- Bulk upload and modification
- Media conversion
- Move completed files to WideOrbit server
- Read and write Scott Studios wave format
- ffmpeg - Needed for media file manipulation
- openjdk Dev Only - Needed to run a test LDAP server
Application independent code should be stored inside the lib/modules directory. This will help to
keep app code and library code organized and separate. All code inside lib/modules has been added
to the Rails auto-loading system so it is still accessible from the app by just using the proper
namespace.
If controllers start to contain too much code some of that logic inside the controller should be
moved out to a service. The idea behind the service structure is to contain a single class that
performs a single action. This not only helps to reduce bloat in controllers, but also helps
testing efforts because each service does one thing only. For an example of this structure
take a peek at app/services/users/authenticate.rb and
app/controllers/sessions.rb specifically the create action.
Auth is done via LDAP. User accounts are automatically created with properties received from the LDAP
server. To setup a test LDAP server you will need to have the openjdk installed. After that is
installed just run rake ldap:start and an LDAP server will be started on port 3897 which should
be configured in the application's config file. You can then use the user name aa729 and password
smada to login to the application.
Right now the Scot module defines the structures of the Scott Studios format using the Record class
from the BinData gem; once an instance of RiffChunk is fully populated, a Scott Studios WAVE file
can be written using the write(file) method inherited from BinData::Record.
