• Piwik now integrated within CloudFlare

  8 novembre 2017, par Piwik Core Team — Development

  Would you like to know some quick fix in order to make your website load faster ? Would you like your users to have a better experience on your website ? One answer to that is what we call a CDN. Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a system of distributed servers that deliver content to a user based on various criterias such as geolocation.

  And the good news for you is that Piwik got recently integrated to a popular CDN : CloudFlare.

  What is CloudFlare ?

  As previously said, CloudFlare is a content delivery network (CDN).

  

  The three major advantages of using CloudFlare as a CDN are :

  • it is making your website load faster by providing a nearby location to your files to users
  • it also help detecting potential attacks like DDoS and takes away these risks for you
  • it runs one of the largest, fastest, and most reliable managed DNS service in the world

  Automatically add Piwik tracking code to your website

  With the integration of Piwik to CloudFlare, you can now deploy the Piwik tracking code directly through your CloudFlare account instead of tweaking the source code of your website.

  In order to do that, all you need is to log in to your CloudFlare account and click on “Apps”. Then look for Piwik within the search bar :

  

  Once done, click on “Preview” on your site to enter your credentials (Piwik URL and website ID) :

  

  Click “install” to finish the setup. The Piwik tracking code is now installed on each page of your website.

  If you have previously added the tracking code manually to your website and now use the Piwik app, don’t forget to remove the tracking code from your website. Otherwise you end up tracking every user twice.

  Important note : the Piwik CloudFlare integration only concerns the Piwik tracking code integration. For the Piwik app on Cloudflare to work you will need to have a running Piwik installed on your server, or you can start a free trial on the Piwik Analytics Cloud.

• Curator of the Samples Archive

  13 mai 2011, par Multimedia Mike — General

  Remember how I mirrored the world-famous MPlayerHQ samples archive a few months ago ? Due to a series of events, the original archive is no longer online. However, me and the people who control the mplayerhq.hu domain figured out how to make samples.mplayerhq.hu point to samples.multimedia.cx.

  That means... I’m the current owner and curator of our central multimedia samples repository. Such power ! This should probably be the fulfillment of a decade-long dream for me, having managed swaths of the archive, most notably the game formats section.

  How This Came To Be

  If you pay any attention to the open source multimedia scene, you might have noticed that there has been a smidge of turmoil. Heated words were exchanged, authority was questioned, some people probably said some things they didn’t mean, and the upshot is that, where once there was one project (FFmpeg), there are now 2 projects (also Libav). And to everyone who has wanted me to mention it on my blog— there, I finally broke my silence and formally acknowledged the schism.

  For my part, I was just determined to ensure that the samples archive remained online, preferably at the original samples.mplayerhq.hu address. There are 10 years worth of web links out there pointing into the original repository.

  Better Solution

  I concede that it’s not entirely optimal to host the repository here at multimedia.cx. While I can offer a crazy amount of monthly bandwidth, I can’t offer rsync (invaluable for keeping mirrors in sync), nor can the server provide anonymous FTP or allow me to offer accounts to other admins who can manage the repository.

  The samples archive is also mirrored at samples.libav.org/samples. I understand that service is provided by VideoLAN. Right now, both repositories are known to be static. I’m open to brainstorms about how to improve the situation.

• Issue with yt-dlp and FFMPEG Converting Webm to MP4 for 360 video : Unsupported channel layout "ambisonic 1"

  22 janvier 2024, par William L W L

  I am trying to convert .webm files to mp4. These are 360 videos that have been downloaded using yt-dlp.

  


  I have been using this command successfully, but it does not work on an M2 macbook pro. It works fine on PC.

  


  ffmpeg -y -i "/Users/x/Movies/Tropical_Rainforest_360.webm" -c:v libx265 -preset fast -crf 21 -vf "scale=4096x4096:out_range=full" -pix_fmt yuvj420p -aspect 1:1 -movflags faststart "/Users/x/Movies/Tropical_Rainforest_360.mp4"


  


  The error messages are as follows :

  Context : I work in an educational setting which caters for vulnearble pupils. We cannot use Youtube in real time, this is mainly due to adverts or suggested videos that may trigger our pupils. Some children have mental health issues. Some children have also not been outdoors for several months/years due to medical conditions. We use 360 videos and VR to help bring the outside world inside, The YoutubeVR app is not an option since there is no way to install adblockers.

  


  The same script above works fine on a PC virtual machine which I can remote into from my Mac.
