Sync videos and PDFs

[Magnus Manske-2]

Hi all,

I am looking at  the Wikimania videos right now - great stuff!

I noticed that many talks have the slides uploaded as PDFs as well,
where we can browse to individual pages within the PDF.

Also, I noticed that there is a large blank space right of a playing video.

So, why not have the appropriate slide show next to the video as it plays?
All we'd need is some JavaScript interpreting a template that has
timestamp-to-page values.
I'd have done it but I couldn't figure out how to query the state
(playtime) of the FireFox <video> tag.
Anyone know how to?

Cheers,
Magnus

For the video tag the attribute that has the play time is "currentTime".
This sort of task will be easier once we are using the mv-embed library
as a few different plug-in types are mapped to a single html5 like
interface. See how timed text/wiki stuff works on metavid.org.
