New possibilities, professional features

Despite or because of Corona: The work to completely revise the HfMT media library has been completed. The university is thus opening up numerous new opportunities both internally for students and teachers and externally for visitors to the website to participate in the HfMT's outstanding productions from the fields of music and theater via the links mediathek.hfmt-hamburg.de or hfmt.art/mediathek.

The videos are either publicly viewable in the media library or accessible as a hidden medium via a direct link.
In the case of protected videos, access to the videos is only possible with a password. Teachers and employees of the HfMT can have their own access and upload videos themselves. As a general rule, the data is encrypted and archived at several locations.

In addition to the video, MP3 audio files and PDF files can also be uploaded. These can then be downloaded as supplementary material to the video. Subtitles can also be assigned to the video. These can then be optionally switched on in the video player.

Technical features

It is possible to collect videos in a "series". These series can be compared to a folder. A video from a series contains an overview of all other videos within this series. You can distribute all videos together with one link.
Quotes from a video can be created on the video page. The generated link then only shows the desired point within the video.
The media library adapts to the display size of the medium used. The videos are also rendered in different qualities, saved and played depending on the connection quality and display size. This means that even cell phones with mobile reception can be viewed comfortably without long loading times.
There is a large text function with many formatting options for describing the video and for further information.
