• Spotlight : Alwaysdata.com the company behind Piwik.org web hosting [Interview]

  11 avril 2013, par matt — About, Community

  Piwik is the result of the work of many talented individuals and companies. Today we’d like to showcase Alwaysdata.com, the awesome web hosting company providing managed hosting for all Piwik.org websites and services.

  I recently met and asked a few questions to Cyril, co-founder of Alwaysdata.com and Piwik core developer. Learn more in the interview below !

  

  1. What is Alwaysdata ?
  2. Who are your customers and what kind of work do you do ?
  3. What sets Alwaysdata apart from the large web hosting competition ?
  4. Are you using Piwik internally or with customers ? If so, how are you using Piwik ?
  5. What is the next big thing for Alwaysdata ?
  6. Learn more

  What is Alwaysdata ?

  We are a French web hosting company created in 2006. If you need to host a website — a Piwik installation, for example — or even your domains/emails, we provide infrastructure and maintenance services.

  Who are your customers and what kind of work do you do ?

  We have several types of clients :

  • Individuals who need hosting for their personal site and who benefit from storage space with direct SSH access.
  • Web agencies who need hosting for their clients’ sites.
  • The largest customers, often on dedicated servers, for hosting their site/infrastructure.

  Our work falls into three categories :

  1. Support (via administration, telephone, Twitter, IRC, etc.)
  2. Development (in Python), primarily to add new features
  3. System administration, either for maintenance (e.g. adding servers), or for preparing new features

  What sets Alwaysdata apart from the large web hosting competition ?

  Two things :

  • Availability. We are a small team and often know our customers quite well. We are all on IRC, so you can contact us directly if you need any assistance.
  • Features. We are halfway between traditional web hosting and the cloud, combining the advantages of both.

  Are you using Piwik internally or with customers ? If so, how are you using Piwik ?

  All of our customers can view statistics for their sites via our global Piwik installation, without having to configure anything.

  To provide these analytics reports to our customers, we implemented import of the raw access logs in Piwik. The Log import toolkit is now a feature included in Piwik.

  What is the next big thing for Alwaysdata ?

  We are going to upgrade our pricing : instead of fixed costs, each of our clients will now pay exactly what they consume. This allows our clients the benefit of a very high quality service for the lowest possible price.

  We are also going to add native support for more technologies : Java, Node.js, ZeroMQ, etc.

  Thank you for your time and all the best to Alwaysdata for the future !

  —

  Note from Matt, Piwik founder : Cyril and the team at Alwaysdata.com have been consistently great in their system administration work for Piwik.org services, providing a fast and reliable web hosting experience with top notch support and security practises. They also handled the migration of all services from our old servers with total piece of mind.

  Alwaysdata contributed to Piwik the popular Log Analytics toolkit. They are great software developers and system administrators with a passion for their work. Since 2006, they have been maintaining optimized hosting services for the entire web infrastructure (websites, domains, emails, databases, etc.), from the simplest to the most exotic. We do recommend their managed hosting services.

• [Aug-Sept 2013] Piwik 2.0 Development Update !

  3 octobre 2013, par Fabian Becker — Development

  This Development Update is the first in a new series of posts we’ll be writing to keep you, our loyal users, informed of our efforts. We hope these updates keep you excited about Piwik’s future, and if you’re a developer, we hope they inspire and challenge you to accomplish more yourself !

  Despite this being our first update, it will probably be one of our biggest. We’ve gotten a lot done as we race towards the Piwik 2.0 release ! Just see for yourself :

  What we’ve accomplished

  Theming

  Piwik now supports theming, a feature that was requested often in the past. Because of our switch to the Twig template engine and other major code changes it is now possible to change the way Piwik looks. Additionally, developers can use the dynamic stylesheet language LESS, instead of CSS. Piwik will automatically transform the LESS code into CSS.

  Piwik 2.0 will ship with a new dark theme called PleineLune (french for Full Moon) that makes use of the new theming feature. Another theme with a left-aligned menu was created during the Piwik Meetup in Paris. Both of these themes were created by Thomas Zilliox, a very talented designer and CSS expert.

  

  PHP 5.3 Namespaces

  For Piwik 2.0 we decided to make use of namespaces, a feature introduced in PHP 5.3. The usage of namespaces makes our code more readable and allows us to better modularize the platform. This is in part why we are raising the required minimum PHP version to 5.3 for Piwik 2.0. (Remember to update your server !)

  Translations in JSON

  All translations are now stored in JSON files which makes storing translations in Piwik a lot cleaner that the giant PHP array we previously used.

  Side note : if you’d like to make Piwik available to more languages, please sign up at translations.piwik.org. We’d love to have your help !

  UI Tests

  We now use UI tests to make sure that changes to the code don’t break the UI. UI tests use PhantomJS and CutyCapt and are automatically executed on Travis CI. Whenever an integration test fails the script produces a screenshot diff that shows the difference. Learn more.

  

  AnonymizeIP supports IPv6

  The AnonymizeIP plugin now masks IPv6 addresses. The concept of the config option ‘ip_address_mask_length’ has now changed to reflect the level of masking that should be applied to the IP. With a masking level of 1 Piwik will mask the last octet of an IPv4 address and the last 80 bits of an IPv6 address.

  All Websites Dashboard usable with 20,000+ Websites

  The All Websites Dashboard is now usable even if you track many thousands of websites in your Piwik instance. We rewrote parts of the archiving process in order to make this possible. Making Piwik fast and memory efficient is a constant concern for core developers.

  Plugins can now add new Visualizations

  Piwik Plugins and Themes can now create new visualizations for your report data. They can also specify their own ViewDataTable footer icons or modify existing ones. This will allow plugin developers to create new ways for you to view your data, customize existing reports so they look great in new visualizations and provide extra analytics functionality accessible in each of your reports.

  The new TreemapVisualization plugin makes use of this feature to let you view your reports as treemaps. It serves as an example of this new functionality.

  Piwik Marketplace

  The Piwik Marketplace is a new platform developers can use to publish their plugins and themes so all Piwik users can easily access them. The marketplace is hosted at plugins.piwik.org and is currently in an early development state, but we’re already able to host plugins !

  Developers can easily publish their plugins by adding a commit hook to their Github repositories. Every time you push a new tag, the marketplace will make a new version of your plugin available. The marketplace will provide a centralized platform to search for plugins and also provide statistics on plugin usage.

  Install Plugins and Themes in one click from within Piwik

  Piwik has offered since the beginning the much-loved “one click update” feature. We are bringing the same functionnality to the Marketplace : you will be able to install Plugins and Themes in one click directly within the Piwik interface ! Similarly to WordPress or Firefox, Piwik will let you extend the functionnality of your analytics platform.

  Conclusion

  In Piwik 2.0 you will be able to install plugins and themes from the marketplace. And, if you’re so inclined, you will be able to create and host your own plugins/themes on the marketplace so everyone can use them. This is by far the accomplishment we are most excited by… the possibilities it opens up for Piwik’s future are truly unlimited. We hope you share our excitement !

  Au revoir, until next time !

  PS : our mission is to liberate web analytics ; thank you for sharing the word about Piwik 2.0 !

• Handling correctly the ffmpeg & ffprobe with php

  29 septembre 2014, par cocco

  Handling correctly the ffmpeg & ffprobe with php

  maybe not relevant final goals :

  1. upload clip with ajax
  2. get ajax info from ffprobe using php as json executing ffprobe once only (no ffmpeg)
  3. handle all calculations with javascript
  4. maybe an extra php script tool that can create gifs, extract frames(thumbs), or a video grid preview
  5. when rdy ajax the conversion info to the final php conversion script executing ffmpeg once only (just the final ffmpeg string.).

  I’m trying to write my own ffmpeg local web video editor that converts all formats to mp4 automatically. As mp4 is the most compatible container now and the h264+aac/+ac3 is also one of the best compressions. I also want to be able to cut, crop, resize, remove streams, add streams and more. I’m stuck on some simple problems :

  1. HOW TO GET THE INFO ?

  I’m using ffprobe to get the file information as json with the following command :

  ffprobe -v quiet -print_format json -show_format -show_streams -show_packets '.$video

  this gives you a lot of information, but some relevant stuff is not always present. I need the duration (in milliseconds),the fps (as a float) and the total frames (as an integer).

  i know that these values can sometimes be found inside this array :

  format.duration //Total duration
  
  streams[0].duration //Video duration
  
  streams[1].duration //Audio duration
  
  
  
  streams[0].avg_frame_rate //Average framerate
  
  streams[0].r_frame_rate //Video framerate
  
  
  
  streams[0].nb_frames //Total frames

  but most of the time nb_frames is missing, also avg_frame_rate differs from r_frame_rate, which is also not always available.

  I know that i could use multiple commands to increase the chance to get the correct values.. but srsly ???

  //fps
  
  ffmpeg -i INPUT 2>&1 | sed -n "s/.*, \(.*\) fp.*/\1/p" 
  
  //duration
  
  ffmpeg -i INPUT 2>&1 | awk '/Duration/ {split($2,a,":");print a[1]*3600+a[2]*60+a[3]}'
  
  //frames
  
  ffmpeg -i INPUT -vcodec copy -f rawvideo -y /dev/null 2>&1 | tr ^M '\n' | awk '/^frame=/ {print $2}'|tail -n 1

  I don’t want to execute ffmpeg 3 times to get this information ; I’d prefer to just use ffprobe.

  So... is there an elegant way to get the extra info that is not always present inside the ffprobe output (fps, frames, duration) ???

  In the preview i want to be able to jump correctly to a specific frame (NOT TIME). if the above parameters are aviable i can do that using this command.

  ffmpeg -i INPUT -vf 'select=gte(n\,FRAMENUMBER)' -vframes 1 -f image2 OUTPUT

  using the above command by setting the framenumber to the last frame always returns a black frame.
  if there are 50 frames (for example) the range is 1-50 — correct ? Frame 50 is black, frame 1 is ok, frame 0 returns an error...

  ---

  2. WHILE READING THE LOG HOW TO SKIP ERRORS AND DETERMINE IF THE CONVERSION IS FINISHED ?

  I’m able to upload one single video per time (per page) and i can read the current progress from the ffmpeg generated output log until i don’t close the page. more control/multiple conversions would be nice.

  i’m reading the last line of the log with a custom tail function but as this is a log that also includes errors i don’t always get a nice line containing the desidered values. btw to check if the progress is complete i check if the last line CONTAINS the WORD frame ....

  How can i find out when the conversion progress is finished ?

  maybe a way to delete the log with ffmpeg command ??And skip/log the errors ??

  i’m using server sent events to read the log...
  here is the php code

  <?php
  
  setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "en_US.UTF-8");
  
  function tailCustom($filepath,$lines=1,$adaptive=true){
  
   // a custom function to get the last line of a textfile.
  
  }
  
  function send($data){
  
   echo "id: ".time().PHP_EOL;
  
   echo "data: ".$data.PHP_EOL;
  
   echo PHP_EOL;
  
   ob_flush();
  
   flush();
  
  }
  
  header('Content-Type: text/event-stream');
  
  header('Cache-Control: no-cache');
  
  while(true){
  
   send(tailCustom($_GET['log'].".log"));
  
   sleep(1);
  
  }
  
  ?>

  And here the SSE js

  function startSSE(fn){
  
   sse=new EventSource("ffmpegProgress.php?log="+encodeURIComponent(fn));
  
   sse.addEventListener('message',conversionProgress,false);
  
  }
  
  function conversionProgress(e){
  
   if(e.data.substr(0,6)=='frame='){
  
    inProgress=true;
  
    var x=e.data.match(/frame=\s*(.*?)\s*fps=\s*(.*?)\s*q=\s*(.*?)\s*size=\s*(.*?)\s*time=\s*(.*?)\s*bitrate=\s*(.*?)\s*$/);
  
    x.shift();x={frame:x[0]*1,fps:x[1]*1,q:x[2],size:x[3],time:x[4],bitrate:x[5]};
  
  var elapsedTime = ((new Date().getTime()) - startTime);
  
  var chunksPerTime = timeString2ms(x.time) / elapsedTime;
  
  var estimatedTotalTime = duration / chunksPerTime;
  
  var timeLeftInSeconds = Math.abs(elapsedTime-(estimatedTotalTime*1000));
  
  var withOneDecimalPlace = Math.round(timeLeftInSeconds * 10) / 10;
  
    conversion.innerHTML='Time Left: '+ms2TimeString(timeLeftInSeconds).split('.')[0]+'<br />'+
  
    'Time Left2: '+(ms2TimeString(((frames-x.frame)/x.fps)*1000)+(timeString2ms(x.time)/(duration*1000)*100|0)).split('.')[0]+'<br />'+
  
    'Estimated Total: '+ms2TimeString(estimatedTotalTime*1000).split('.')[0]+'<br />'+
  
    'Elapsed Time: '+ms2TimeString(elapsedTime).split('.')[0];
  
   }else{
  
    if(inProgress){
  
     sse.removeEventListener('message',conversionProgress,false);
  
     sse.close();
  
     sse=null;
  
     conversion.textContent='Finished in '+ms2TimeString((new Date().getTime()) - startTime).split('.')[0];
  
     //delete log/old file??
  
     inProgress=false;
  
    }
  
   }
  
  }

  EDIT

  HERE IS A SAMPLE OUTPUT after detecting h264 codec in a m2ts with ac3 audio

  As most devices can already read h264 i just need to convert the audio in aac and copy the same audio AC3 as second track. and put everything inside a mp4 container. So that i have a Android/chrome/ios & more browsers compatible file.

  $opt="-map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:1 -c:v copy -c:a:0 libfdk_aac -metadata:s:a:0 language=ita -b:a 128k -ar 48000 -ac 2 -c:a:1 copy -metadata:s:a:1 language=ita -movflags +faststart";
  
  
  
  $i="in.m2ts";
  
  $o="out.mp4";
  
  $t="title";
  
  $y="2014";
  
  $progress="nameoftheLOG.log";
  
  
  
  $cmd="ffmpeg -y -i ".escapeshellarg($i)." -metadata title=".$t." -metadata date=".$y." ".$opt." ".$o." null >/dev/null 2>".$progress." &";
