Test Able Player 4.7 upstream

Created on 19 August 2025, 3 months ago

Problem/Motivation

An alpha 4.7 release is out. It has a new theme and quite a slew of improvements.
https://github.com/ableplayer/ableplayer/releases/tag/v4.7.0-beta1

The YouTube Sign Language support may require extending the Drupal module.

Initially, we want to verify 4.7 behaves similarly and then we can create separate tickets if more work is needed.

    So far, this appears to work quite well. The translation files all were converted from .js to .json. If you are doing anything custom with those, be aware that in the eventual move to 4.7 support those files are changed in the update. Beyond that, the typical ableplay js and CSS seem to be the only other files we will need to update.

    I am still researching the feature, Add support for synchronized sign language sourced from YouTube. While we support AD in a separate video via a separate field this new feature may be part of YouTube itself.

    Able Player now supports sign language video sources from both local and remote video.

    A new field needs to be added to the remote video install to allow a user to link their sign language video to a YouTube video. Additionally, local video can now also utilize a remote YouTube source, so the local video field may need to either support both local/remote or one more sign language field could be added for local video to reference a remote video on YouTube.

    The result should be similar to this example, https://ableplayer.github.io/ableplayer/demos/youtube6.html.
