The audio archives of the CNRS – Musée de l’Homme gather commercial and unpublished recordings of music and oral traditions from around the world, from 1900 to the present. Consisting of diverse types of media (wax cylinders, 78 rpm, vinyl records, magnetic tapes, audio CDs, born digital records), these archives are among the most important in Europe in terms of quality, quantity and diversity.

ChangeLog:

• Minor bug fixes and improvments
• Fix HTML5 audio compatibility (#173) for the web audio player. The SoundManager Flash player fallback should not be used in most modern web browser. Media files are now serves through Nginx (#155) which enables to stream music with byte range requests.
• Add a User permission "can_run_analysis" to specify that a user or a group of users has the right to list and select advanced Timeside analysis to be displayed in the Timeside web audio player.
• Temporarily remove Timeside server from INSTALLED_APPS until the development of this application is more advanced and is really used by Telemeta.
• Add enumeration management and statitics
• Improved media security allowing streaming through Nginx only from the application
• Add TimeSide as a submodule
• Add a validator for …

After months of hard development, I am very pleased to release Telemeta 1.7! It includes many transparent changes, mainly upgrading a lot of dependencies, especially those brought by the audio engine TimeSide which has also been released in its new version.

• Based on TimeSide 0.9
• Use Django 1.8
• Rename some directories
• Better video streaming
• Better logging

• https://github.com/Parisson/Telemeta/compare/master...v1.6

git pull origin master
git submodule update --init --remote
docker-compose run app /srv/app/bin/upgrade_from_1.6_to_1.7.sh

Telemeta is now usable on any OS, ready for development and for production in 5 mn! B-)

• Provide a docker image and composition for the full Telemeta application bundle. One month after the publication of docker-compose around march 2015, we had managed to build a prototyped composition which bundled all the dependencies of Telemeta and TimeSide. It took almost one year to deeply investigate all the capabilities of Docker and various images to finally release a propoer composition which bundles all the necessary applications and modules.
• Full refactoring of the search engine and interface using django-haystack and ElasticSearch with new faceting and smart filtering features
• Add an automatic EPUB3 ebook exporter for corpus and collections embedding metadata, image and audio materials.
• More inline forms and functional buttons …

Telemeta and the DIADEMS team participate to the 21st Symposium of the ICTM Study Group on Historical Sources of Traditional Music (ICTM) will take place on 9-13 March 2016 in Paris, France, by invitation of Susanne Fürniss, MNHN. The conference site is the Musée de l’Homme, and the Meeting is hosted by the Musée National d'Histoire Naturelle (MNHN).

Topics

1. Evaluation of historical sound recordings
2. The study of history through oral and written sources on music

Only 1 month after the publication of the docker-compose tools by Docker and after 1 month more of hard development and test by the Parisson team, we are very pleased to launch the docker based distribution of Telemeta which should make it compatible with ANY platform.

To test, use, develop or even deploy your own Telemeta based project, please use our DevBox.

For more infos about our docker images, please check the Parisson registry

NB: we need so more tweaks and tests on OSX, please ping us if you need to try the DevBox on this platform.
