• File (Video,audio,image) metadata information

  31 juillet 2015, par user2768747

  I am trying to write some APIs to get file (video/audio/image) metadata information.So I need to give file name as input and get the metadata information extracted out.

  I am looking at ffprobe (part of ffmpeg) for the same , but if some better idea you have for the APIs, please let me know.

  Below metadata I want to extract using my code e.g.album,artist,audio codec,author,bit rate,duration,filename,title,publisher,track,video codec, year etc

• Progress with rtc.io

  12 août 2014, par silvia

  At the end of July, I gave a presentation about WebRTC and rtc.io at the WDCNZ Web Dev Conference in beautiful Wellington, NZ.

  

  Putting that talk together reminded me about how far we have come in the last year both with the progress of WebRTC, its standards and browser implementations, as well as with our own small team at NICTA and our rtc.io WebRTC toolbox.

  

  One of the most exciting opportunities is still under-exploited : the data channel. When I talked about the above slide and pointed out Bananabread, PeerCDN, Copay, PubNub and also later WebTorrent, that’s where I really started to get Web Developers excited about WebRTC. They can totally see the shift in paradigm to peer-to-peer applications away from the Server-based architecture of the current Web.

  Many were also excited to learn more about rtc.io, our own npm nodules based approach to a JavaScript API for WebRTC.

  

  We believe that the World of JavaScript has reached a critical stage where we can no longer code by copy-and-paste of JavaScript snippets from all over the Web universe. We need a more structured module reuse approach to JavaScript. Node with JavaScript on the back end really only motivated this development. However, we’ve needed it for a long time on the front end, too. One big library (jquery anyone ?) that does everything that anyone could ever need on the front-end isn’t going to work any longer with the amount of functionality that we now expect Web applications to support. Just look at the insane growth of npm compared to other module collections :

  

  For those that – like myself – found it difficult to understand how to tap into the sheer power of npm modules as a font end developer, simply use browserify. npm modules are prepared following the CommonJS module definition spec. Browserify works natively with that and “compiles” all the dependencies of a npm modules into a single bundle.js file that you can use on the front end through a script tag as you would in plain HTML. You can learn more about browserify and module definitions and how to use browserify.

  For those of you not quite ready to dive in with browserify we have prepared prepared the rtc module, which exposes the most commonly used packages of rtc.io through an “RTC” object from a browserified JavaScript file. You can also directly download the JavaScript file from GitHub.

  

  So, I hope you enjoy rtc.io and I hope you enjoy my slides and large collection of interesting links inside the deck, and of course : enjoy WebRTC ! Thanks to Damon, JEeff, Cathy, Pete and Nathan – you’re an awesome team !

  On a side note, I was really excited to meet the author of browserify, James Halliday (@substack) at WDCNZ, whose talk on “building your own tools” seemed to take me back to the times where everything was done on the command-line. I think James is using Node and the Web in a way that would appeal to a Linux Kernel developer. Fascinating !!

• A *hot* Piwik Community Meetup 2015 !

  10 août 2015 — Community

  Last weekend I arrived in Germany to attend the Piwik Community Meetup 2015 and now I am in Poland. I joined Piwik PRO back in May as enterprise support project coordinator in North America. I am now writing this from the Piwik PRO main office in Wrocław, where I’ll be working from for the next two weeks.

  The meetup was HOT in every sense ! Berlin temperatures reached 35 degrees (celsius), as I finally meet in person several long-time, dedicated Piwik community contributors.

  In the first leg of my trip I was in Berlin to meet Piwik community members and Piwik PRO staff to prepare for the 2015 annual Piwik community meetup. These are my notes taken during the meeting at the request of one of my colleagues. I also relayed live on Framasphère, Twitter and IRC.

  This was harder than I expected, as I took notes with my laptop, pictures with my phone, wrote live to social media (using the Android Diaspora Native Web App), and used my laptop to relay on IRC. Going forward this requires better preparation, I was glad I had a few links and pictures ready before hand but it really requires intense focus to achieve this. I am glad presenters were patient when I requested repeating some of the ideas they shared. I am also a bit disappointed not much happened in IRC.

  Two day preparation sessions

  The discussions and session we had during the two days prior to the meetup are available here.

  We gathered in rented apartments in Berlin, this reminded me very much of similar community gatherings and perhaps of BarCamp and, at a much smaller scale, UDS sessions.

  A list of ideas of topics was initially submitted, we then proceeded to have scheduled sessions for open discussion. Several people shared their concern there was no possible remote participation which led to making public the Trello boards used/linked here.

  Note : The Trello links below still have action items and notes that are pending bug report / feature requests filing which should happen over the coming weeks. Most importantly, many action items will need identifying leads for different community team including Translations and Documentation, and better coordination of coming community engagement.

  Monday sessions consisted of the following subjects :

  • What are Piwik values & how to communicate them ? (see below for details)
  • How to encourage and recognize new external contributors ?
  • How could we double the Piwik userbase ?
  • How Community can organise help resources

  On Tuesday we met again to discuss the following subjects :

  • Piwik Long Term support (LTS)
  • How do Piwik.org (project) and Piwik PRO (company) sit together / are organized ? – An important part of this session was about having better communication channels and improving the new team page (bug #8520 and bug #8519, respectively)
  • Improving usability of Piwik e.g. for new users – this last session was not held has we ran out of time and prepared to go to the meetup venue.

  Some more details about individual preparation sessions

  What are Piwik values & how to communicate them ?

  The main subjects in this session were important changes proposed in the project mission and values. This was edited directly on on the wiki page on GitHub, some of the changes can be seen by comparing revisions.

  Piwik mission statement (bug #7376)

  “To create the leading Free and open source analytics platform, and to support global organisations and communities to keep full control over their data.”

  Our values

  • Openness
  • Freedom
  • Transparency
  • Data ownership
  • Privacy
  • Kaizen (改善) : continuous improvement

  This was also presented by Matthieu Aubry at the meetup and is published in the Roadmap page. Bringing more visibility and perhaps having a top page for Mission and Values was also brought up.

  Meetup agenda and notes

  The official agenda is available here.

  Many Piwik PRO employees stayed in Berlin for the meetup, and we had good participation although less than last year in Munich as my colleagues told me. Some were consultants, others staff from public organizations, universities, etc. In retrospect considering the very hot weather and summer holidays the attendance was good. I was very happy to arrive at the beautiful Kulturbrauerei and enter the air-conditioned Soda Club. T-Shirts were waiting for all attendees and free drinks (non-alcohol !) were welcome
