Installation en mode ferme
4 février 2011, parLe mode ferme permet d’héberger plusieurs sites de type MediaSPIP en n’installant qu’une seule fois son noyau fonctionnel.
C’est la méthode que nous utilisons sur cette même plateforme.
L’utilisation en mode ferme nécessite de connaïtre un peu le mécanisme de SPIP contrairement à la version standalone qui ne nécessite pas réellement de connaissances spécifique puisque l’espace privé habituel de SPIP n’est plus utilisé.
Dans un premier temps, vous devez avoir installé les mêmes fichiers que l’installation (...) -
Organiser par catégorie
17 mai 2013, parDans MédiaSPIP, une rubrique a 2 noms : catégorie et rubrique.
Les différents documents stockés dans MédiaSPIP peuvent être rangés dans différentes catégories. On peut créer une catégorie en cliquant sur "publier une catégorie" dans le menu publier en haut à droite ( après authentification ). Une catégorie peut être rangée dans une autre catégorie aussi ce qui fait qu’on peut construire une arborescence de catégories.
Lors de la publication prochaine d’un document, la nouvelle catégorie créée sera proposée (...) -
Récupération d’informations sur le site maître à l’installation d’une instance
26 novembre 2010, parUtilité
Sur le site principal, une instance de mutualisation est définie par plusieurs choses : Les données dans la table spip_mutus ; Son logo ; Son auteur principal (id_admin dans la table spip_mutus correspondant à un id_auteur de la table spip_auteurs)qui sera le seul à pouvoir créer définitivement l’instance de mutualisation ;
Il peut donc être tout à fait judicieux de vouloir récupérer certaines de ces informations afin de compléter l’installation d’une instance pour, par exemple : récupérer le (...)

How to reduce size of moov atom of H.264 movies to improve streaming start for smartphones ?
14 avril 2013, par alebedevWe run a video service streaming movies to smartphones (iOS&Android).
We are encoding in H.264+AAC and using the mp4 container.
We have a problem that long movies (60 minutes+) take a very long time to
start playing and have tracked this down to the large size of moov
atom for these movies.
For 110 minute movies the atom is as large as 4.2Mb which obviously takes a long
time to download to a smart-phone over 3G !Is there anyway to make the moov atom smaller ? We can reduce it bit
by dropping the audio sampling rate, but obviously anything below 22kHz
would not really be acceptable.We are using ffmpeg as the encoder, and MP4Box to move the metadata
to the front of the file. Is there any way to get it to make
a smaller moov ? Any other encoders out there which make a smaller moov ?For example...
Big size (280 Mb, 1h 49min) streamable mp4 (h.264, AAC) file have a big header size (4.2 Mb). File was encoded by two pass ffmpeg and MP4Box for replacing metadata into beginning of the file :

-
How reduce size of movie header ?
-
How reduce size of

Approaches To Modifying Game Resource Files
16 août 2016, par Multimedia Mike — Game HackingI have been assisting The Translator in the translation of another mid-1990s adventure game. This one isn’t quite as multimedia-heavy as the last title, and the challenges are a bit different. I wanted to compose this post in order to describe my thought process and mental model in approaching this problem. Hopefully, this will help some others understand my approach since what I’m doing here often appears as magic to some of my correspondents.
High Level Model
At the highest level, it is valuable to understand the code and the data at play. The code is the game’s engine and the data refers to the collection of resources that comprise the game’s graphics, sound, text, and other assets.
Simplistic high-level game engine model
Ideally, we want to change the data in such a way that the original game engine adopts it as its own because it has the same format as the original data. It is very undesirable to have to modify the binary engine executable in any way.
Modifying The Game Data Directly
How to modify the data ? If we modify the text strings for the sake of language translation, one approach might be to search for strings within the game data files and change them directly. This model assumes that the text strings are stored in a plain, uncompressed format. Some games might store these strings in a text format which can be easily edited with any text editor. Other games will store them as binary data.
In the latter situation, a game hacker can scan through data files with utilities like Unix ‘strings’ to find the resources with the desired strings. Then, use a hex editor to edit the strings directly. For example, change “Original String”…
0098F800 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 4F 72 69 67 69 6E 61 6C 20 .......Original 0098F810 53 74 72 69 6E 67 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 String..........
…to “Short String” and pad the difference in string lengths using spaces (0x20) :
0098F800 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 53 68 6F 72 74 20 53 74 72 .......Short Str 0098F810 69 6E 67 20 20 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ing ..........
This has some obvious problems. First, translated strings need to be of equal our smaller length compared to the original. What if we want to encode “Much Longer String” ?
0098F800 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 4D 75 63 68 20 4C 6F 6E 67 .......Much Long 0098F810 65 72 20 53 74 72 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 er Str..........
It won’t fit. The second problem pertains to character set limitations. If the font in use was only designed for ASCII, it’s going to be inadequate for expressing nearly any other language.
So a better approach is needed.
Understanding The Data Structures
An alternative to the approach outlined above is to understand the game’s resources so they can be modified at a deeper level. Here’s a model to motivate this investigation :
Model of the game resource archive format
This is a very common layout for such formats : there is a file header, a sequence of resource blocks, and a trailing index which describes the locations and types of the foregoing blocks.
What use is understanding the data structures ? In doing so, it becomes possible to write new utilities that disassemble the data into individual pieces, modify the necessary pieces, and then reassemble them into a form that the original game engine likes.
It’s important to take a careful, experimental approach to this since mistakes can be ruthlessly difficult to debug (unless you relish the thought of debugging the control flow through an opaque DOS executable). Thus, the very first goal in all of this is to create a program that can disassemble and reassemble the resource, thus creating an identical resource file. This diagram illustrates this complex initial process :
Rewriting the game resource file
So, yeah, this is one of the most complicated “copy file” operations that I can possibly code. But it forms an important basis, since the next step is to carefully replace one piece at a time.
Modifying a specific game resource
This diagram shows a simplistic model of a resource block that contains a series of message strings. The header contains pointers to each of the strings within the block. Instead of copying this particular resource block directly to the new file, a proposed modification utility will intercept it and rewrite the entire thing, writing new strings of arbitrary length and creating an adjusted header which will correctly point to the start of each new string. Thus, translated strings can be longer than the original strings.
Further Work
Exploiting this same approach, we can intercept and modify other game resources including fonts, images, and anything else that might need to be translated. I will explore specific examples in a later blog post.Followup

Could not find tag for codec h264 in stream #0 (mp4)
18 août 2019, par TabsNotSpacesI’ve been using the sickbeard_mp4_converter for a while to convert video files to mp4 by generating a script for ffmpeg. I’m not sure what I changed, but the ffmpeg script it generates no longer works and I’m having trouble debugging it. Can anyone tell from my log what the issue is ? Yes, its supposed to be an mp4 to an mp4, which is typically fine.
I’m at the point where I’m using an mp4 that worked with the same autogenerated script yesterday but it no longer is. I remember updating ffmpeg but downgrading did not resolve the issue, though I may have not downgraded enough.
