Free media hive software for linux

Media Pirate allows you to download videos and flash movies from websites.

More and more websites publish their videos in those neat flash players. But if you want to download a video there is no download link. This doesnt mean that you cant download it. Media Pirate creates a download link for you!

Media Pirate helps you to download videos from the following websites:

blip.tv break.com dailymotion.com ifilm.com media.putfile.com metacafe.com myvideo.de video.google.com vids.myspace.com vidilife.com youtube.com zippyvideos.com

To convert the video files to other formats go to:
Media Converter
This is very useful if you dont have a FLV player.

Media Pirate - The video downloader is the service that 100% works!!

Hint: It opens a new tab with the mediapirate.org website where you can find the download link.

media-box is a program to watch all kind of multimedia files using a computer.
It suports playing DVD video, VideoCD, various movie files, Audio CD, various music files and watching various still pictures.
Main goal of this project is to have a dedicated computer in your living room by replacing your Hi-Fi component (DVD-player, CD-player). media-box runs in a linux environment so the need for computer power is very low.
Prefered system is a computer with at least 466MHz Celeron with 128MB of ram. Disk space is minimal, it works on 1GB partition but it can sure fit on a partition of 150MB or even less.
As it considers the sound output it is considered to have a sound card with digital out capabilities, so you can easily connect your computer with a dedicated external Dolby Digital receiver, but this is optional.
Graphics card should have a TV-Out feature, so you can watch your media content on TV. For getting the remote control over the whole program, you should make a hardware receiver or you can even buy one. Just make sure it is lirc compatible.
Software used to make this hardware work:
- debian - linux distribution
- xine-lib - library to play media content
- ati.2 - ATI drivers for XFree86 4.2.1 - to get TVOut working
- alsa - SB Live! drivers to get digital out sound
- lirc - remote control software
Enhancements:
- created upgrade script so on pressing n in main window will start an upgrade
- fixed start.sh script to use the /media-box/XF86Config-4 file
- size of screen is now calculated from the width and height of the back.jpg picture (was fixed to 800x600) - beware tvout works only on 800x600.
- fixed background of movie so it is black now. Subtitles of new xine lib displayed background image.
- added new types of files to play (based on extension)
- audio
- aac
- mp4
