@mavetju where they always are -- on the talk's page, e.g. https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/SFKNTZ-welcome_to_fosdem_2026/
@wouter am I right in thinking that status "waiting" can mean you are waiting for ACK from speaker?
There are two states, the 'state' and the 'progress'.
The state defines what needs to happen to the talk: transcoding, uploading, generating previews, etc.
The progress defines what is happening within the state. 'waiting' means it is waiting for a dispatcher to pick it up, 'scheduled' means it was dispatched but is waiting for the script to start running, 'running' and 'done' are self-explanatory.
That said, there are also a few states where no job needs to be dispatched and things happen out of band. In the 'preview' state, progress will stay at 'waiting' until a human reviews the video; in the 'publishing' state, progress remains at 'waiting' until the video is visible on at least one of our mirrors.
There is no 'waiting' state, but hopefully this answers your question 😉
@wouter actually my question is "why isn't the video I'm waiting for available for download?!!", but I'll try to use your formulae to answer it. :-)
If you have a title of the talk in question, I might be able to give you actual information on it 😉
@wouter I wouldn’t want to bother you with that, and will patiently wait until the “pyinfra” talk shows up. :)
You realise that you not telling me half the story gets me more bothered than anything, right? 😉
Anyway, that talk was indeed waiting for the speaker or devroom organiser to look at it. But here's my present to you. The talk is now transcoding and will be viewable some time tomorrow.
Kind of weird that the person who taught me about Ansible as 'infrastructure without writing any line of code' is now interested in that talk though, but you do you 😉

@wouter I appreciate your present to me, Wouter, and thanks for the kind words.
Rest assured, after watching a few minutes of the talk, basically just a rant against Ansible, I am not going to switch.
While pyinfra appears to has a few neat hacky-type things I discovered while playing with it for an hour a few days ago, never ever will the program be adopted by $enterprises anywhere.
I am confident that with Ansible we remain on the correct track. 😊
