• Switch to Matomo for WordPress from Google Analytics

  10 mars 2020, par Joselyn Khor — Plugins, Privacy
  While Google Analytics may seem like a great plugin option on the WordPress directory, we’d like to present a new ethical alternative called Matomo for WordPress, which gives you 100% data ownership and privacy protection.

  Firstly what does Google Analytics offer in WordPress ?

  When you think of getting insights about visitors on your WordPress (WP) sites, the first thing that comes to mind might be Google Analytics. Why not right ? Especially when there are good free Google Analytics plugins, like Monster Insights and Site Kit. 

  These give you access to a great analytics platform, but the downside with Google Analytics is the lack of transparency around privacy and data ownership.

  

  Matomo Analytics for WordPress is an ethical alternative to Google Analytics for WordPress

  If you’re more interested in a privacy-respecting, GDPR compliant alternative, there’s now a new option on the WP plugins directory : Matomo Analytics – Ethical Stats. Powerful Insights. 

  It’s free and can be considered the #1 ethical alternative to Google Analytics in terms of features and capabilities. Why is it important to choose a web analytics platform that respects privacy ?

  

  Risk facing fines for non-GDPR compliance and privacy/data breaches

  In Europe there’s an overarching privacy law called GDPR which provides better privacy protection for EU citizens on the web. 

  Websites need to be GDPR compliant and follow rules governing how personal data is used or risk facing fines up to 4% of their yearly revenue for data/privacy breaches or non-compliance. Even if your website is based outside of Europe. If you have visitors from Europe, you can still be liable.

  

  In the US, there isn’t one main privacy law, there hundreds on both the federal and state levels to protect the personal data (or personally identifiable information) of US residents – like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). There are also industry-specific statutes related to data privacy like HIPAA.

  To protect your website from coming under fire for privacy breaches, best practise is to find platforms that are privacy and GDPR compliant by design. 

  When you own your own data – as with the case of Matomo – you have control over where data is stored, what you’re doing with it, and can better protect the privacy of your visitors.

  At this point you may be asking, “what’s the point of an analytics platform if you have to follow all these rules ?”

  The importance of analytics for your WordPress site

  • Figuring out how your audience behaves to increase conversions
  • Setting, tracking and measuring conversion goals
  • Being able to find insights to improve and optimize your site 
  • Making smarter, data-driven decisions so your company can thrive, rather than risk being left behind

  Analytics is used to answer questions like :

  • Where are your website visitors coming from (location) ?
  • How many people visit your website ?
  • Which are the most popular pages on your site ?
  • What sources of traffic are coming to your site (social, marketing campaigns, search) ?
  • Is your marketing campaign performing better this month compared to last ?

  Matomo can answer all of the above questions. BONUS : On top of that, with Matomo you get the peace of mind knowing you’re the only one who has access to those answers.

• ffmpeg not returning duration, cant play video until complete. Stream images 2 video via PHP

  17 février 2014, par John J

  I am real struggling with ffmpeg. I am trying to convert images to video, I have an ip camera which I am recording from. The recordings are mjpegs 1 frame per image.

  I am trying to create a script in php so I can recreate a video from date to date, this requires inputting the images via image2pipe and then creating the video.

  The trouble is, ffmpeg does return the duration and start stats, so I have no way of working out when the video is done or what percentage is done. The video won't play until its finished, and its not a very good UE.

  Any ideas of how I can resolve this, the video format can be anything I am open to suggestions.

  PHP :

  //Shell command
  
  exec('cat /image/dir/*.jpg | ffmpeg -y -c:v mjpeg -f image2pipe -r 10 -i - -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -movflags +faststart myvids/vidname.mp4 1>vidname.txt 2>&1')
  
  
  
  //This is loaded via javascript when the video is loaded (which is failing due to stats being wrong
  
  $video_play = "<video width="\&quot;320\&quot;" height="\&quot;240\&quot;" src="\&quot;myvids/vidname.mp4\&quot;" type="\&quot;video/mp4\&quot;\" controls="\&quot;controls\&quot;" preload="\&quot;none\&quot;"></video>";

  Javascript :

  //Javascript to create the loop until video is loaded
  
  <code class="echappe-js">&lt;script&gt;<br />
  
             $(document).ready(function() {<br />
  
                  var loader = $(&quot;#clip_load&quot;).percentageLoader();<br />
  
                  $.ajaxSetup({ cache: false }); // This part addresses an IE bug. without it, IE will only load the first number and will never refresh<br />
  
                  var interval = setInterval(updateProgress,1000);<br />
  
                  function updateProgress(){ $.get( &quot;&amp;#39;.base_url().&amp;#39;video/getVideoCompile_Process?l=&amp;#39;.$vid_name.&amp;#39;-output.txt&amp;amp;t=per&quot;, function( data ) { if(data=&gt;\&amp;#39;100\&amp;#39;){ $(&quot;#clip_load&quot;).html(\&amp;#39;&amp;#39;.$video_play.&amp;#39;\&amp;#39;); clearInterval(interval); }else{loader.setProgress(data); } });                    }<br />
  
              });<br />
  
              &lt;/script&gt;
  
  

  PHP (page is called via javascript :

  //This is the script which returns the current percentage
  
  $logloc = $this->input->get('l');
  
  $content = @file_get_contents($logloc);
  
  
  
  if($content){
  
      //get duration of source
  
      preg_match("/Duration: (.*?), start:/", $content, $matches);
  
  
  
      $rawDuration = $matches[1];
  
  
  
      //rawDuration is in 00:00:00.00 format. This converts it to seconds.
  
      $ar = array_reverse(explode(":", $rawDuration));
  
      $duration = floatval($ar[0]);
  
      if (!empty($ar[1])) $duration += intval($ar[1]) * 60;
  
      if (!empty($ar[2])) $duration += intval($ar[2]) * 60 * 60;
  
  
  
      //get the time in the file that is already encoded
  
      preg_match_all("/time=(.*?) bitrate/", $content, $matches);
  
  
  
      $rawTime = array_pop($matches);
  
  
  
      //this is needed if there is more than one match
  
      if (is_array($rawTime)){$rawTime = array_pop($rawTime);}
  
  
  
      //rawTime is in 00:00:00.00 format. This converts it to seconds.
  
      $ar = array_reverse(explode(":", $rawTime));
  
      $time = floatval($ar[0]);
  
      if (!empty($ar[1])) $time += intval($ar[1]) * 60;
  
      if (!empty($ar[2])) $time += intval($ar[2]) * 60 * 60;
  
  
  
      //calculate the progress
  
      $progress = round(($time/$duration) * 100);
  
      if ($this->input->get('t')=='per'){
  
          echo $progress;
  
      }else{
  
              echo "Duration: " . $duration . "<br />";
  
              echo "Current Time: " . $time . "<br />";
  
      echo "Progress: " . $progress . "%";}
  
  }else{ echo "cannot locate";}

• Using ffmpeg with Imagick

  19 mars 2014, par user3240613

  I am trying to generate thumbnails from videos in imagick, by extracting a single frame from them, using the ffmpeg application.

  I use this code currently :

  $image->newPseudoImage( null, null, 'ffmpeg:video.mp4[50]');

  It works. But it is not an ideal solution.
  I want to generate the thumbnail from a 50% position in the video, but i do not know how long the video is, so I can't do something like ffmpeg:video.mp4[500001]. And even if I knew the length, I still couldn't do it because running this ffmpeg:video.mp4[1000] takes almost 20 seconds to execute (ffmpeg:video.mp4[50] takes one or two seconds only).

  When i try to add some extra parameters like "ffmpeg:video.mp4[50] -ss 50" it returns error.

  The only other option I can think of, is using the exec to directly execute the ffmpeg command in the shell like "ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vframes 1 -o screenshot.jpg" or something like that. Would that actually be more efficient solution than using the newpseudoimage method ?
