Free video shared memory software for linux

Shared Mime Library is my implementation for libsharedmime. It reads the Shared Mime Info database and returns you the MIME-TYPE of a file. Freedesktop make this database freely available, but they dont seem to be distributing a library to read it anymore (Its no where in their CVS that I can find).
It is different to the freedesktop version in the following ways:
- Licensed under LGPL instead of the GPL at aid all developers. *sigh*
- Has NO dependencies. Which is an important feature in this world of tangled packages all depending on each other.
- Probably not as fast?
- Not as complete (yet)?
To install the package firstly you need the Shared Mime data files. Which you can get from here. Then download and unpack libsharedmime and:
% make
# make install
Enhancements:
- Added code to check for a text file if the content lookup fails, if it matches it gets a text/plain type.
- Stopped the content lookup being performed on directories.
- Fixed a bug in the magic matching code that caused valid matches to fail. This means that some files will now return the correct mime type as opposed to a default "not found" type.

retroshare provides a private P2P file sharing software.
Retroshare is a cross-platform private P2P sharing program. It lets you share securely to your friends, using a web-of-trust to authenticate peers and OpenSSL to encrypt all communication. RetroShare provides filesharing, chat, messages, and channels.
Main features:
- A Private Peer to Peer Network which allows you to share information with only the people you want to.
- Reliable Identification and Authentication of your friends.
- Plus an Introduction Scheme which connects you to the friends of your friends, and facilitates network growth.
- Encrypted Communication, ensuring all shared information is known only to you and your peers.
- A Communication Platform which can potentially support services such as Secure Email, File Sharing, Video or Voice over IP and Messaging
- A Decentralised Social Sharing Network designed **For the People**
- with no dependancies on any corporate system or central servers.
Enhancements:
- First release with Web of Trust Authentication!
- Downloads are automatically resumed
- New Directory search interface.

IPC::SharedCache is a Perl module to manage a cache in SysV IPC shared memory.

SYNOPSIS

use IPC::SharedCache;

# the cache is accessed using a tied hash.
tie %cache, IPC::SharedCache, ipc_key => AKEY,
load_callback => &load,
validate_callback => &validate;

# get an item from the cache
$config_file = $cache{/some/path/to/some.config};

This module provides a shared memory cache accessed as a tied hash.
Shared memory is an area of memory that is available to all processes. It is accessed by choosing a key, the ipc_key arguement to tie. Every process that accesses shared memory with the same key gets access to the same region of memory. In some ways it resembles a file system, but it is not hierarchical and it is resident in memory. This makes it harder to use than a filesystem but much faster. The data in shared memory persists until the machine is rebooted or it is explicitely deleted.

This module attempts to make shared memory easy to use for one specific application - a shared memory cache. For other uses of shared memory see the documentation to the excelent module I use, IPC::ShareLite (IPC::ShareLite).
A cache is a place where processes can store the results of their computations for use at a later time, possibly by other instances of the application. A good example of the use of a cache is a web server.

When a web server receieves a request for an html page it goes to the file system to read it. This is pretty slow, so the web server will probably save the file in memory and use the in memory copy the next time a request for that file comes in, as long as the file hasnt changed on disk.

This certainly speeds things up but web servers have to serve multiple clients at once, and that means multiple copies of the in-memory data. If the web server uses a shared memory cache, like the one this module provides, then all the servers can use the same cache and much less memory is consumed.

This module handles all shared memory interaction using the IPC::ShareLite module (version 0.06 and higher) and all data serialization using Storable. See IPC::ShareLite and Storable for details.

The Linux Memory Game project is a childrens (and adults) game based on the card game.
The Linux Memory Game is an X11 game using GTK+ library for children ages 3 and up. It is a lot more than the card game "Memory".
It has five skill levels, the higher ones are challenging to adults as well. Additionally, one can choose from the menu to match 2 cards or 3 cards, or match different cards.
This last "different card" mode can be a very good teaching tool for teaching languages, concepts, or association.
Main features:
- Extensible - add new images yourself without having to make changes to the program.
- Five skill levels appropriate for the youngest and the ones with the best brains.
- Can play two card matching or three card matching (more challenging!)
- Can set to match different cards. This can be used with apropriately designed pictures to teach children (or adults) words, concepts, or another language.
Enhancements:
- Fixed overflow bug in pixmaps_jump.

I like using Amarok for managing my podcasts but I wasnt able to play my video podcasts.

Amarok Video Player adds a PlayVideo/Play menu item to the context menu which runs KMPlayer.

Edit the script to change KMplayer to another video player.

Many users prefer Gnome Window Manager but cant go without Amarok. Gnome Play Video in Totem allows Gnome Users to view video or audio externally in Totem.

This is very useful for Video Podcasts.
