• WebM file not seekable in Chrome, when generated with ffmpeg

  11 avril 2014, par Zoon

  I am having a mind-boggling problem, I just can't seem to resolve.

  Providing a WebM file through PHP is nothing new in my world, and I even know how to work with HTTP 206 Partial Content. But for some reason Chrome does not like it.

  A simple HTML5 video playback

  <video width="640" height="360" poster="picture/preview/V00000006.jpg" controls="controls" preload="preload">
  
      <source type="video/webm" src="/video/V00000006.webm">
  
  </source></video>

  where /video/V00000006.webm is rewritten to a PHP-file in Apache, will playback just fine.
  But in Chrome the seekbar is not effective. When clicking on the seekbar the player will freeze and no longer playback until page is refreshed. Firefox handles it just fine !

  If I change /video/V00000006.webm to be a direct link to the same video it works just fine. I even compared the network requests between the two versions (with and without PHP) and there is barely any difference in the first request, but the second is failing in the PHP-delivered video.

  Initial request and seek request for Apache-delivered video file :

  Notice how the second request does not complete, Provisional headers are shown.

  I have tried altering the cache headers, setting it to the future, setting them blank and using file attachment headers.

  I tried fiddling around a lot with the serving code, but lately I have ended up with a simple example.

  <?php
  
  
  
  $path = 'test.webm';
  
  
  
  $size=filesize($path);
  
  
  
  $fm=@fopen($path,'rb');
  
  if(!$fm) {
  
    header ("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
  
    die();
  
  }
  
  
  
  $begin=0;
  
  $end = $size-1;
  
  
  
  if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'])) {
  
    if(preg_match('/bytes=\h*(\d+)-(\d*)[\D.*]?/i', $_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'], $matches)) {
  
      $begin=intval($matches[0]);
  
      if(!empty($matches[1])) {
  
        $end=intval($matches[1]);
  
      }
  
    }
  
  }
  
  
  
  if($begin>0||$end<$size)
  
    header('HTTP/1.0 206 Partial Content');
  
  else
  
    header('HTTP/1.0 200 OK');
  
  
  
  header("Content-Type: video/webm");
  
  header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
  
  header('Content-Length:'.($end-$begin+1));
  
  header("Content-Disposition: inline;");
  
  header("Content-Range: bytes $begin-$end/$size");
  
  header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\n");
  
  header('Connection: close');
  
  
  
  ob_get_clean();
  
  flush();
  
  
  
  $f = fopen($path, 'r');
  
  fseek($f, $offset);
  
  
  
  $pos = 0;
  
  $length = $end-$begin;
  
  
  
  while($pos < $length)
  
  {
  
      $chunk = min($length-$pos, 1024);
  
  
  
      echo fread($f, $chunk);
  
      flush();
  
  
  
      $pos += $chunk;
  
  }
  
  ?>

  Please note, entering the PHP-delivered video URL directly into the browser does not make a difference from showing it in a HTML page.

  I hope someone has an answer to why seeking might not work. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

  Thanks !

• Today we celebrate Data Privacy Day 2019

  28 janvier 2019, par Jake Thornton — Privacy
  Today we celebrate Data Privacy Day 2019 !!!

  What is Data Privacy Day ?

  Wikipedia tells us that : The purpose of Data Privacy Day is to raise awareness and promote privacy and data protection best practices.

  Our personal data is our online identity. When you think what personal data means – our phone records, credit card transactions, GPS position, IP addresses, browsing history and so much more. All so valuable and personal to us as human beings.

  That’s why we cannot take our personal data online for granted. We have a right to know which websites collect our data and how it’s then used, something that’s often not visible or easily recognisable when browsing.

  What Data Privacy Day means to Matomo

  Every year the team at Matomo uses this day as a chance to reflect on how far the Matomo (formerly Piwik) project has come. But then also reflect how far we still have to go in spreading the message that our data and personal information online matters.

  2018 saw the introduction of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to protect people’s data online. As a team, Matomo was at the forefront of this development in the analytics space and have since built a GDPR Manager to ensure our users can be fully compliant with the GDPR.

  With every new release of Matomo, we are ensuring that security continues to be at the highest standard and we will continue to be committed to our bug bounty program. Our most recent release of Matomo 3.8.0 alone added a Two Factor Authentication (2FA) feature and a password brute force prevention.

  What next for Matomo and data privacy ?

  As always, security is a top priority for every new release of Matomo and continues to only get better and better. We have a duty to spread our message further that the protection of personal data matters and today is a vital reminder of that. We are, and forever will be, the #1 open-source (and free to use) web analytics platform in the world that fully respects user privacy and gives our users 100% data ownership.

  In 2018 we changed our name, we updated our logo and website, and advanced our platform to compete with the most powerful web analytics tools in the world, all so we can spread our message further and continue our mission.

  Come with us on this exciting journey. Now is the time to take back control of your data and let’s continue creating a safer web for everyone.

  Please help us spread this message.

• Q&A : An interview with Matomo founder, Matthieu Aubry

  20 novembre 2018, par Joselyn Khor — About, Community

  Hey everyone ! Joselyn here. As always the views of our community remain top of mind. So to make sure you guys know the thinking behind these new projects, we reached out to Matomo’s founder, Matthieu, to ask questions you might want answered. Please check it out below !

  Hi guys, it’s Matthieu ! Here to answer some questions about the rebrand and the future of Matomo and Innocraft.

  What’s upcoming ?

  We’ve been busy implementing our rebrand into all aspects of Matomo and there’s also our new website, which is launching today ! The new website will help people better understand what Matomo is and how they can benefit from using modern web analytics.

  Why was Matomo and Innocraft brought onto one website ?

  In the past the separation caused a bit of confusion so we’re taking this as a chance to unite both the business brand, Innocraft and community brand, Matomo, on one website. Putting our focus on one brand, Matomo, makes it easier for people to see us with fresh eyes. We have a community side as well as a business side and while the community is still incredibly important to us, we find we have a powerful analytics tool that is capable of helping businesses too.

  Is Matomo becoming commercial or turning corporate ?

  No. nothing is changing. Matomo is still an open-source project and community. Although we’ll have a pricing page and “start free trial” on the new website brought over from Innocraft.cloud, the Matomo community will still play the biggest part on the Matomo website. We have dedicated sections focused on Community and On-Premise.

  The rebrand exercise helped us gain a refreshed perspective. After reflecting on how far we’ve come, we can feel more confident about Matomo Analytics itself as a platform. We believe it’s a great chance to bring that confidence into the brand and vision. We are proud that it’s an awesome open-source platform and at the same time it’s also powerful as a tool for businesses.

  Why is there no ‘download for free’ button on the homepage ?

   

  
  We feel many users coming to the site will get confused about our hosting options (Cloud and On-Premise) which is something you don’t usually consider when choosing an analytics tool.

  The reason for us to not have that button is when people see a “download for free” button on the homepage next to a “try it for free” button, it creates confusion. For those who do choose to download Matomo often become confused when they are left with a .zip file unaware how to install it and the technical requirements of self-hosting. We feel presenting our users with the simplest installation option first will give them the best chance possible to try Matomo to its full potential, without cost.

  And you can still find the link to Download Matomo in the footer of each page.
  

   

  Is Matomo still free to download and have forever ?

  Absolutely. The free open-source download can be found on the On-Premise section of the website, or download Matomo here.

  Why is it important to have a business behind the project ?

  There’s the reality that we have to make money in order for the Matomo project to survive … and thrive. The reason we still need a business side (Innocraft) is to fund and sustain the Matomo project. Whenever people purchase premium features, this helps finance the development of Matomo for our community.

  Because of the business we’re able to continually maintain and develop Matomo for you guys as well as future users. For example, the next release Matomo 3.8.0 is already mostly developed and will bring lots of interesting features too, like the two-factor authentication, Brute Force Protection, failed tracking requests reporting, lots of JavaScript tracker improvements, a new total summary row below reports, and many more security fixes, bug fixes, and other new features.

  So we see a business being very helpful in supporting our open-source community. Without a business side, our free, open-source project would not be able to survive.

  How will you protect the Matomo project ?

  We’ve ensured the Matomo project will be protected for the future as we wish to turn it into a not-for-profit foundation.

  We’ve also got a safeguard where the open-source code will stay under a GPL license forever. This is so we can guarantee, that no matter what happens, the Matomo project itself will stay completely free software.

  Is there a way for people to help ?

  There are heaps of ways to help ! You can help other Matomo users in the forums, contribute to fixes on GitHub, leave a great review (e.g. alternativeTo), help look for bugs with our Security Bounty Programme or participate and spread the word about Matomo in our community social media pages – Mastodon, Facebook, Twitter. Telling your friends about us would be very helpful too !

  What’s planned for the future ?
  We’ve worked hard to become the #1 open-source analytics platform (1.4 million websites use Matomo today), but now we need to empower even more individuals and businesses to take back control of their own data.

  Showing our community that we have a powerful platform is crucial, but alongside that our values are what define us. User privacy is still of utmost importance and we’re here to make it known that power needs to rest in the hands of people and not large corporations.

  You can rest easy knowing you’re doing your part in using trustworthy and dependable tools. By joining many other companies who are growing this movement to decentralise the Internet, we can build a safer, online world together.

  Join this analytics revolution and let us know what you think about Matomo !
