Free provider hub software for linux

mbridge provides a multicast DNS services bridge.

mbridge provides a bridge between LANs for multicast-announced services. As an example, you can use it to share iTunes libraries outside of your LAN with your peers.

It works by querying for and listening to announcements for instances of the desired service using the multicast DNS (mDNS) service discovery protocol.

Upon discovery of a new instance, it announces itself as the provider for that service on all the other LANs.

It then acts as a proxy between the clients and the real server.

How It Works

mbridge queries for and listens to announcements for instances of the desired service using the multicast DNS (mDNS) service discovery protocol.

Upon discovery of a new instance, mbridge announces itself as the provider for that service on all the other LANs. It then acts as a proxy between the clients and the real server.

Open DC hub is a Unix/Linux version of the hub software for the Direct Connect network. Direct Connect is a file sharing network made up by hubs, to which clients can connect.
Once connected to a hub, the user can search for files on the hub or the network, or browse files of other users connected to the hub.
Main features:
- Searching for files
- Connecting to users, both in active and passive mode
- Messaging in open chat
- Private messaging
- Registering users
- Kicking users (for OP:s)
- Banning users (for Admins)
- Uploading hub address and description to public hub list
- Hublinking, which makes it possible to search on other hubs connected to the network
- Administration of the hub from chat
- Scripting (In Perl)
The hub is run as a daemon, i.e, it runs in the background. Its administrated through a tcp connection, for example with telnet, which makes it possible to administer remotely, given that the user has the administration password. Its also possible to administer the hub directly from the chat in Direct Connect.
The software should run on all POSIX compliant operating systems, but the main testing has so far been done on GNU/Linux-x86 and Solaris-Ultrasparc. Please tell me if you fail or succeed in running it on other platforms.

Template::Provider::OpenOffice is a OpenOffice (ODT) Provider for Template Toolkit.

This module extends Template::Provider to automatically extract the content.xml file from an OpenOffice zip file and run it through Template::Toolkit for processing.

We use OpenOffice::OODoc to actually open the document and extract the content.xml file. This gives us the benefit of having the methods available to add/subtract files in addition to parsing and processing the content file if we want to do some custom work in addition to templating.

Beep Media Player RSS feed provider is a tool for generating RSS feeds of songs played by BMP.

bmp-rss-feeder is a plugin for the Beep Media Player that makes it possible to publish an RSS feed containing the names of recently played songs.

The feed can be published both locally and on the Internet.

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a protocol used by many ADSL Internet Service Providers. Roaring Penguin has a free PPPoE client for Linux and Solaris systems to connect to PPPoE service providers.
Dubbed RP-PPPoE, this open-source product is ideal for Linux users with a DSL "modem" whose Internet service provider uses PPPoE. Before you download this software, check whether or not you really need it.
rp-pppoe your ISP uses PPPoE, but has given you a router, you may not need a PPPoE client on your Linux box. DHCP may work fine.
Enhancements:
- The code was refactored to shrink the size of the pppoe-executable.
- The ability to omit debugging code was also added.
- A bug in the MD5 code that caused pppoe-server to segfault on 64-bit architectures was fixed.

myOpenID is a small, fairly lightweight, standalone, single-user Identity Provider for OpenID authentication. The project comprises a single PHP script that can be used by one individual to run their own personal OpenID "IdP."
The program requires no external libraries, and has very minimal requirements. It should run on almost any server that runs PHP 4 or 5. It requires no database, and does not access the file system beyond session handling.
What matters is that OpenID is a promising new technology, but from a user porint of view, its a pain the butt to manage. When I wanted to actually, yknow, get an OpenID thingie of my own, I found there was no satisfactory way to make it happen. My options were to either download a complex set of libraries and build an application to handle serving up my identity, or to set up an account with a third party provider. Since I dont like bulky libraries, and I really dont like the idea of re-centralizing a decentralized framework through trusting someone else with my account credentials... I did what any good Geek would do. I made myself a third option: myOpenID.
Usage:
myOpenID is a single user (though, if you were so inclined, you could easily turn it into a multi-user setup) IdP, or "Identity Provider" for the OpenID framework. Its a single PHP script with minimal dependancies. You dont need a database, you dont need to make your filesystem writable, you dont need to download any libraries, and you dont need to recompile PHP.
Okay, well, you shouldnt need to do any of that. Installation requires an MD5 hashing utility. Why? Because you have to authenticate to it using a password. myOpenID uses HTTP Digest authentication for security, and you set your password must be encrypted when the script is set up. For Linux or OSX, I suggest OpenSSL. For Windows, there are a number of utilities available. I suggest this one by Colin Plumb will do exactly what you need.
Enhancements:
- Added support for PHP4, including a better mechanism for getting Digest authentication headers which should work with non-Apache servers
- Added a (hidden) logout mode, usable by calling myOpenID.php?openid.mode=logout
- Fixed a bug which occurred when associate mode was called and was unable to produce a secure key. Future queries from that handle would then fail check_authentication mode queries
- The lifetime for a smart-mode client is now same as the default cache life of the session minus ten seconds, which should be just under three hours
- Renamed the sha20 function to sha1_20 (to designate using sha1 to get a 20 byte hash)
- Some code and debug cleanup

Tvheadend 2.4 brings users the convenience of a streaming server/relay which supports a variety of sources and multiple output formats.
Tvheadend is initially intended to be used for receiving TV (DVB, Analog, IPTV) and to transmit it using a number of different output formats to subscribers. Together with powerful DVR (Digital Video Recorder) features, an advanced EPG and a web-interface it can be used as a TV distribution hub in your home.
