstation) then
-- searches for any .avi or .mkv files in the requested volume and converts all
-- the files it finds to .mp4 via HandbrakeCLI (which must be installed on your
-- machine at /Applications/HandbrakeCLI)
-- IMPORTANT: You may need to make sure your NAS does not sleep until ~4 hours of
-- inactivity has passed so it doesn't interrupt the mp4 conversion process of
-- this script.
-- Based loosely on the script published at http://cybernetnews.com/batch-convert-videos-handbrake-applescript/

General considerations for Media Focus scoping, lifecycle and events

Media Focus Scope

  • At what level should Media Focus be requested and granted/revoked?

    • Per Tab(s)
      • Per Origin(s)
        • Per Document(s)
          • Per Media Grouping(s)
            • Per Media Object(s)

  • High-level vs. Low-level scope - what are the pros and cons of setting the media focus scope at these different levels? Do we want audio focus to be set and applied implicitly to tab/document/origin content or explicitly to in-page media groupings or elements?
