  16 février 2016, par Piwik Core Team — Uncategorized

  Are you ready for a new challenge ? Or maybe you know someone who is looking for a change ? We have some exciting problems to solve and are looking for senior developers to work with us and our community on our open source Piwik Analytics platform. Piwik is used by more than one million websites all over the world. It is deployed on more than 300.000 servers and some users track more than 1 billion actions per month.

  What is it like to work on Piwik ?

  We develop this software using modern PHP, MySQL, Redis, AngularJS and more. We provide several kind of APIs and a plugin architecture to allow developers to extend and change Piwik to their needs. However, we would not be Piwik if we stopped at this point ! We want to turn Piwik into an even more awesome product and platform.
  You can imagine there is a lot to do and many challenges to face !

  While one part is to always make Piwik scale better and to improve UI and UX, we also want to provide simple APIs to make the life of developers as pleasant as possible. We aim to solve things the right way and our thousands of unit, integration, system, JavaScript and screenshot tests help us to innovate and to not be afraid of change. We like clean code and constant improvements.

  The Piwik team lives in New Zealand and Europe (Germany). We do the vast majority of our collaboration online. Our values include being open, transparent and sharing knowledge. For this we use tools like GitHub and Slack to communicate and Quake servers to take our minds off complex challenges. We are a small, flexible team, so when you come aboard, you will play an integral part in engineering and have a big impact on the product loved by so many people. You’ll help to create a welcoming environment for new contributors and set an example with your development practices and communications skills.

  Apply now, or spread the word !

  If you have strong skills in PHP send us an email with your CV and tell us a little about yourself and your experience in engineering complex applications.

• PHP and ffmpeg - Converting to H.264 on the fly for JW Player

  10 mai 2012, par vertigoelectric

  So the project I'm working on has tons of MP4 files already on the server that need to be played in an embedded player. Ideally we'd like to use the JW Player which is already set up for most of the videos. Unfortunately, a lot of the older videos are MPEG-4 encoded and require additional plugins to play in the browser.

  What I'd like to do is be able to transcode these videos on the fly to a format that JW Player supports, such as H.264. Now, I'm part way there because I can get it to convert the old MP4 files, but I'm having difficulty passing the data directly to the player.

  This is my current script doing the converting (this is media_converted.php) :

  <?php
  
      error_reporting(0);
  
      if (!isset($_GET["MediaName"])) {
  
          $_GET["MediaName"] = "GSX238";
  
      }       
  
      require_once("php/media_center_functions.php");
  
      $MediaURL = ConstructVideoURLInternap($_GET["MediaName"]);  
  
      header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
  
      //header('Content-type: video/mp4');
  
      //$calculatedFileSize = filesize($MediaURL);
  
      //header("Content-Length: {$calculatedFileSize}");
  
  
  
      $cmd = 'ffmpeg -i "'.$MediaURL.'"  -vcodec libx264 -acodec copy -f mp4  -moov_size 32000 "_temp/'.time().'_temp.mp4"  2> _temp/media_converter_output.txt';
  
      passthru($cmd);
  
  
  
  ?>

  I'm trying to take the above file and pass it to the JW Player as the video source : in the JW Player's variable scripting, like so :

  so.addVariable('file','media_converted.php?MediaName=12345');

  While I believe this should work, it's just not.

  Even when the conversion seems to work and be sending to the player, it's hard to tell because I think the browser is trying to download the entire file before playing anything. Obviously I can't make the user wait like that.

  I've looked into qt-faststart, and I was able to use it on my computer to modify the file so that it can start playing while it's being loaded. Unfortunately, this requires two steps. I first have to completely convert the file, then when it's done I have to use qt-faststart.exe on it. Again, this doesn't isn't really an on-the-fly solution. I'm sure there has to be some way to do produce similar results in a single command to be output to the player... right ?

  There is more video data on the server than I currently have space for on my hard drive, so to permanently re-encode each video, even in batches, would be troublesome, because I'd have to download some, convert, reupload, download more, etc. If I have to do that, I will, but I would prefer to leave them as is and be able to transcode on the fly.

  Any ideas ?

• Cross-compile FFMPEG for OSX10.6 on 10.8

  12 juillet 2013, par Seth

  I use static binaries of FFMPEG and X264 in a droplet application I use at work. I found a great script that greatly simplifies creating the static dependencies and compiling the programs themselves. I used to work on a 10.6.8 machine and as my other machines at work upgraded to 10.7 and 10.8, the old binary continued to work fine. However, I've recently upgraded to a new iMac with 10.8 and I've been wanting to update my ffmpeg to the latest 2.0 release.

  As such, I've been trying to figure out cross-compiling for older OSX platforms and I've been failing. I've downloaded the OSX 10.6 SDK and I've tried all the various arch and target flags I can find for all the various libraries, but I still keep getting "Illegal Instruction" errors when trying to run ffmpeg or x264 on 10.6.8.

  The entire code is at this repo : https://github.com/csparker247/ffmpeg-static It's really only using the build-crosscompile.sh script and env.source, though. Any and all help is greatly appreciated (even if you just link me to some suggested reading).

  EDIT : I didn't have much time earlier so I wasn't able to explain as much as I'd have liked. Here's the configure command I'm using for ffmpeg. It should give an idea of how I'm trying to cross-compile. Chances are I'm doing it very wrong.

  CFLAGS="-I$TARGET_DIR/include -mmacosx-version-min=10.6" LDFLAGS="-L$TARGET_DIR/lib -lm" ./configure --arch=x86_64 --target-os=darwin --sysroot=/SDKs/MacOSX.platform/MacOSX10.6.sdk --enable-cross-compile --cc=clang --prefix=${OUTPUT_DIR:-$TARGET_DIR} --extra-version=static --disable-debug --disable-shared --enable-static --extra-cflags=--static --disable-ffplay --disable-ffserver --disable-doc --enable-gpl --enable-pthreads --enable-postproc --enable-gray --enable-runtime-cpudetect --enable-libfdk-aac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libtheora --enable-libvorbis --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid --enable-bzlib --enable-zlib --enable-nonfree --enable-version3 --disable-devices
