• Building FFMPEG library for iOS5.1 ARMv7 Processor

  26 octobre 2012, par Jimmy

  I cleaned up my question a little bit, when I wrote it the first time I was flustered. Now I can be more clear after taking a small break.

  I'm trying to use the FFMPEG library in an XCode 4.5.1 project. And I'm trying to build it for ARMv7. What I'm looking for is the exact process, and some explanation. I understand that this is not a well documented problem. But I know that other pople have had the same problem as me.

  What I have been able to do.

  I have been able to build the library for xCode. here Is what I have been able to do step by step.

  1) I have been able to clone ffmpeg. For beginners this will get you started by creating a directory with the ffmpeg source. (Kudos to the guys who wrote it)

  git clone git ://source.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git ffmpeg

  2) I have been able to write a config file that doesn't have any errors. We will go back to this part later. This is the command I attach to ./configure

  ./configure
  —disable-doc
  —disable-ffmpeg
  —disable-ffplay
  —disable-ffserver
  —enable-cross-compile
  —arch=arm
  —target-os=darwin
  —cc=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/llvm-gcc-4.2/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2

  —as='gas-preprocessor/gas-preprocessor.pl /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/llvm-gcc-4.2/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2'

  —sysroot=/applications/xcode.app/contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.0.sdk

  —cpu=cortex-a8
  —extra-ldflags='-arch=armv7 -isysroot /applications/xcode.app/contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS6.0.sdk'
  —enable-pic —disable-bzlib —disable-gpl —disable-shared —enable-static —disable-mmx —disable-debug —disable-neon —extra-cflags='-pipe -Os -gdwarf-2 -isysroot /applications/xcode.app/contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk
  -m$thumb_opt :-no-thumb -mthumb-interwork'

  These are some things to note.

  • I had to download ( https://github.com/yuvi/gas-preprocessor ) copy the file gas-preprocessor.pl at /usr/local/bin. Set permissions to read write (777)
  • Make sure I'm using the right GCC compiler : /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/usr/llvm-gcc-4.2/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2
  • Make sure I'm using the right SDK : /applications/xcode.app/contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS5.1.sdk
  • —extra-cflags="-arch armv7" causes : error : unrecognized command line option “-arch”

  Here in lies the problem.

  When I include the library and the declaration. Everything works fine ! (You will want to make sure your library paths in xcode are properly written if it can't find the library. There are plenty of people with this problem, stackover flow has a wealth of knowledge here)

  But when I started to write the encoder. I received this warning, and countless errors.

  ignoring file /Users/Jimmy/Development/source.ffmpeg/Library/libavutil.a, file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (armv7s) : /Users/Jimmy/Development/source.ffmpeg/Library/libavutil.a

  That means that I didn't build for ARMv7 and that -arch configuration I took out is actually essential.

  What I'm looking for is someone whose done it before, to walk all of us through the process of building FFMPEG for iOS5.1 and ARMv7 and the majority of things to look out for. If no one comes forth, in time I'll answer my own question and hopefully help out others who are struggling too.

• Cutting multiple videos with x amount of time from the end (ffmpeg ?)

  25 octobre 2020, par Jack Fitzpatrick

  I have no history with ffmpeg, but I am assuming this would be the right tool for the job. I am trying to cut a folder of videos with different lengths. I want to cut them all to be 12 seconds from the end. That is : on a 30 second video I would be left with 00:18 - 00:30. 00:00-00:17 would be deleted.

  


  I am on mac OS Mojave. It seems that ffmpeg is the right tool for the job to batch edit these videos. Can someone walk me through this ? I have some basic understanding but will need the code/script explained so that I can apply it to my own use. Thank you very much.

  


• What is PII ? Your introduction to personally identifiable information

  15 janvier 2020, par Joselyn Khor — Analytics Tips, Privacy, Security
  Most websites you visit collect information about you via tools like Google Analytics and Matomo – sometimes collecting personally identifiable information (PII).

  When it comes to PII, people are becoming more concerned about data privacy. Identifiable information can be used for illegal purposes like identity theft and fraud. 

  So how can you protect yourself as an innocent internet browser ? In the case of website owners – how do you protect users and your company from falling prey to privacy breaches ?

  

  As one of the most trusted analytics companies, we feel our readers would benefit from being as informed as possible about data privacy issues and PII. Learn what it means, and what you can do to keep yours or others’ information safe.

  Table of Contents

  What does PII stand for ?

  PII acronym

  PII is an acronym for personally identifiable information.

  PII definition

  Personally identifiable information (PII) is a term used predominantly in the United States.

  The appendix of OMB M-10-23 (Guidance for Agency Use of Third-Party Website and Applications) gives this definition for PII :

  “The term ‘personally identifiable information’ refers to information which can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, such as their name, social security number, biometric records, etc. alone, or when combined with other personal or identifying information which is linked or linkable to a specific individual, such as date and place of birth, mother’s maiden name, etc.”

  What can be considered personally identifiable information (PII) ? Some PII examples :

  • Full name/usernames
  • Home address/mailing address
  • Email address
  • Credit card numbers
  • Date of birth
  • Phone numbers
  • Login details

  • Precise locations
  • Account numbers
  • Passwords
  • Security codes (including biometric records)
  • Personal identification numbers
  • Driver license number
  • Get a more comprehensive list here

  What’s non-PII ?

  Anonymous information, or information that can’t be traced back to an individual, can be considered non-PII.

  Who is affected by the exploitation of PII ?

  Anyone can be affected by the exploitation of personal data, where you have identity theft, account fraud and account takeovers. When websites resort to illegally selling or sharing your data and compromising your privacy, the fear is falling victim to such fraudulent activity. 

  PII can also be an issue when employees have access to the database and the data is not encrypted. For example, anyone working in a bank can access your accounts ; anyone working at Facebook may be able to read your messages. This shows how privacy breaches can easily happen when employees have access to PII.

  Website owner’s responsibility for data privacy (PII and analytics)

  To respect your website visitor’s privacy, best practice is to avoid collecting PII whenever possible. If you work in an industry which requires people to disclose personal information (e.g. healthcare, security industries, public sector), then you must ensure this data is collected and handled securely. 

  

  The US National Institute of Standards and Technology states : “The likelihood of harm caused by a breach involving PII is greatly reduced if an organisation minimises the amount of PII it uses, collects, and stores. For example, an organisation should only request PII in a new form if the PII is absolutely necessary.” 

  How you’re held accountable remains up to the privacy laws of the country you’re doing business in. Make sure you are fully aware of the privacy and data protection laws that relate specifically to you. 

  To reduce the risk of privacy breaches, try collecting as little PII as you can ; purging it as soon as you can ; and making sure your IT security is updated and protected against security threats. 

  If you’re using data collection tools like web analytics, data may be tracked through features like User ID, custom variables, and custom dimensions. Sometimes they are also harder to identify when they are present, for example, in page URLs, page titles, or referrers URLs. So make sure you’re optimising your web analytics tools’ settings to ensure you’re asking your users for consent and respecting users’ privacy.

  If you’re using a GDPR compliant tool like Matomo, learn how you can stop processing such personal data

  PII, GDPR and businesses in the US/EU

  Because PII is broad, you may run into confusion when considering PII and GDPR (which applies in the EU). The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides more safeguards for user privacy.

  GDPR grants people in the EU more rights concerning their “personal data” (more on PII vs personal data below). In the EU the GDPR restricts the collection and processing of personal data. The repercussions are severe penalties and fines for privacy infringements. Businesses are required to handle this personal data carefully. You can be fined up to 4% of their yearly revenue for data breaches or non-compliance. 

  

  Although there isn’t an overarching data protection law in the US, there are hundreds of laws on both the federal and state levels to protect the personal data of US residents. US Congress has also enacted industry-specific statutes related to data privacy, and the state of California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act. 

  To be on the safe side, if you are using analytics, follow matters relating to “personal data” in the GDPR. It’s all-encompassing when it comes to protecting user privacy. GDPR rules still apply whenever an EU citizen visits any non EU site (that processes personal data).

  Personally identifiable information (PII) vs personal data

  PII and “personal data” aren’t used interchangeably. All personal data can be PII, but not all PII can be defined as personal data.

  The definition of “personal data” according to the GDPR :

  

  This means “personal data” encompasses a greater number of identifiers which include the online sphere. Examples include : IP addresses and URL names. As well as seemingly “innocent” data like height, job position, company etc. 

  What’s considered personal data depends on the context. If a piece of information can be combined with others to establish someone’s identity then that can be considered personal data. 

  Under GDPR, when processing personal data, you need explicit consent. You need to ensure you’re compliant according to GDPR definitions of “personal data” not just what’s considered “PII”.

  How Matomo deals with PII and personal data

  Although Matomo Analytics is a web analytics software that tracks user activity on your website, we take privacy and PII very seriously – on both our Cloud and On-Premise offerings.
