Requirements
In order to run or build the Shezhu Resource Sharing System you need some third-party software available on your machine.
Client
The client needs a modern web browser and the best browsers for this application are Firefox, Mozilla (including the Netscape branded equivalent and Gecko derivatives such as Galeon) and Microsoft Internet Explorer. The newest versions of all these browsers will work best. This application also works with the Konqueror and Opera browsers but these have some issues which may affect functionality. All browsers need JavaScript enabled. Any of these browsers may not work properly (or at all) depending on the operating system they are running under. Text based browsers (such as Lynx) are not supported.
For a comprehensive list of supported client browsers and operating systems refer to this browser compatibility chart from the most recent release of the application.
Server
The server needs recent versions of the Apache web server and the MySQL database server.
The server has only been tested on Redhat9 and FedoraCore3 Linux/i386 platforms although there is no specific reason why it should not work on other Linux platforms and distributions.
Development
Rebuilding this application from source requires a standard Unix development environment with the sh, make, cc, cpp, sed and awk utilities. Also required are RCS, Perl (5.6+) and the ImageMagick program. Also required is RPM to build a distribution. All these programs would probably come as standard in Linux distributions, other platforms may not have all of them by default.
Enhancements:
- This release adds support for Apache2 and multi-site installations, internal restructuring, a better installation tree, and improved access control management.

PSP Video Converter project is a simple graphical frontend to ffmpeg to allow you to easily convert your videos to PSP compatibile format. Works for me, thought I may share.

Note: Created with Kommander 1.3, not sure if it works with earlier Kommander.

Note: There is no error checking for now, so make sure you have a working ffmpeg with necessary codecs installed.

Note: Looks like some PSPs cant open h264 videos encoded with ffmpeg.

Gaim Video and Voice Support is a friendly fork of the gaim project to concentrate on video and voice support, which will eventually be backported.

MUTE File Sharing is a peer-to-peer network that provides easy search-and-download functionality while also protecting your privacy.
It compiles as a fast, native application for many platforms (no Java, no Python, etc.).
MUTE protects your privacy by avoiding direct connections with your sharing partners in the network. Most other file sharing programs use direct connections to download or upload, making your identity available to spies from the RIAA and other unscrupulous organizations.
MUTE is based on research, and experiments show that it works quite well. MUTEs ant-inspired routing is light-weight, robust, and adaptive. Results from experiments in real MUTE networks show that the collective behavior of MUTE nodes quickly finds the shortest (or fastest) routing path between two nodes on the network.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes bugs in MUTEs initial connection to the network upon startup.
- MUTE has also been upgraded to Crypto++ 5.4, so it should now compile using GCC 4.1.

Video server is a streaming video server which feeds a Java applet/application for display. The updates are rather slow, somewhere in the 10 frames/second range on a PIII. The server is written in Bigloo scheme and C. The client is written in Java.

To bring up the video server you have to do the following.

./vs --channel 25 --sd 12 --input 0

./vs --help
for more options. (This seems broken with the newest version of bigloo .... )

How to bring up a java client to connect to a server:
Insure that video/java is in your classpath, and invoke

java vpanel servername

Video::Info::ASF is a Perl module for ASF files for attributes like:

-video codec
-audio codec
-frame height
-frame width
-frame count
and more!

SYNOPSIS

use Video::Info::ASF;

my $video;

$video = Video::Info::ASF->new(-file=>$filename); #like this

$video->vcodec; #video codec
$video->acodec; #audio codec
...

ASF stands for Advanced Systems Format, in case you were wondering. It used to stand for Active Streaming Format, but Microsoft decided to change it. This type of file is primarily used to store audio & video data for local or streaming playback. It can also be embedded with commands (to launch a web browser, for instance), for an "immersive" experience. ASF is similar in structure to RIFF. (See RIFF::Info). The morbidly curious can find out more below in REFERENCES.
