Free video sharing script software for linux

Nodezilla is basically an experimental grid based p2p system available for Windows and Linux (on Intel platforms).
Technically, Nodezilla is a secured, distributed and fault tolerant routing system (aka Grid Network). Its main purpose is to serve as a link for distributed services built on top of it (like chat, efficient video multicasting streaming, File Sharing, secured file store ...).
Nodezilla provides cache features; any server may create a local replica of any data object. These local replicas provide faster access and robustness to network partitions.
They also reduce network congestion by localizing access traffic. It is assumed that any server in the infrastructure may crash, leak information, or become compromised, therefore in order to ensure data protection, redundancy and cryptographic techniques are used.
Main features:
- Anonymous File sharing,
- Hierarchical Multimedia Streaming,
- Digital photo sharing with selected friends.
As this is a quite new and evolved p2p protocol compared to existing products, we welcome any comments on it.
Enhancements:
- Some crashes have been fixed, and there are routing fixes for relayed nodes.
- Performance has been tuned.
- This release uses new features of Vista for services rights restriction and buffer overflow prevention.

TinyURL is a Konversation script that makes a TinyURL (http://tinyurl.com) from a given URL.

Just copy it to /usr/share/apps/konversation/scripts/ (system wide) or to ~/.kde/share/apps/konversation/scripts/ (for just your user).

Video Contact Sheet *NIX or vcs for short, is a script that creates a contact sheet (preview) from videos by taking still captures distributed over the length of the video.

The output image contains useful information on the video such as codecs, file size, screen size, frame rate, and length.

Notes:

Using -i or -n with values that lead to the same number of vidcaps doesnt necessarily yield exactly the same vidcaps, youll have to play with them for best results.

Example: With a video that lasts for 22min 14secs, -n 6 will create the six vidcaps:

3:22, 6:44, 10:04, 13:28, 16:50 and 20:12, while -i 3m will create
3:00, 6:00, 9:00, 12:00, 15:00 and 18:00.

As you can see, -n distributes the vidcaps all over the video while -i N starts at N and goes in increments of it up to the end.

You can set the aspect ratio of the video with -a. It is only required for anamorphic material and discouraged for the rest.

It can take either a floating point number (like 1.33 or 1.778) or a fraction (like 4/3 or 16/9). The latter is slightly preferable.

Cons is a Software Construction System.

Cons is a system for constructing, primarily, software, but is quite different from previous software construction systems. Cons was designed from the ground up to deal easily with the construction of software spread over multiple source directories. Cons makes it easy to create build scripts that are simple, understandable and maintainable. Cons ensures that complex software is easily and accurately reproducible.

Cons uses a number of techniques to accomplish all of this. Construction scripts are just Perl scripts, making them both easy to comprehend and very flexible. Global scoping of variables is replaced with an import/export mechanism for sharing information between scripts, significantly improving the readability and maintainability of each script.

Construction environments are introduced: these are Perl objects that capture the information required for controlling the build process. Multiple environments are used when different semantics are required for generating products in the build tree. Cons implements automatic dependency analysis and uses this to globally sequence the entire build. Variant builds are easily produced from a single source tree. Intelligent build subsetting is possible, when working on localized changes. Overrides can be setup to easily override build instructions without modifying any scripts. MD5 cryptographic signatures are associated with derived files, and are used to accurately determine whether a given file needs to be rebuilt.

While offering all of the above, and more, Cons remains simple and easy to use. This will, hopefully, become clear as you read the remainder of this document.

Why Cons? Why not Make?

Cons is a make replacement. In the following paragraphs, we look at a few of the undesirable characteristics of make--and typical build environments based on make--that motivated the development of Cons.

Build complexity

Traditional make-based systems of any size tend to become quite complex. The original make utility and its derivatives have contributed to this tendency in a number of ways. Make is not good at dealing with systems that are spread over multiple directories. Various work-arounds are used to overcome this difficulty; the usual choice is for make to invoke itself recursively for each sub-directory of a build. This leads to complicated code, in which it is often unclear how a variable is set, or what effect the setting of a variable will have on the build as a whole. The make scripting language has gradually been extended to provide more possibilities, but these have largely served to clutter an already overextended language. Often, builds are done in multiple passes in order to provide appropriate products from one directory to another directory. This represents a further increase in build complexity.

Build reproducibility

The bane of all makes has always been the correct handling of dependencies. Most often, an attempt is made to do a reasonable job of dependencies within a single directory, but no serious attempt is made to do the job between directories. Even when dependencies are working correctly, makes reliance on a simple time stamp comparison to determine whether a file is out of date with respect to its dependents is not, in general, adequate for determining when a file should be rederived. If an external library, for example, is rebuilt and then ``snapped into place, the timestamps on its newly created files may well be earlier than the last local build, since it was built before it became visible.

Variant builds

Make provides only limited facilities for handling variant builds. With the proliferation of hardware platforms and the need for debuggable vs. optimized code, the ability to easily create these variants is essential. More importantly, if variants are created, it is important to either be able to separate the variants or to be able to reproduce the original or variant at will. With make it is very difficult to separate the builds into multiple build directories, separate from the source. And if this technique isnt used, its also virtually impossible to guarantee at any given time which variant is present in the tree, without resorting to a complete rebuild.

Repositories

Make provides only limited support for building software from code that exists in a central repository directory structure. The VPATH feature of GNU make (and some other make implementations) is intended to provide this, but doesnt work as expected: it changes the path of target file to the VPATH name too early in its analysis, and therefore searches for all dependencies in the VPATH directory. To ensure correct development builds, it is important to be able to create a file in a local build directory and have any files in a code repository (a VPATH directory, in make terms) that depend on the local file get rebuilt properly. This isnt possible with VPATH, without coding a lot of complex repository knowledge directly into the makefiles.

AmarokTube is a amarok-youtube integration.

Just a simple script so you can search on youtube for videos of a song, from the amarok playlist. Install the script, run it, and right-click on a song to launch a search. The script calls firefox, so edit it if you want to use a different browser.

Myrinix - Digital Home Edition is meant to be a smart and centralized OS that can be implemented in a home environment.
Myrinix Digital Home Edition can be connected to a TV or other large screen to record and play DVD movies and surf the Internet. It also implements video sharing with the NX technology, and includes the videolan program for broadcasting video or music throughout the network.
Diskless client computers can connect with the server as it performs other tasks. Myrinix - Digital Home Edition is a bootable CD derived from Kanotix.
Enhancements:
- This release fixed a DBUS hang at startup on some computers and detection of USB drives as home at startup.
- An easy USB portable drive installer was added along with a locale changer for quick and easy language changes.
