• HTTP Live streaming iOS not refreshing the index .m3u8 file

  27 février 2013, par Emerson Fittipaldi

  I searched all similar questions on StackOverflow, but found none to answer my problem.

  I am trying to stream some movies from my Linux computer (openSuSE 12.1) to my iPad. I convert them with ffmpeg, segment them with my own segmenter, place them in the www folder of my apache2 server and also place inside the .m3u8 playlist. Til here - all is ok !

  I start playing the movie (HTML page with tag) and it plays nicely, but only the first five segments, which have been loaded with the first load of the playlist. The HTML page (the browser, or the player - no idea) does not refresh (re-download) the playlist from the server. Here is what my .m3u8 playlist file looks like :

  #EXTM3U
  
  #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:19
  
  #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:8
  
  
  
  #EXTINF:8,
  
  http://192.168.1.4/segment_19.ts
  
  #EXTINF:8,
  
  http://192.168.1.4/segment_20.ts
  
  #EXTINF:8,
  
  http://192.168.1.4/segment_21.ts
  
  #EXTINF:8,
  
  http://192.168.1.4/segment_22.ts
  
  #EXTINF:8,
  
  http://192.168.1.4/segment_23.ts

  Segments are in the same folder as the playlist file, segments are correctly encoded (because I can see at least the first five ones :D). I also watch the access_log from the apache server and I see the first load of the playlist, then the consequent load of all 5 segments and it stops till there. It doesn't even try to further refresh the m3u8 file.

  If it matters - iOS 5.0, iPad 2, Wi-Fi version only, not jailbroken

  Ideas ? What am I doing wrong ?

• Piwik is now Matomo – Announcement

  
  9 janvier 2018, par Matomo Core Team

  You may be surprised to read this announcement, but no stress, take a deep breath, nothing big is going to happen, it is just our name that is changing and here are the reasons why.

  

  Why are we changing from Piwik to Matomo ?

  “After an epic 10 year journey creating and perfecting the best open digital analytics solution, we felt it was a good time to refresh our brand to reflect how far we have come and to reaffirm our vision :
  To create, as a community, the leading international open source digital analytics platform, that gives every user full control of their data.”

  Matthieu Aubry, creator of Piwik

  As projects evolve, so do names. After 10 years of Piwik and the amazing achievement of building the top open source analytics software that gives every user full control of their data, we are now looking forward to the next chapter. Thus, Piwik, the community project, will now become Matomo. The only change is our name, everything else stays the same.

  This will allow users to take a fresh look at what we’ve become today and acknowledging all of the community’s hard work over the past 10 years. In addition, we also want our name to be unique, ensuring that it is not shared with any other company to remove any possible confusion or affiliations. Piwik is already used on over 1 million websites and with Matomo, we hope to reach our maximum potential.

  With the strong focus on privacy worldwide and the upcoming privacy regulations about to be legislated in Europe, it is clear that we were on the right mission from the very beginning. With the upcoming big release Matomo 4.0 planned for this year, new privacy protections will bring users the tools to be compliant with the GDPR privacy laws. And Matomo will grow in line with these regulations, with a very clear and focused vision.

  Changing our name is an exciting opportunity for us, and we hope you love the name Matomo as much as we do.

  Matomo FAQs

  So what is going to change for me ?

  Well, basically nothing, the name will change but the values stay the same : Matomo (Piwik) will continue to be free and always will be.

  Also the same people stay behind the project. We are motivated more than ever to take this project to the next level.

  Why not keep the name Piwik ?

  For a few reasons, one of which is to ensure that Matomo does not/will not share its name with any other businesses unlike Piwik. We also want to protect the Matomo brand and for it to remain the open source community project name forever.

  Where does the name Matomo come from ?

  We loved the name Piwik and were looking for something that sounded just as good ! Initially we wanted to have an acronym based on key terms, such as Free, Open Source and Privacy, but none really fit us perfectly.

  Until we found Matomo ! Easily pronounced in all languages. Short enough to remember. Concise. And best of all… Matomo means honesty in Japanese. Which aligns with one of our key values – transparency.

  We love the name Matomo and hope you do too.

  What is the vision of Matomo ?

  

  We have come a long way in those 10 years ! However, our mission statement remains the same :

  “To create, as a community, the leading international open source digital analytics platform, that gives every user full control of their data.”

  Matomo provides a range of amazing and innovative features, allowing you to get a 360 view of your visitors. These insights are invaluable to help understand behavior, keep track of goals, and increase conversion rates and revenue.

  Who will deliver Matomo professional services ?

  Any company who wishes to. The only exception is that no companies will be allowed to have the name Matomo.

  Our company providing professional services is and will remain InnoCraft.

  Where can I follow the Matomo project ?

  Our new website will be matomo.org (automatically redirected from Piwik.org)

  Follow our new Twitter : twitter.com/matomo_org

  Github : github.com/matomo-org

  Facebook : facebook.com/Matomo.org

  Linkedin : linkedin.com/company/matomo/

  If you are already following us on social media, you will be kept up to date with Matomo automatically as all social media accounts will be redirected.

  How should I pronounce Matomo ?

  If you’re wondering how to say ‘Matomo’, you can find out by clicking play :

  Where can I see a demo of Matomo ?

  On demo.matomo.org

  Where can I download Matomo first release ?

  On matomo.org/download

  (Matomo 3.3.0 will be released in the next few days)

  What is the new logo ?

  Check it out below.

  

  Matomo trademark Policy

  Matomo is an internationally registered trademark of Matthieu Aubry, Founder of Piwik (now Matomo).

  Information about how to use the name Matomo (and logo) can be found here : matomo.org/trademark/

  What are the next big steps ?

  We will keep it simple for our valued users. As it is just a name change, the only thing you will notice is that the Piwik brand will gradually be replaced on the websites you are used to seeing the name on. The first version of Matomo will be available in just a few days for download. The software version numbers stay the same : the next release after Piwik 3.2.1 will be Matomo 3.3.0.

  All our public HTTP APIs and Tracking SDKs will continue working normally. As you can imagine, there is a lot of work and complexity behind slowly updating all the SDKs and keeping backwards compatibility, so our renaming project will take a few weeks to complete.

  The Matomo trademark will later be transferred into the Matomo foundation, a non-profit that will be dedicated to promoting and ensuring access to Matomo and our related open source projects in perpetuity.

• How to create a scheduled task – Introducing the Piwik Platform

  28 août 2014, par Thomas Steur — Development

  This is the next post of our blog series where we introduce the capabilities of the Piwik platform (our previous post was How to create a custom theme in Piwik). This time you’ll learn how to execute scheduled tasks in the background, for instance sending a daily email. For this tutorial you will need to have basic knowledge of PHP.

  What can you do with scheduled tasks ?

  Scheduled tasks let you execute tasks regularly (hourly, weekly, …). For instance you can :

  • create and send custom reports or summaries
  • sync users and websites with other systems
  • clear any caches
  • import third-party data into Piwik
  • monitor your Piwik instance
  • execute any other task you can think of

  Getting started

  In this series of posts, we assume that you have already set up your development environment. If not, visit the Piwik Developer Zone where you’ll find the tutorial Setting up Piwik.

  To summarize the things you have to do to get setup :

  • Install Piwik (for instance via git).
  • Activate the developer mode : ./console development:enable --full.
  • Generate a plugin : ./console generate:plugin --name="MyTasksPlugin". There should now be a folder plugins/MyTasksPlugin.
  • And activate the created plugin under Settings => Plugins.

  Let’s start creating a scheduled task

  We start by using the Piwik Console to create a tasks template :

  ./console generate:scheduledtask

  The command will ask you to enter the name of the plugin the task should belong to. I will simply use the above generated plugin name “MyTasksPlugin”. There should now be a file plugins/MyTasksPlugin/Tasks.php which contains some examples to get you started easily :

  class Tasks extends \Piwik\Plugin\Tasks
  
  {
  
      public function schedule()
  
      {
  
          $this->hourly('myTask');  // method will be executed once every hour
  
          $this->daily('myTask');   // method will be executed once every day
  
          $this->weekly('myTask');  // method will be executed once every week
  
          $this->monthly('myTask'); // method will be executed once every month
  
  
  
          // pass a parameter to the task
  
          $this->weekly('myTaskWithParam', 'anystring');
  
  
  
          // specify a different priority
  
          $this->monthly('myTask', null, self::LOWEST_PRIORITY);
  
          $this->monthly('myTaskWithParam', 'anystring', self::HIGH_PRIORITY);
  
      }
  
  
  
      public function myTask()
  
      {
  
          // do something
  
      }
  
  
  
      public function myTaskWithParam($param)
  
      {
  
          // do something
  
      }
  
  }

  A simple example

  As you can see in the generated template you can execute tasks hourly, daily, weekly and monthly by registering a method which represents the actual task :

  public function schedule()
  
  {
  
      // register method remindMeToLogIn to be executed once every day
  
      $this->daily('remindMeToLogIn');  
  
  }
  
  
  
  public function remindMeToLogIn()
  
  {
  
      $mail = new \Piwik\Mail();
  
      $mail->addTo('me@example.com');
  
      $mail->setSubject('Check stats');
  
      $mail->setBodyText('Log into your Piwik instance and check your stats!');
  
      $mail->send();
  
  }

  This example sends you an email once a day to remind you to log into your Piwik daily. The Piwik platform makes sure to execute the method remindMeToLogIn exactly once every day.

  How to pass a parameter to a task

  Sometimes you want to pass a parameter to a task method. This is useful if you want to register for instance one task for each user or for each website. You can achieve this by specifying a second parameter when registering the method to execute.

  public function schedule()
  
  {
  
      foreach (\Piwik\Site::getSites() as $site) {
  
          // create one task for each site and pass the URL of each site to the task
  
          $this->hourly('pingSite', $site['main_url']); 
  
      }
  
  }
  
  
  
  public function pingSite($siteMainUrl)
  
  {
  
      file_get_contents($siteMainUrl);
  
  }

  How to test scheduled tasks

  After you have created your task you are surely wondering how to test it. First, you should write a unit or integration test which we will cover in one of our future blog posts. Just one hint : You can use the command ./console generate:test to create a test. To manually execute all scheduled tasks you can execute the API method CoreAdminHome.runScheduledTasks by opening the following URL in your browser :

  http://piwik.example.com/index.php?module=API&method=CoreAdminHome.runScheduledTasks&token_auth=YOUR_API_TOKEN

  Don’t forget to replace the domain and the token_auth URL parameter.

  There is one problem with executing the scheduled tasks : The platform makes sure they will be executed only once an hour, a day, etc. This means you can’t simply reload the URL and test the method again and again as you would have to wait for the next hour or day. The proper solution is to set the constant DEBUG_FORCE_SCHEDULED_TASKS to true within the file Core/TaskScheduler.php. Don’t forget to set it back to false again once you have finished testing it.

  Starting from Piwik 2.6.0 you can alternatively execute the following command :

  ./console core:run-scheduled-tasks --force --token-auth=YOUR_TOKEN_AUTH

  The option “–force” will make sure to execute even tasks that are not due to run at this time. So you won’t have to modify any files.

  Which tasks are registered and when is the next execution time of my task ?

  The TasksTimetable plugin from the Marketplace can answer this question for you. Simply install and activate the plugin with one click by going to Settings => Marketplace => Get new functionality. It’ll add a new admin menu item under Settings named Scheduled Tasks.

  Publishing your Plugin on the Marketplace

  In case you want to share your task(s) with other Piwik users you can do this by pushing your plugin to a public GitHub repository and creating a tag. Easy as that. Read more about how to distribute a plugin.

  Advanced features

  Isn’t it easy to create scheduled tasks ? We never even created a file ! Of course, based on our API design principle “The complexity of our API should never exceed the complexity of your use case.” you can accomplish more if you want. For instance, you can define priorities, you can directly register methods from different objects and classes, you can specify at which time of a day a task should run and more.
