Intelligent Multimedia Management System is an intelligent playlist framework that tracks your listening patterns and dynamically adapts to your taste. It is incredibly unobtrusive and easy to use as it requires no direct user interaction. Plugins are currently available for XMMS and BMP.
Main features:
- IMMS is easy to install. It is purely a plugin - no XMMS patch required.
- A very lightweight embedded SQL database is used, so theres no need to setup a RDBMS.
- IMMS is easy to use. Song rating is done completely transparently to the user. It does not get in your way.
- IMMS does a much better job of shuffling than most players. It keeps track of when a song was last played, and makes sure same songs are not repeated too often. It is even able to recognise different versions of the same song (eg. remixes) and treat them as one song!
- IMMS uses a variety of techniques to figure out which songs should be played together, and which should not. It studies your listening habits, as well as using acoustic properties of the songs themselves, such as BPM and frequency spectrum.
- IMMS is fair. Even unfavoured songs have a (small) chance of being played.
It should a relatively easy to write IMMS plugins for new players, provided they have a sufficiently robust plugins interface.
You will need things like get_current_song, get_playlist_length, get_playlist_entry, and ideally (but not necessarily) some mechanism for specifying the next song. XMMS/BMP plugins should give you a good idea of what needs to be done.

Kronolith is the Horde calendar application. It provides a stable and featureful individual calendar system for every Horde user, with integrated collaboration/scheduling features. It makes extensive use of the Horde Framework to provide integration with other applications.

Right now, Kronolith implements a solid, stand-alone calendar system, allowing repeating events, all-day events, custom fields, keywords, shared calendars, iCalendar support, generation of free/busy information, and managing multiple users through Horde Authentication.

The calendar API that Kronolith uses is abstracted such that it could work with any backend, but right now we provide SQL (abstracted to support most databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and MSSQL via PEAR DB), MCAL, and Kolab backend libraries.

Oscailt is an independent media center content management system.

Oscailt is an independent media centre content management system developed by the Indymedia Ireland Tech Group, and written using PHP and MySql.

The word "Oscailt" is an Irish word meaning "open" and is pronounced kind of like us-kilt or us-cult or us-culch depending upon your accent.

Oscailt is a Content Management System designed to allow users to publish news and information on a web-site without knowing HTML or having a high degree of technical proficiency. It requires the following software environment:

Web server

The first thing that you need to run Oscailt is access to a webserver. This can either be a home-version on your PC or part of a commercial hosting package, or even your own dedicated server.

Oscailt definitely works with the Apache web server and it has been tested under MS Windows 2000, XP, FreeBSD, Mac OS and GNU/Linux with various versions of Apache 1.x and 2.x. There are no known compatibility issues with any webserver, but others have not been tested.

Apache Modules

Although Oscailt is designed to work on any webserver that runs PHP, our assumption is that it will mostly be deployed on Apache webservers. Therefore it is shipped with a .htaccess file which makes use of the apache mod_rewrite module as well as providing a relatively secure initial configuration. Oscailt uses this module to enable search-engine friendly URLs. If you do not have this module available on your server, Oscailt will work perfectly happily, although the URLs produced wont be as nice.

PHP

Oscailt requires PHP to be available on the webserver. PHP is a Free software programming language and is commonly available as part of commercial web hosting packages. See the php website

Oscailt requires PHP 4.x or PHP 5.x. It has been tested with several variations of PHP 4.3.x and PHP 5.0.x on diverse platforms and there are no known compatibility issues. There are possible issues with PHP 4.4.x There are a small number of incompatibilities with early version of PHP 4.0.x but they are highlighted in the code and should be easy to ammend.

PHP Modules

Several of the Oscailt modules rely on the GD image extension to PHP. The system is still usable without them but you will not be able to use the image tools such as the resizing of images to create thumbnail links, etc.

MySQL

MySQL is a free software database management system that is also commonly available with commercial hosting packages. Oscailt has no known compatibility issues with any version of MySQL on any platform. It has been tested with a number of versions of MySQL 4.x on MS Windows, GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.

Home Installs

For home installs and testing of Oscailt, you can download a PHP/MySQL/Apache bundle for any platform from several sites on the Internet (Google is your friend) and run Oscailt on your home machine. If you are running a distribution of GNU/Linux, its generally best to install the appropriate software using the software packaging system that comes with your distribution e.g. If you are using Red Hat, Mandriva or Suse Linux, its best to install the RPM packages. If you are running a Debian based distribution such as Ubuntu, its best best to install from .deb packages - preferably using apt or a similar tool to solve dependency issues.
