Archiving VCR or any other RCA media After my Father passed away, I volunteered to archive his Video Cassette Recorder (VCR) collection to disk for the family. You might be aware that Europe used Phase Alternating Line (PAL) is a colour encoding system for analog television. It was one of three major analogue colour television standards, the others being NTSC and SECAM. Ireland used PAL-I, a version based on CCIR System I, which meant that none of the VCR players in the Netherlands would work. So in addition to having to carry 113 Video Cassettes on a RyanAir Flight, I also needed to bring the Video Player as well. Hardware RSA Connector to your media device RSA2HDMI card. HDMI to USB Capture Card. These are the ones I used but I don't recommend them one way or the other. The parts are fairly generic so use what you can get. Connection First drop to a console and list the connected usb devices $ lsusb | sort | tee before.txt Connect the VCR with RSA Cables to the AV2HDMI converter. Connect the AV2HDMI converter with a HDMI cable to the HDMI2USB converter. Connect the HDMI2USB converter to a Linux PC with a usb cable. After waiting a few seconds, you can list the usb devices again and do a diff to see which has been added. $ lsusb | sort | tee after.txt $ diff before.txt after.txt 11a12 > Bus 003 Device 021: ID 534d:2109 MacroSilicon USB Video While we know the USB device ID, we now need to know if/how the hardware is mapped into Linux. We need a way to be able to identify which /dev/video? device I need to capture from. First unplug the HDMI2USB capture card, and get a list of the video devices. $ for i in /sys/class/video4linux/video*/device/uevent ;do echo "${i} ===";cat "${i}";done | tee before.txt Plug back in the card and give it a few seconds to be recognised. Then run the same command and diff the output to see the differences. $ for i in /sys/class/video4linux/video*/device/uevent ;do echo "${i} ===";cat "${i}";done | tee after.txt $ diff before.txt after.txt 28a29,42 > /sys/class/video4linux/video4/device/uevent === > DEVTYPE=usb_interface > DRIVER=uvcvideo > PRODUCT=534d/2109/2100 > TYPE=239/2/1 > INTERFACE=14/1/0 > MODALIAS=usb:v534Dp2109d2100dcEFdsc02dp01ic0Eisc01ip00in00 > /sys/class/video4linux/video5/device/uevent === > DEVTYPE=usb_interface > DRIVER=uvcvideo > PRODUCT=534d/2109/2100 > TYPE=239/2/1 > INTERFACE=14/1/0 > MODALIAS=usb:v534Dp2109d2100dcEFdsc02dp01ic0Eisc01ip00in00 In my case I'm interested in the PRODUCT=534d/2109/2100. From which we can find the changing path, which in this case is /sys/class/video4linux/video5/ Similarly we also need to know which ALSA Audio Device it exposed. Again unplug the HDMI2USB capture card, and get a list of the audio devices. $ arecord -l | tee before.txt Plug back in the card and give it a few seconds to be recognised. Then run the same command and diff the output to see the differences. $ arecord -l | tee after.txt $ diff before.txt after.txt 7a8,10 > card 2: MS2109 [MS2109], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] > Subdevices: 1/1 > Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 In my case it reports as MS2109 from which we can find the changing card 2 Software Due to the limitations of this brand of video capture we need to force capture to use mjpg format at 30 frames per second. I first used vlc to test the capture Select Open Media > Capture Devices Select Video Device Name to the video device you found above. So as an example /dev/video4 Also set the "Audio device name" to the alsa card, eg hw: 2,0: Once audio and video were working, I switched to using ffmpeg as I'm more comfortable scripting with it. Bash script This is very much a "me" script, so edit it to your hardware and requirements. #!/bin/bash Copyright Ken Fallon 2024 (c) "No Rights Reserved" Released to the Public Domain via Creative Commons 0 https://creativecommons.org/public-domain/cc0/ video_device="$( grep -l 'PRODUCT=534d/2109/2100' /sys/class/video4linux/video*/device/uevent | head -1 | awk -F '/' '{print $5}' )" video_device_path="/dev/${video_device}" if [ -z "${video_device}" ] then echo "ERROR: Cannot find the HDMP2USB stick video stream" 1>&2 exit 1 else echo "INFO: Found the HDMP2USB stick video on "${video_device_path}"" 1>&2 fi audio_device_id="$( arecord -l | grep 'MS2109' | awk -F 'card |:' '{print $2}' )" if [ -z "${audio_device_id}" ] then echo "ERROR: Cannot find the HDMP2USB stick audio stream" 1>&2 exit 1 else echo "INFO: Found the HDMP2USB stick audio on "${audio_device_id}"" 1>&2 fi ffmpeg -f v4l2 -framerate 30 -video_size 720x480 -input_format mjpeg -thread_queue_size 512 -i "${video_device_path}" -f alsa -i hw:"${audio_device_id}" -c:v copy -c:a flac output-flac.mkv The break down of the ffmpeg options are as follows, for more information see man ffmpeg or view online man pages. SYNOPSIS ffmpeg [global_options] {[input_file_options] -i input_file} ... {[output_file_options] output_file} ... -f fmt (input/output) Force input or output file format. The format is normally auto detected for input files and guessed from the file extension for output files, so this option is not needed in most cases. -framerate Set the grabbing frame rate. Default is "ntsc", corresponding to a frame rate of "30000/1001". -video_size Set the video frame size. -input_format Set the preferred pixel format (for raw video) or a codec name. This option allows one to select the input format, when several are available. -thread_queue_size size (input) This option sets the maximum number of queued packets when reading from the file or device. With low latency / high rate live streams, packets may be discarded if they are not read in a timely manner; raising this value can avoid it. -i filename (input) input file name -f fmt (input/output) Force input or output file format. The format is normally auto detected for input files and guessed from the file extension for output files, so this option is not needed in most cases. -c[:stream_specifier] codec (input/output,per-stream) -codec[:stream_specifier] codec (input/output,per-stream) Select an encoder (when used before an output file) or a decoder (when used before an input file) for one or more streams. codec is the name of a decoder/encoder or a special value "copy" (output only) to indicate that the stream is not to be re-encoded. For example ffmpeg -i INPUT -map 0 -c:v libx264 -c:a copy OUTPUT encodes all video streams with libx264 and copies all audio streams. For each stream, the last matching "c" option is applied, so ffmpeg -i INPUT -map 0 -c copy -c:v:1 libx264 -c:a:137 libvorbis OUTPUT will copy all the streams except the second video, which will be encoded with libx264, and the 138th audio, which will be encoded with libvorbis. We used the v4l2 for the Video4Linux format. A frame rate of 30, and input format of mjpg which are limitations of the card. Given the source PAL-I has 625 lines, a video_size of 720x480 is reasonable. After ffmpeg complained, I added thread_queue_size of 512 to help out. Then the rest is specifying the input for the video, and setting the audio to flac. I just want to dump the incoming stream to a file so that it can be processed later. Recording for vcr in {0..113}; do ;-) The intention was to put in a tape in the morning before going to work. Swap it for another when I got home, and yet another when I went to bed. As there was no mechanism to know when the recording was done, I first checked the length of the tape by Fast Forwarding it to the end. I used the timeout command to run a command with a time limit This would prevent already massive files filling the disk with hours of static. timeout --preserve-status --kill-after=5m --verbose 210m record-720x480.bash Problems While it worked fine for some, there was an intermittent problem that would cause the laptop to freeze. It would eventually recover after a few days, but I lost a lot of time and couldn't trust the process. I checked the memory and hard disk, even writing to usb and a nas. With each hour of recording coming in at 6.6G, some tapes lead to 60G files. I suspect that my luks encrypted disk was struggled with the huge files that were been produced. So keeping it simple I called out my HP t610 Flexible Thin Client with 2nd hand 1T hard disk, and set it up with a clean install of Debian. This fixed the issue and allowed me to get consistent recordings, all be it in a not so handy format. Post processing I wanted to be able to scrubb forward and back, to see if there was anything recorded on the tapes. Unfortunately the mkv flac/mjpeg format doesn't allow scrubbing, so the recorded media first needed to be transcoded to a format that did allow scrubbing, but also reduced the file size dramatically. By specifying the filename as next this command converted the media to mp4. ffmpeg -i ${next} ${next%.*}.mp4 This reduces the size by about 50%. Once converted this allowed me to use LosslessCut The Swiss Army Knife of Lossless Video/Audio Editing, to quickly preview and cut out the sections I needed without having to reprocess everything. flatpak run no.mifi.losslesscut Links The following are the links I gathered while compiling this project.

On this episode of For Mac Eyes Only: Mike, Eric and special guest Darren Davies discuss virtualization vs emulation, how to run Windows and Linux on your Intel or Apple Silicon Mac, and using a “headless” Windows (or Linux) PC as a Remote Desktop solution. They wrap things up with a run-down of alternative options for running older operating systems, stand-alone apps, and games on your Mac. Plus Darren gives us a peek into his quest for the perfect Linux Desktop!
This video is about publishing statistics on the Internet. You see, I announced a while ago that I would be offering a four-digit platinum group membership with a brand new trading system in a short period of time. Now this is one of the pre-versions and we have an account hosted at Robo Forex Pro that has this account number here. And unlike my other habits, I’m now on FXBlue.com. Because with MyFxBook I was not able to reliably publish the account statistics on a Linux machine. Because this MetaTrader here runs on a Linux device and I have now built my own trading distribution built on Debian. In fact, I also managed to install FX Blue’s Expert Advisor on the Linux machine in MetaTrader. The whole thing runs here under Play on Linux and currently the Expert Advisor is red, because we get no new trading signals, it is weekend. But you can already see here, the last update was at 10:26 a.m. The account details are also visible. Fx Blue has different functionalities here. One can monitor certain core values. The whole thing can be displayed as a chart. Currently we have made 279 trades on the Euro US Dollar chart. With a total profit of 204.11 $. The net result is $89.16. Interestingly, we have 230 buy trades and 49 sell trades, although the Euro US Dollar has just this week reached its lowest level since the turn of the millennium. If you want, you can take a closer look at all these details here. I think it’s set up quite well. Then there is the whole thing here again as a print statement or you can download it here in Excel. On my Linux machine here I don’t have an Excel installation now, because it’s a so-called Stick PC. It runs silently in the background with just two gigabytes of memory, but it is more than powerful enough to run our Expert Advisor and has the advantage that we don’t have to worry about getting any Windows updates installed in the middle of the night and then the computer might even be restarted. So if you had problems in the past to establish the advanced statistics of MyFxBook on a Linux PC, you can set it up on the FXBlue.Com website here via this live tab map. This is pretty straightforward for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 and allows you to collect such advanced statistics for your own account here in the future. This is very useful to improve your results in the long run. That’s it so far for today. Thanks for watching and see you in the next video. Not sure what to do?

The topic of this video is putting statistics on the Internet. I said a while ago that in a short time I would be offering a four-digit platinum group membership with a brand new trading system. Now, this is one of the early versions, and this is the account number for a Robo Forex Pro account. And FXBlue.Com is now one of my new habits. Because I couldn't publish the account statistics reliably with MyFxBook on a Linux machine. Because this MetaTrader runs on a device that runs Linux, and I've now made my own trading distribution based on Debian. In fact, I was also able to install FX Blue's Expert Advisor in MetaTrader on the Linux machine. Everything works here with Play on Linux, and the Expert Advisor is red right now because it is the weekend and there are no new trading signals. But as you can see, the last change was made at 10:26. You can also see the account information. Here, Fx Blue can do different things. One can monitor specific basic values. A chart can be used to show the whole thing. On the Euro-Dollar chart, we have made 279 trades so far. With a profit of 204.11 dollars in total. The total net comes to $89.16. It's interesting that we have 230 buy trades and 49 sell trades, even though the Euro/Dollar reached its lowest level since the turn of the century just this week. Here, you can look at all of these details in more depth if you want to. I think the way it's set up is good. The whole thing is repeated here as a print statement, or you can download it in Excel format. I can't install Excel on my Linux computer here because it's a so-called Stick PC. It uses only two gigabytes of memory and runs in the background. It is more than powerful enough to run our Expert Advisor, and we don't have to worry about Windows updates being installed in the middle of the night, which could cause the computer to restart. So, if you've had trouble setting up the advanced statistics of MyFxBook on a Linux PC in the past, you can do it through this live tab map on the FXBlue.Com website. This is easy to do with MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, and in the future you will be able to collect such advanced statistics for your own account here. This will help you get better results over time. So far, that's all for today. Thank you for watching! See you in the next video. Not sure what to do?

In diesem Video geht es um die Veröffentlichung von Statistiken im Internet. Ich hatte ja vor einiger Zeit angekündigt, dass ich in kurzer Zeit eine vierstellige Platin Gruppen Mitgliedschaft mit einem ganz neuen Handelssystem anbieten werde. Das hier ist jetzt eine der Vor-Versionen und wir haben ein Konto, welches bei Robo Forex Pro gehostet ist und diese Kontonummer hier hat. Und im Gegensatz zu meinen sonstigen Gewohnheiten bin ich jetzt bei FXBlue.Com. Da ich mit MyFxBook nicht in der Lage war, die Konto Statistiken auf einem Linux Rechner verlässlich zu publizieren. Denn dieser MetaTrader hier läuft auf einem Linux Gerät und ich habe mir jetzt eine eigene auf Debian aufgebaute Trading Distribution gebastelt. Tatsächlich habe ich es auch geschafft, den Expert Advisor von FX Blue auf der Linux Maschine im MetaTrader zu installieren. Das ganze läuft hier unter Play on Linux und derzeit ist der Expert Advisor rot, denn wir bekommen keine neuen Handelssignale, es ist Wochenende. Doch man kann hier schon sehen, das letzte Update war um 10 Uhr 26. Die Kontodaten sind auch ersichtlich. Fx Blue hat hier unterschiedliche Funktionalitäten. Man kann bestimmte Kernwerte überwachen. Das ganze lässt sich als Chart darstellen. Aktuell haben wir auf dem Euro US Dollar Chart 279 Trades gemacht. Mit einem Gesamt Profit von 204,11 $. Netto sind dabei 89,16 $ rausgekommen. Interessanterweise haben wir 230 Buy- und 49 Sell-Trades, obwohl der Euro US Dollar gerade diese Woche seinen niedrigsten Stand seit der Jahrtausendwende erreicht hat. Wer möchte, kann sich alle diese Details hier mal genauer anschauen. Ich finde, das ist ganz gut aufgebaut. Dann gibt es das Ganze hier noch mal als Print Statement oder man kann sich das hier in Excel herunterladen. Auf meiner Linux Maschine hier habe ich jetzt keine Excel-Installation, denn es handelt sich um einen sogenannten Stick PC. Der läuft mit gerade mal zwei Gigabyte Arbeitsspeicher still und leise im Hintergrund, ist aber für die Ausführung unseres Expert Advisors hier mehr als performant genug und hat den Vorteil, dass wir nicht befürchten müssen, mitten in der Nacht irgendwelche Windows Updates zwangsinstalliert zu bekommen und dann wird der Rechner vielleicht sogar noch neu gestartet. Wer also in der Vergangenheit Probleme damit hatte, die erweiterten Statistiken von MyFxBook auf einem Linux PC zu etablieren, der kann das auf der Webseite FXBlue.Com hier über diese Live Reiter Karte einrichten. Das geht für MetaTrader 4 und MetaTrader 5 ziemlich problemlos und ermöglicht Ihnen, für Ihr eigenes Konto zukünftig solche erweiterten Statistiken hier zu sammeln. Das ist sehr nützlich, um die Ergebnisse langfristig zu verbessern. Das war's soweit für heute. Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen und wir sehen uns im nächsten Video. Nicht sicher was Sie tun sollen?

To Trust or Antitrust The huge deal between Activision/Blizzard and Microsoft isn't set to be completed for another year but the FTC might be heading up the investigation Lina Khan (Lee.Na), the FTC chair, has promised to be tougher on tech companies, most notably with Nvidia's failed purchase of ARM The investigation could be focused on whether Microsoft, a console manufacturer, could absorb the entirety of the Activision/Blizzard catalog without hurting consumers and other companies Old Intel The only prototype of Intel's old Larrabee GPU, in the world, sold on Ebay France last week for $5234. Just when you think overpaying for a shiny, new 3090 was pricey, some “collector” goes and makes us feel a little better(?) about GPU prices. This is a discrete Intel GPU, but NOT the upcoming Arc cards that we've talked about before. The Larrabee was Intel's canceled project from 2009/2010 No technical specs on the card, but it did sport 32 cores at the time. 25 cores were supposedly enough to run Gears of War without AA. While it could've been a competitor back then, the power consumption was unacceptably high It's in RDNA AMD says RDNA 3 GPU's confirmed this year Alongside of the release of the Zen 4 in the second half of 2022 AMD's RDNA 3 Navi series chip is set to be a top competitor Updates to the Radeon Linux drivers show that the RDNA 3 could support 8k/60hz or 16k/60hz HDR through DisplayPort 2.0 Prices however will not be going down and consumers can expect to see a 20% increase in GPU's You Can't Cheat Me, but I Can Cheat You While Epic Games has stated that the Steam Deck is an “amazing move” by Valve, they are saying that Fortnite will not be supported on it. Basically, the Steam Deck is a handheld Linux PC and Fornite's EAC/BattleEye instances are not optimized to run on it. This is Epic admitting that they would not be able to combat cheating on many Deck configurations at this time, but a huge effort is underway to do so. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/saved-state-heros/support
The 16:9 PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY SCREENFEED – DIGITAL SIGNAGE CONTENT Going back roughly a decade, there were a couple of digital signage vendors talking up and marketing their capabilities for a technology called SMIL. That's short for Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language, but you probably knew that. OK, probably not. It's a bit like HTML, in that it is a programming language developed and supported by the same global entity that developed and continues to support and evolve HTML. If you don't know what HTML is, then this podcast edition is one you may want to pass on. It gets a little nerdy. SMIL, going back 10 years, was being touted as a next big thing for signage, but that didn't happen. However, there are companies using SMIL for managing digital signage networks - particularly companies who have some technical chops in-house and want something that's flexible and in their control. I stumbled recently on a little company in Hannover, Germany that has been squarely focused on SMIL. I had a good, albeit technical, chat with Niko Sagiadinos, one of the two partners in a firm called SmilControl. He walked me through what SMIL is all about, and the advantages he says the technology brings to digital signage. Subscribe to this podcast: iTunes * Google Play * RSS TRANSCRIPT Niko, thank you for joining me. Can you tell me what your company is all about and when it got started? Niko Sagiadinos: We started in 2011 with a content management system based on SMIL, and I was a developer years before and one day a friend of mine came up with the idea of 101 Signboard and told me that he desperately needs a content management system. So I had at that moment a content management system and I developed two models for this system, one to administer the playlist and one to administer the player, and so it began. I liked SMIL and the open nature of ideas at that time. I often used open source software and that's a concept I personally liked very much and so I stuck with SMIL and I saw that there were a lot of things possible with SMIL, and I liked it and I stayed with it. So there will be people listening who will already be going, what is he talking about? What is SMIL? Over here, it's sometimes called “smile.” I know it's an acronym for some sort of a language. Can you explain? Niko Sagiadinos: Yes. SMIL is an acronym for synchronized multimedia integration language. You can also call it the HTML for digital signage or multimedia presentations and SMIL makes it possible to create a multimedia presentation, interaction with time synchronization. That's where the first word synchronized comes from, and just like you can build websites with HTML, you can build presentations or digital signage presentations with SMIL. So I know that SMIL has been around for several years. I can remember a competitor of yours, SignageLive, talking about SMIL and working with ideas over in Taiwan, on their devices as well. They made a fair amount of noise about it, and then it just dropped off, and Jason and his team moved on to other stuff seemingly. What's the distinction between SMIL and HTML5? Niko Sagiadinos: SMIL is focused on presentations and the arrangement of media, while HTML is more focused on the arrangement of information and the implementation for the media, but SMIL can synchronize them. So you can position a media to play first, then second, then the third, then repeat, go to one and then continue. These are things which are not natively possible with HTML. You can do it with HTML, but you need to program with JavaScript, and that's easier to do with SMIL. SMIL also has some orders to control how a presentation runs and the presentation is not the thing for HTML. With websites, you can do interactions with the website but you cannot synchronize media sequentially, parallelly, or what happens when a special time comes, for example, at 5 o'clock, a video has to run an, and then another playlist starts. There are a lot more complicated things focused on presentation which are better solved by SMIL. So why has the digital signage industry migrated more to HTML5 and those kinds of web services and JavaScript as opposed to SMIL? Niko Sagiadinos: Now I have two theories. The first is it is easier for most to make a web design and it seems to be easier to make its own thing. This is one, it seems to be easier to make a website, but it has some disadvantages because it's a browser, you need a digital signage player. You can integrate a browser in a digital signage player, but you also need commands to administer this player and this is with the browser a little bit more complicated. The second thing is that every company wants to do his own thing. So you need to buy a software from company X and you need to buy a digital signage player software or hardware from company X, and this is what we call a window lock in. Every company wants to lock in their customers to use their product and so they have established this connection between an authoring system and the player system, and with SMIL, this connection can break up so you can use any player from any company or even my open source player, and you can write your own SMIL authoring software, if you like, and that's something companies don't want. They want to have it all together and sell a solution, and that's the reason, in my opinion, they stuck more on this product. In the early days, they tried to establish SMIL as low-cost signage also, but it was a mistake from my point of view, because SMIL can do much more than what they were focused on. They focused on the media player only and said, okay, this is only low cost signage, but you can run a SMIL software even under a mobile and computer, and this is a way to do more high cost signage for example, and there's another reason. Companies don't want to cannibalize their own product. For example, if you get a market leader and they have their own system, and now you come to SMIL, and they have a feature that has low cost signage, because if they said, okay, they can do the same things like our enterprise product with SMIL, they'll lose money. So your company is SMIL Control. What do you offer? I know that recently you introduced a free software player as well that works with SMIL. Niko Sagiadinos: We started in 2012 officially with only a content management system and most of our customers used players from IAdea but some of our customers wanted to create their own player. They were not satisfied with the player from IAdea for various reasons, because there was no company, they wanted to have more control, maybe they got some cheaper devices from Asian manufacturers and so they started to write their own SMIL software and that caused some problems. When three or four of our resellers started to write software, and put a lot of resources to develop this player, but they didn't focus on marketing and to make sales, and just focused on developing and in 2015-16, I decided, okay, we have now some success with our content management system, I tried to develop a player for those who want to create their own hardware. And the only target for me is to create an open source player, and this player is the Garlic Player, and now after five years, increasing companies are showing interest in this player to brand it under their name or to use it in their player and to make their own hardware around this player. That's the goal. To be clear, this is the software that plays out the media and there's a hardware player, which is not what we're talking about here? Niko Sagiadinos: At SMIL Control, our focus is only on software. You can take our software and use it as you want and this is the same with the . The Garlic Player is a piece of software that you can use on a Windows PC, on a Linux PC or an Android device. You can even name it on Android as X Player, and you can sell it at X Player by making a service out of this, and that's the goal. You can use our software, and the only consistent way to publish the software is to open source the player software so everybody can take part of it. I apologize, I'm not overly technical. I'm probably more technical than a lot of people, but I have my limits, sometimes severe. You were describing how IAdea, a great little company from Taiwan. I'm good friends with them, they had a SMIL based hardware player, and I think you mentioned that there are some other companies that also have SMIL based hardware players, but you're saying, your garlic player doesn't need to be on one of those devices, it could run on a Windows or Linux box, or even on an Android box and I think I read that it doesn't even need to be rooted, right? Niko Sagiadinos: You can use this on an Android together with a launcher, and the launcher is another software which works together with the player and the launcher does not need the device to be rooted. I know this is a little tech focused discussion, but yes, at the end of the day, there's only software running on hardware. Even with IAdea and the other players, there's just software which is running on the hardware, and the goal is that if someone wants to offer his own hardware, they can use our software. So if I'm an end-user or a solutions provider, I'm listening to this and getting the explanations around the advantages of SMIL over HTML5 and so on. I'm wondering if they're listening and thinking, “This sounds interesting, but I don't know anything about that particular programming language and how much of a curve do I have to get up,” or is if I'm an end-user, is it invisible and you don't need to know anything about it? Niko Sagiadinos: This is a valid point. Our products are not for end users. They are for resellers who have a technical background and know what they have to do. For example, there are a lot of companies in Germany who want to offer digital signage products and have tech support, but they don't have knowledge in digital signage and have possibly two opportunities. The first opportunity is to build everything from scratch by themselves, or to get someone who sells them a complete package, a full service but if you are between that, you will have your own hardware maybe, and you want to use your own hardware, but you don't have the software for it. You have knowledge of hardware and PC, but you don't have the software and you need software. That's our customer. The end users will be totally overwhelmed because they will run into problems because of the technical nature because you have to know a lot of things, but a company which has a technical background, like a solutions provider for PCs or someone else that has this technical background, and so they can work together. And would there be a lot that they need to learn or would it be pretty straightforward if they're already working with web technologies? Niko Sagiadinos: They won't have much to learn because the software is from us, and the only thing they have to learn is how to control the software. Of course we can offer bandwidth with this. We can offer that you can take it and use it or maybe you can do more things. If you need your own CMS, and you want to use only the player, we can help you, and the two documentation for SMIL and everything is open so there is no need for NDAs and things like that and we'll make the things to learn much easier, so you can learn, but you can only start to use it and install it. So you could be trained on it. It's just like any other piece of software, you just might need some training? Niko Sagiadinos: Exactly. We are computer nerds and we can show them how to use this software, how they can use these concepts. So if this is for our solutions providers/resellers, that sort of thing, I gather something about what you're saying is this gives them the ability to control it, maybe put their own front-end skin on it so it looks like their product, and as you say, you're the nerds, you guys are just sitting in the background. Niko Sagiadinos: It can be digital signage companies too, or companies who want to be digital signage companies, but they don't want to reinvent the wheel and they get used in other industries. We are something intermediate. You can take a full service provider, that's okay. But if you don't want this full service provider and you don't want to develop everything by yourself, you can use our products. So we are in the middle. Do you get pushback from companies who say, this sounds really interesting, but I don't know much about this language. I know I asked this already, but this makes me a little nervous in that it's unfamiliar to me. Why wouldn't I just go with something with one of the established products out there that's using more familiar technology? Niko Sagiadinos: Yes, of course, we get this feedback, but for me, it's a matter of time. There are customers for this because we get requests and these requests started coming in even a year before I started marketing. The last few years we got some big customers and we didn't even need to get out. So it was a secret. We had no real website and my partner and I know how to get customers and they have commissions for software, and so we started last year to make websites to do marketing. And in this year, the requests began to increase from other companies, and we have started to work with companies in Eastern Europe, for example, who use the Garlic Player and even join the programming and the coding. To go back to your question, there are companies that say, okay, that's too complicated for us. We want to use some other things. But our goal is to get these companies who want to do these complicated things, because they see more effort to do this, then using something from someone else, which they can't control. And it sounds like what you're saying as well as it could be complicated to people who aren't around programming, don't do coding or anything like that, they are end-users or whatever it may be. If you are a technical company by nature and have software developers within your staffing, this is not complicated. It's just another way of going at it? Niko Sagiadinos: Yes. For example, with a room booking software. If you want to have room booking software, you can develop your own room booking software and implement it transparently in our system via a widget which is a bit technical, but you are able to control and make use of what you have written with our infrastructure. So you can use a software like a media player, for example, and say, okay I will run a playlist from 10 to 3 o'clock, and from 3 o'clock, this room booking software will run on this or any other kind of software, and that's possible because we have these open technical features. So is it a bit like the kind of emerging idea of headless CMSs? Niko Sagiadinos: Yes, a little bit. You can compare it to a headless CMS a little bit. Because you're the control platform and distribution platform, but somebody could write a front end and use their existing room booking tools or whatever and it's going to flow through there? Niko Sagiadinos: Exactly, and another thing to say is that we are at the beginning at the moment. We started to get open, to get published and to imagine the SMIL player, the garlic player which I have written in 2016, the first three years did not even get any interest, because we are a small company in Germany, but we try to make our infrastructure step by step and build a SMIL based ecosystem and this ecosystem will grow. At first, we had only the content management system. Now we have a player, a launcher, even the proxy, and this ecosystem grows and grows. The next step we have to do is to deliver more information on how to use SMIL? There is a website from IAdea, but it hasn't been maintained for over six and seven years and so we have to do something to teach people. That's our goal. Not only we have to teach people how they can use these things for their businesses, and this is a way we have to go. At the moment, we can not give a solution for everything, but we are on a way and time by time we can offer more and more solutions, more and more information, and the product gets “round” so to say in German. I would imagine it's important to stress that this is not some little side project on GitHub or whatever. SMIL is something that was developed by the world wide web consortium, they are the same people who came up with HTML, right? Niko Sagiadinos: Yes, and it is used in industry. The HD-DVD started with SMIL, the MMS also uses SMIL, a new eBook standard also uses SMIL. That's not something we developed with a few students. This is an industry standard. It's no joke. It's global and I'm wondering why IAdea ten years ago didn't put more power to show the world that it's possible to make amazing playlists, produce amazing products with this language, and accept it as low-cost signage and went with that if you want to do real signage, you have to get other products and that's, for me, a reason why SMIL in the last 10 years did not get accepted. And is this a standard that's standing still or is it evolving just in the same way that HTML is evolving? Niko Sagiadinos: It's now standing still, it's not evolving at the moment. It's stuck on SMIL 3.0, which is from 2008, but I've contacted the inventors of SMIL in the Netherlands, some professors and I contacted them because we need to evolve. There are some features that are missing in SMIL, and we tried to wake them up. The standard is okay, but since 2008, nothing has happened like HTML, but on the other side there are many things you can do. HTML evolves because a lot of things have to come in, for example, 50 years ago HTML was not able to play video without plug-ins and things changed a lot. Internet Explorer was a market leader for much too long and had blocked the evolution of HTML for years and now with other browsers, Firefox, Chrome and Safari, there's much more moving in the web browser markets. And we are trying the same thing for SMIL. At the moment, it fulfills our needs more than we expected. My partner at first was skeptical too. But when I developed more and more features into the Garlic Player, he was stunned seeing what is possible and what only expensive digital signage systems are able to do, we can do with SMIL. So there is no reason to call it low cost signage. Okay. What are the business arguments around working with SMIL versus an HTML5 based platform or some other developed platforms. Are they going to be more reliable? Is it gonna be less expensive? Is it gonna last longer? Niko Sagiadinos: Well, you are asking a developer a business question. (Laughter) You gotta sell it down the stream. Niko Sagiadinos: Selling is more my partner's job, but I will try. The interesting thing is that HTML is okay for what it has to do. SMIL is another part and the web browser is not a digital signage player so as we say in German, we are comparing an apple with a pear and those are two different things. You can do digital signage with HTML, but you can even ride a bicycle to Tokyo. That's possible too. I think SMIL is much more of a fit for the digital signage age than HTML. The business side is that with SMIL, you don't have any dependencies and HTML won't fulfill the needs of digital signage. Your company's based in Hanover, Germany, and it's privately held, I assume? You guys own it. You're not owned by a larger company or a venture capital company? Niko Sagiadinos: We are a bootstrapped company, we started as two people and now we are a kind of German limited, GmbH, because we want to expand next year. How many people work for SMIL Control? Niko Sagiadinos: At the moment, we are two people. My business partner and I so yes, we are a little company, but we also use external developer, and last time I started to work with Bulgarian developers and Greek developers, and because I'm a digital nomad, I'm commuting between Germany and Greece, because I like the weather in Greece much more and the food. You don't like Hanover or Northern Germany in February? Niko Sagiadinos: No, it's extremely cold and to be honest, November and December are the ugliest months because in Germany, everything is gray here and cold and Greece is so much better. If somebody wants to find out more about your company, where would they find you online now that you have a website? Niko Sagiadinos: Yes, we have a website, smil-control.com. But the company name is Camel case. All right, that was terrific. Thank you for spending some time with me and explaining what SMIL is all about. Niko Sagiadinos: Thank you for allowing me. I hope it was understandable. I know I was a little nervous and that's complicated because I'm not a salesman or a businessman. We are technically focused and I'm very stuck on this technical thing and I have grown up in 30 years of technology. So maybe for one or the other, it was a little bit hard. Sorry! Oh, that's okay. There's lots of technical people who will be intrigued by this and want to know more, so I'm sure it'll work out. Thanks again. Niko Sagiadinos: Thank you very much, Dave.

In diesem Video möchte ich einmal über eine Frage sprechen, die mir immer wieder mal gestellt wird. Und zwar ist das die Frage: auf welcher Hardware kann man Metatrader vier oder fünf denn betreiben? Das hier ist gerade die neue Version vom CrowdAlgo Trading System. Das habe ich am 27.01.2001 neu erstellt. Und nächste Woche möchte ich damit starten, ein Live Experiment mit einem täglichen Video für den Februar zu starten. Und dafür brauche ich natürlich eine entsprechende Hardware. Darum habe ich mir für das neue Projekt einen Mini-PC gekauft. Der ist etwas größer als eine Zigarettenschachtel, ist bereits mit Windows 10 vorinstalliert und man kann den so um die hundert Euro bei Amazon oder anderen Online-Anbietern erwerben. Der Vorteil von so einem Mini-PC ist, dass er nicht viel Platz wegnimmt. Ich habe mal einen Kugelschreiber danebengelegt, dann kann man in etwa die Größe erkennen. Für meine tägliche Arbeit nutze ich Linux. Und auf Linux habe ich eine Software installiert, die heißt Virtual Box. Es handelt sich dabei um eine sogenannte Virtualisierungssoftware. Die ist im Internet kostenlos erhältlich und damit kann man Windows in einem Fenster auf einer Linux Maschine laufen lassen. Ich nutze zum Beispiel gerade das Gastsystem mit Windows 10, um dieses Video hier auf meinem Linux PC aufzunehmen. Und mit Virtual Box lassen sich auch weitere Betriebssysteme in mehreren Fenstern gleichzeitig betreiben. Wer nicht zur Virtualisierung greifen will, der kann über eine Software namens VNC auch auf andere Geräte zugreifen und diese fernsteuern. Ich habe da eine Reihe von Geräten im Einsatz. Das hier ist so ein Gerät. Da läuft gerade die MQL4 Version vom CrowdAlgo Trading System. Tagesaktuell sind wir bei einem Bruttoprofit von 2.336 Dollar. Mit dieser Variante habe ich ein tägliches Video im Januar für YouTube erstellt. Dieses Gerät hier hat 2 GB Arbeitsspeicher und läuft auf einem 32 Bit System. Und man kann jetzt hier über VNC auch andere Rechner auswählen. Das hier zum Beispiel ist noch ein Windows 8. Und dieser Rechner läuft ebenfalls mit 2 GB. Bei diesen beiden Varianten handelte es sich um sogenannte Compute Sticks. Ein Compute Stick ist in etwa so groß wie ein USB-Stick, vielleicht ein bisschen größer, hat einen HDMI Ausgang. Damit lässt er sich an jedem HDMI fähigen Bildschirm oder Fernseher betreiben. Und der Vorteil ist natürlich, dass aufgrund des geringen Platzbedarfes so ein Rechner quasi überall untergebracht werden kann. Solche Compute Sticks gibt es bei Online-Händlern für ungefähr hundert Euro zu kaufen. Die etwas coolere, aber auch deutlich teurere Variante sind sogenannte Mini Notebooks. Vielleicht kennen Sie diesen Formfaktor noch aus der Zeit, als man mit Pocket PCs gearbeitet hat. Die waren allerdings dann mit abgespeckten Windows CE oder Symbian Betriebssystemen bestückt. Diese beiden Rechner hier haben jeweils 8 GB Arbeitsspeicher. Und damit lässt sich der Metatrader schon sehr komfortabel betreiben. Wem diese Variation zu teuer ist, der kann auch zu einem sogenannten Netbook greifen. Ich habe hier ein Netbook, das ist locker zehn Jahre alt mit 2 GB Arbeitsspeicher ausgestattet. Und das läuft jetzt hier mit MX Linux. Damit kann man mit einer Software die Wine oder Play on Linux heißt, den Metatrader vier ebenfalls betreiben. Das funktioniert selbst mit diesem alten (unv. #00:04:09-1#) Prozessor erstaunlich performant. Neben den hier vorgestellten Varianten gibt es natürlich auch noch die Desktop oder die Notebook Variante. Ich habe davon alles hier im Einsatz und nutze es für unterschiedliche Zwecke. Mein Betriebssystem ist Linux und Windows läuft bei mir nur noch als Gastsystem in einer virtuellen Maschine. Und wenn man unterwegs mal schnell einen Blick auf das Konto werfen will, dann gibt es sogar noch eine mobile Version. Die lässt sich für Android und soweit ich weiß, auch für Apple Geräte herunterladen. Damit kann man sehen, was auf dem Konto gerade passiert.
This week on Episode 469 of Priority One --- We ‘Trek Out' what's coming to Comic-Con@Home, and our thoughts on the Lower Decks Trailer! In Star Trek gaming, we share with you which game developers are taking actions for a more equitable future, and we relieve several old favorites - like Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. Sir Patrick Stewart Turns 80 As far as Birthday's go, 80 is an incredible milestone -- And when you're Sir Patrick Stewart, everyone wants to recognize your achievements! On June 13th, Sir Patrick celebrated his 80th Birthday and friends, fans, and news outlets did their very best to honor the veteran actor. The Guardian, for instance, interviewed several of SirtPatStew's friends and colleagues to share some of their most memorable moments with the actor. For instance, David Tennant had this to say, "He's fit as a fiddle and so strapping! How many 80-year-olds are the lead in their own science fiction series? There's nothing of the 'old man' about him. He's very virile – I'm sure he wouldn't mind me saying that!" Sir Ian McKellen told The Guardian, "Eighty is, of course, a milestone but he has had so many remarkable achievements in his careering journey from Huddersfield, to Stratford, the West End, Hollywood, to Broadway and beyond, I'm sure there will be no silly talk about retirement." And - of course - many of his co-stars from TNG joined him for a celebration and shared a picture of them together. Fortunately, they were all wearing their masks and maintaining social distancing! Happy Birthday, Sir Patrick! https://twitter.com/berman_rick/status/1282867166321098752?s=21 Robert Sallin & a new Trek Film On July 9th, Den Of Geek's Don Kaye spoke with Robert Sallin -- producer on the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. According to Kaye, during an interview about the film, Sallin hinted that he's currently in the process of developing a script for a new Star Trek Film. I don't have it completely written, but I have a lot of it written. I have a concept for another Star Trek feature that I've had discussions with Paramount about — at least on the phone. This one I guarantee you is unlike anything that has been done in Star Trek, and it will be part of the canon, but they (the studio) don't want to talk about it until they see what Noah Hawley does. -Robert Sallin via Den of Geek Comic-Con@Home w/ Star Trek The pandemic may have put a damper on most of our plans this year --- including the cancellation or rescheduling or re-imagining of convention events. San Diego Comic Con for instance, has shifted their presentations to an online format and Star Trek will be participating in several ways. Generally, the event takes place Wednesday July 22 - Sunday, July 26. However, you don't have to stay glued to your computer all three days for the Star Trek Studded events. Thursday, July 23 @ 10AM PT, The Star Trek Universe Virtual Panel will feature discussions with Executive Producers Alex Kurtzman & Heather Kadin -- Followed by a virtual table read of Star Trek Discovery's episode “Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2” with many of the episode's featured actors. Later, Mike McMahan takes the virtual stage to discuss the new animated comedy series, “Star Trek: Lower Decks.” McMahan will be joined by several of the voice actors from the series including Tawny Newsom, Jack Quaid and more. It all wraps with a “Star Trek: Picard” panel that includes Sir Patrick Steward himself along with fan favorites like Jonathan Frakes, Jonathan Del Arco, Marina Sirtis, and Jeri Ryan -- among many of the other key actors from the series. During an Instagram Livestream, Mary Chieffo expressed enthusiasm over the prospect of returning as L'Rell in the new Pike Series: “Strange New Worlds” ---- It would be nice to see a discussion about what the world will look like in this series set in the same universe as Star Trek Discovery. Who else could reprise their roles? https://www.instagram.com/tv/CCeW1mtJLdT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Lower Decks - Trailer If you were up early and perusing social media on Sunday, July 12th, your feed may have been flooded with tweets about a leaked trailer for the new animated series, “Star Trek: Lower Decks.” But, before long, Star Trek's official websites and social media channels went ahead and officially released it to the masses. The 2-minute and 15 second video takes us on a wild ride aboard the USS Cerritos and provides a sneak peak of the show's overall tone. We also get a solid peak into the types of characters we'll be following like Jack Quaid's Ensign Boimler and Tawny Newsome's Ensign Mariner. https://youtu.be/V3RkBKedKWw Grant Imahara Before we move on, Captains - we need to take a moment and remember the life of Grant Imahara - who passed away suddenly on June 13th. Imahara - who is best known for his role on Mythbusters and - later, portrayed Hikaru Sulu in Star Trek: Continues. He was only 49 years old. Silence Continues We're still holding our coverage of updates from Star Trek Online but, thought it prudent to share with you a list of other game developers who have stepped up to support social justice, equality, and the Black Lives Matter Movement. Blizzard has donated to several organizations Bungie has designed items to sell with all the proceeds going towards Equal Justice Initiative Niantic (Pokemon Go) is donating $5Mil to "Black gaming and AR creators that can live on the Niantic platform" and "US nonprofit organizations that are helping local communities rebuild." EA is donating $1Million to the Equal Justice Initiative, the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, and other organizations Ubisoft is making a $100,000 donation to the NAACP This is but a short list of game developers and companies who have taken measurable actions to support Social Justice and Equality. Gamespot has a very extensive list --- links will be in the shownotes. Star Trek Timelines Event: “Lightbringers” by Thomas Reynolds After last week's Flashback to Dozaria, Star Trek Timelines returns to the future...present...whatever, with “Lightbringers”. The Galaxy-type Event runs from this Thursday, July 16th, to Monday July 20th for the Romulan Star Empire, Federation, and Ferengi Traditionalist factions, with 5-star Mother L'Rell as the Ranked Reward crewmember. Event crew granting high bonuses for “Lightbringers” include last week's Ranked Reward 5-star Kamin, the new 4-star Traveler Wesley, and the returning 4-star Commander Tomalak. Other Picard and Wesley variants will grant small bonuses. Star Trek Timelines' Offer Wall Comes Tumbling Down on iOS by Thomas Reynolds https://stevivor.com/news/potential-star-trek-timelines-privacy-issue-sees-resources-shut-protest/ Well, that didn't take long. On July 10th Star Trek Timelines developer Wicked Realms announced it was removing its controversial Offer Wall feature from the iOS app indefinitely. Ostensibly this is because “due to Apple guidelines the offers that can be presented on iOS are too limited to be of interest.” Third-party developers taking issue with Apple's App Store constraints is certainly nothing new, and it's significant that the Wall's alive and well on the game's Android version. However, recent player base outcry (and fan resource website outages) protesting perceived privacy threats almost certainly influenced the decision. Wicked Realms acknowledged “ongoing concerns regarding the Offer Wall in general” and their advertising partner ironSource's business practices in particular. The Last Outpost Provides Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force Holomatch For Download by Shane Hoover https://twitter.com/Last_Outpost/status/1281447523933093889 Star Trek Voyager premiered twenty five years ago, in 1995. Five years after that, the series debuted its first video game, “Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force”. And now, 20 years later, a community of Trek gamers called The Last Outpost has rereleased the multiplayer platform of “Elite Force” for free download. Called “Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force Holomatch”, the game is available for Windows and Linux PC's. In a tweet posted July 9th, The Last Outpost announced, /QUOTE/ 2020 is a milestone year. The Last Outpost is 10 years old today, Raven Software celebrated 30 years, and Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force turns 20 this September. Eight years ago, Raven and Viacom CBS graciously gave us permission to distribute the game's code and assets. We at The Last Outpost are eternally grateful to Raven and ViacomCBS for their generosity. In honor of our 10th anniversary, we pass this gift along to the thousands of Star Trek fans who grew up playing this game and loving it as much as we do. /ENDQUOTE/ A link to the download, and to The Last Outpost's website can be found in our show notes.

In der aktuellen Uplink-Folge diskutieren wir, wie man Fakes im Netz erkennt, was der AMD Ryzen 9 3950X taugt und wie Linux auf unseren optimalen PCs läuft. ///////////////////////////// Im Netz wird gelogen, dass sich die Balken biegen: Nicht nur in Form von Desinformations-Artikeln, sondern auch mit Bild- und Videofälschungen. Jo Bager erklärt, wie man solche Fakes erkennen und im Zweifel überprüfen kann. Dabei muss man nicht auf langwierige technische Analysen wie beispielweise das Abgleichen von Kamerasensor-Rauschmustern zurückgreifen, sondern kann zuerst auch ganz einfache Dinge ausprobieren. Die neue 16-Kern-CPU AMD Ryzen 9 3950X auf Herz und Nieren getestet hat Christian Hirsch. In der Uplink-Diskussion berichtet er, was der teure AMD-Prozessor besser kann als seine aktuellen Intel-Mitbewerber. Und vor allem: Ob der happige Preis von 820 Euro gerechtfertigt ist. Außerdem erklärt er, welche Anwendungen von 16 Kernen profitieren und welche eher nicht. (Spoiler: Wer vor allem spielen will, braucht keine 16 Kerne.) Der c't-Linux-Experte Thorsten Leemhuis hat Linux installiert -- und zwar auf den aktuellen Versionen des von c't jährlich konzipierten optimalen PC. Bei den Linux-Tests hat er interessante Erkenntnisse gewonnen, zum Beispiel dass bei aktuellen Nvidia-RTX-Grafikkarten ein meist gar nicht genutzter USB-C-Controller Probleme bereitet. Außerdem genehmigen sich einige der Konfigurationen unter Linux zu viel Strom oder produzieren Fehler mit NVMe-SSDs -- glücklicherweise keine, die zu Datenverlust führen. Mit dabei: Jo Bager, Christian Hirsch, Thorsten Leemhuis, Jan-Keno Janssen Hintergrund zur am Ende der Folge erwähnten Demonstration: https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/niedersachsen/hannover_weser-leinegebiet/Verwaltungsgericht-Hannover-erlaubt-NPD-Demo,npddemo146.html Die c't 25/2019 gibt's am Kiosk, im Browser und in der c't-App für iOS und Android.
