Hwc Media Content

Handle media-heavy Hotwire features: image/video/audio uploads, previews, playback controls, progress tracking, and third-party media integrations (for example WaveSurfer, Swiper, Picture-in-Picture, Blurhash). Prefer this skill when the core problem is media rendering, playback state, or media library integration. Use hwc-realtime-streaming for server-pushed Turbo Stream updates, hwc-navigation-content for non-media pagination/tab/lazy-navigation flows, hwc-forms-validation for form validation and inline-edit behavior, hwc-ux-feedback for generic loading/transition patterns, and hwc-stimulus-fundamentals for Stimulus primitives not specific to media.

Media & Rich Content

Implement media-centric Hotwire features with Stimulus and Turbo Frames.

Core Workflow

Identify media mode: upload/preview, playback controls, progress persistence, or embedded library integration.
Keep media state in Stimulus values; bridge third-party APIs through value callbacks and targets.
Use browser-native APIs first (URL.createObjectURL, Picture-in-Picture, IntersectionObserver, MediaSession).
Clean up all allocated resources in disconnect() (observers, blob URLs, player instances, timers).
Persist only intentional client state (for example playback progress) and reconcile on load.

Guardrails

Revoke blob URLs after image/file preview rendering.
Prefer feature detection for browser APIs (PiP/Web Share/MediaSession).
Avoid mixing transport concerns; media rendering belongs here, stream orchestration belongs in real-time skill.
Keep frame updates incremental for time-based UI (lyrics, carousels, progress widgets).
