merge metadata from multiple streams

[codersquid]

I'm not sure how to have this feature. I'd like to be able to merge data from multiple streams in to the json I'll be pushing to pyvideo.

For example, I can run steve-cmd to scrape a youtube channel, and I can also get information from a conference app like symposion which gives me the descriptions that someone uploading to youtube may not have provided.

I don't have a suggestion for the best way to do this. I think perhaps a diff/merge thing on the steve web interface could be cool?

For scipy2014 I've just been adding the description info by editing the symposion json in a vsplit vim session with the scrapped youtube json.

This is definitely better done with a steve library-using script.

• http://steve.readthedocs.org/en/latest/library.html#update-language

That last one could be pulling from whatever source you like.

I think supporting that method will be a lot easier, more flexible and less maintenance in the long run than figuring out a comprehensive diff/merge thing between arbitrary data sources.
