Free video sharing software software for linux

Volume Sharing Manager (Vsman) is a utility that has been designed for volume (directory) sharing management on the server side. So far, it manages NFS v3 and V4, but can be extended to others volume sharing systems.
You can select a NFS v4 server interface in the preferences dialog box. Otherwise, invoke vsman with the flag -4 in order to display the NFS v4 specific mounting options when needed.
Vsman must be run as root. It displays on the left a tree view of known directories with their possible accesses, i.e. client hosts that can mount directories from the server where vsman is running.
Each directory is displayed with a green, yellow or red spot.
Green if the directory is exported but not mounted.
Yellow when exported and mounted.
Red when unexported.
When you double-click on an access, the left side shows its mounting options.
You can obviously declare a new volume. Vsman just asks you the name of the corresponding directory. You can of course create or delete accesses for the current volume. When you create one, a dialog box appears, that asks you the suitable host name, network
name or address, or netgroup name.
If the host filed is empty, the networks field is then tested, and if empty again, the netgroup is selected.
If you select "NIS" instead of "Files" in the preferences dialog box, the hosts, networks, users and groups will be fetched from the given NIS domain name. For more info about NIS, read the corresponding HOWTO documentation.
Selecting the Reexport menu will reexport all and synchronize vsman with the exported volumes declared in /etc/exports.
Double-click on a mounting host and select Unexport Host in the Action menu, and the current volume will be unexported from the corresponding volume.
Unexport whole volume will do the same thing, but for all the mounting hosts.
The Start / Stop menu will stop or restart the NFS server.
The Save menu will write the NFS /etc/exports file and reexport all volumes.
This tool has been written in Ada 95, using gtkada 2.4 as the toolkit. Dont forget to install gnat 4.1.x or later. Gnat is now a component of the gcc suite.
Enhancements:
- A few important bugs were fixed.
- Hostname lookup was added.
- The compilation and installation process was improved.

Shezhu Resource Sharing System project is an application for scheduling and booking shared resources such as rooms and equipment.
The client only needs a modern Web browser.
It has a user friendly point and click interface, visual filters for making block/repeat bookings, concurrent users and double booking prevention, allows local site customization, and supports configurable academic term/semester blocks.
Main features:
- Portable - client only needs a modern web browser
- Point and Click - almost no typing required
- Intuitive - simple, obvious, consistent and user friendly
- Innovative - visual filters for making block/repeat bookings
- Powerful - concurrent users and double booking prevention
- Configurable - local site customization supported
- Useful - built in support for configurable academic term, semester and session blocks
- Free!
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
