• Methods For Retaining State

  26 décembre 2011, par Multimedia Mike — General, evernote, organization

  I jump around between projects. A lot. Over the years, I have employed various methods for retaining state or context as I switch to a different project. Here’s a quick survey and a general classification of their effectiveness.

  Good

  • Evernote : This is a cloud-based note-taking service that has a web client, Mac and Windows clients, and clients for just about ever mobile platform out there. I have an account and access it via the web interface as as the Windows, iOS, and Android clients. I really like it.

  
  
  

  Okay

  • Series of text files : I have been doing this for a very long time. I have many little note-filled directories here and there that are consistently migrated to new machines but generally forgotten about. This isn’t a terrible method but can be unwieldy when you work on lots of different machines. I’m still tracking down all these directories and importing them into Evernote.

  Bad

  • Layout of desktop windows : I have a habit of working on one project in a set of windows on one desktop space and another project in a second set of windows in another space, etc. Oh, this makes me shudder just thinking about it, mostly because of living in constant fear of a power failure or some other inadvertent reset (darn you, default config’d Windows Update) that wipes the state clean (sure, all of the work might have been saved, but I was relying on those windows to be set up in just the right manner to remind me of all the things I was working on). These days, I force myself to reboot at least once a week so I can’t get too deep into this habit. When it’s time to change projects, I write up exactly what I was doing and where I left off and stick it in Evernote.
  • Open browser windows : I guess it’s common to have many, many tabs open in one’s web browser in this day and age. Like many, I use open tabs as a stack of items to read. The state problem comes when a few of the open tabs represent TODO items. Then I start living in fear that the browser might crash or be restarted in an unexpected way and I struggle to recall what 3-5 important TODO items were that I had opened in separate tabs (on top of a stack of less important items). Again, I try to shut down the browser frequently in order to break this tendency. TODO items are better filed in Evernote.
  • Unsaved data in a text editor : Okay, this is just sloppy on my part, shoving temporary data into a text editor window thinking it’s supremely ephemeral. The problem comes when it’s linked to one of the many tasks on my desktop that might be bumped down a few priority levels ; when finally returning to the context-free data, I’m at a loss to explain what it’s for. Evernote gets it, once more, with a more thorough description of what was going on.
  • Email inbox : I make an effort to ensure that my email inbox has the fewest number of messages possible. Once things are dealt with, they get filed away elsewhere. This implies that things in my inbox require action. Some things have a habit of hanging around, though. Longer items now get described in better detail and filed away in Evernote.
  • Classic paper : Thanks to Derek in the comments for reminding me of this one. Paper is a reliable standby but it can get unwieldy when Post-It Notes litter your work area. Further, it can be problematic when you have multiple physical work areas.
  • Shell history : Another method I rely on entirely too often. This is when I count on a recipe of command line incantations living on in the history buffer of my Unix shell (generally Bash). What sequence of git commands allowed me to do XYZ ? Let’s check the shell history– I sure hope it’s still in there.

  Conclusion
  I guess what I’m trying to say here is that I really like Evernote. If you have similar troubles with retaining state, try it out. I hear there are many other services similar to it with slightly varying feature sets (people rave about Microsoft OneNote). So there are plenty of options and something out there is surely a fit.

  Evernote has a free tier and a premium tier. For my meager note-taking needs, I don’t come anywhere close to the free tier’s limit but I decided to pay for a premium subscription simply because I feel like I derive so much value from the service.

  One downside, however, is that I seem to be doing a lot less blogging since I got on Evernote earlier this year (though it is where I author most of these posts nowadays ; I especially like that I have a notebook labeled “Posted” whose incrementing count reminds me that I am getting some stuff out there). I originally started this blog as a sort of technical journal in order to organize notes and projects in a central location. It’s strange to think that if Evernote existed in 2005, I might never have had a reason to start this blog.

• FFMPEG, DrawText Issue in Live Stream

  7 décembre 2022, par Kenneth

  I am using the following command to create an H264 stream with text data from a text file. Example data is fake. I am sending this to an RTSP server that then allows clients to connect. I am connecting from VLC to view the stream.

  


  See update, this only happens for the live stream. If I output to file, it looks correct.

  


  OS : Windows 10

  


  ffmpeg -f lavfi -re -i color=size=1280x720:rate=1:color=black ^
  -vf drawtext="fontsize=16:fontfile=C\\:/Windows/fonts/consola.ttf:fontcolor=white:textfile='livetext.txt':x=50:y=50: reload=1" ^
  -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -tune zerolatency -x264-params keyint=10:min-keyint=10 ^
  -f rtsp rtsp://127.0.0.1:60000/sorting


  


  The issue I am having is that the text shown in the video seems to be limited to 10 rows. On a fresh restart, I get even less. I don't see anything mentioned in the documentation about a limitation on length.

  


  I have tried different -preset and -tune options. Nothing improves this issue.

  


  Are there settings I should adjust to help this ?

  


  

  


  Console Output :

  Update 1 :

  


  If I output to a file, the text is shown correctly (shown below). If I take out the -re argument for the output to match input rate, I get 150fps, so processing power does not seem to be the issue.

  


  

  


• MPD doesnt load ffmpeg as decoder

  10 août 2022, par dmSherazi

  I am using openwrt 21.2.3 and mpd on it. I have compile mpd full and libffmpeg full as well as ffmpeg-full packages.
But my mpd wont load ffmpeg as decoder. Also tried to force it by adding decoder { plugin “ffmpeg” enabled “no” }” line to /etc/mpd.conf

  


  below is my mpd.conf

  


  log_file "syslog"

bind_to_address "127.0.0.1"
bind_to_address "192.168.1.16"

input {
    plugin          "curl"
}

audio_output {
    type            "alsa"
    name            "sun4icodec"
    device          "plug:dmix"
    mixer_control   "Power Amplifier"
}

decoder {
     plugin  "ffmpeg"
     enabled  "yes"
}


  


  the mpd —version output is as follows
