Links for open source DRMs

Hi Guys
I am woriking on a project for that i require to manage the web users acount and theire resources,rights etc. the resources are mainly mp3,mp43 empeg4 vedio files, so i need to manage these user resources by encripting the files and associating rights and permision,restrictions to these vedio files, as i dont have much time to build these things from scratch, so i planned to go for some open source DRM(Digital Rights Managment) Servers, so guys if any one have used such DRM or know about avaliabilty on net of such DRMs please send the link, my id is [email protected], any help is appreciated.
thanks in advance

Have you used pacman yet? Ever?
Do read about the different types of dependencies mentioned in the previous post - but more globally, read about pacman: it handles dependency resolution just fine. If you try to install a package that depends on other packages, pacman will install the dependencies as well.

Good site for Video Editing tools (open source)

I'm a recent convert to Mac, and I'm having a hard time finding comparable tools to what is available via open source on the Windows side. Specifially in the H.264 arena. There are a multitude of open source encoding tools for Windows. I'm sure there have to be some for Mac. Are there any good sites that list these? I'm tried versiontracker and The Mac Orchard, but I'm hoping for something more specific like VideoHelp.com
Any suggestions? I'm looking for encoding software that can do inverse telecine, import DivX/Xvid/DV, Trim video (to remove letterboxing), and encode to H.264.
Thanks!

Open source image, audio, video hosting - MediaCrush

Hey guys! I've been building MediaCrush over the past few months, with my friend (and fellow Arch user) Jose Diez, and several other open-source contributors. It hosts video, audio, images, vectors - over 500 different file formats are supported. You can upload almost anything (like a mp3, flac, mp4, webm, avi, bmp, svg, cr3...) and it'll be converted (losslessly where possible) to browser-friendly formats. You get a link to share, like this: https://mediacru.sh/Fx73lJhU0_Id
The site is completely open source. You can run your own clone of MediaCrush locally with the help of the detailed instructions in the README. Pull requests are welcome, too, so you can help make it better if you please. It's written in Python and it's built on the shoulders of giants like ImageMagick and ffmpeg. Our whole shop is Arch - our dev machines are Arch, and all of the production servers (web servers, processing servers, and storage servers) are running Arch.
✓ Share images, audio, video, vectors
✓ Super fast hosting
✓ Hotlinking/embedding
✓ Create albums of media
✓ Keep track of files you've uploaded (optional)
✓ Privacy-first data policies (link)
✓ Excellent public API (link)
✓ Entirely open source
✓ HTTPS only
✓ Ad-free
You can upload files right away at https://mediacru.sh, or set up your own instance to host files on. Feel free to hop into the IRC channel for a chat, too: #mediacrush on irc.freenode.net. There are a couple of other cool things that you might like. For example, MediaCrush-cli lets you upload files from the comfort of your favorite shell.
$ mediacrush --album *.jpg # example usage
You can find it in the AUR as mediacrush-cli. There are also browser extensions that make it easy to rehost images around the web: Firefox, Chromium (both are open source, of course 1, 2). I also have a little script that uploads screenshots via scrot straight to MediaCrush.
Here are some example URLs to play with: Video, or audio, or a GIF (we convert those to video, makes them load faster), or how about an album?
Let me know what you think! I hope you like it.

practice, but of course it totally breaks on pixel art.
You're absolutely right. The reason we decided to convert GIF to video is because the majority of GIFs are sourced from video, and GIF is a poor choice for that kind of media. However, GIF is well suited to pixel art. The original GIF doesn't go away when you upload - if you want to host GIFs on MediaCrush like that, I suggest hotlinking straight to it: https://mediacru.sh/1hBjPzWZGy6m.gif. That being said, we strive to make the conversion as close as possible to the original, and I feel that in both cases, the final result is close enough to give the general idea, and then you get the original GIF when you click "Download", so it's suitable for sharing.
Yes, I agree that it is quite good quality, the problem only arises when the output must be 100% accurate as with pixel art.
It's good to know that the original does not go away.. Especially for formats like GPL, this is quite helpful.
Files are run through detect, which determines what kind of file they are, collects some metadata, and selects a processor. Processing is distributed, which is accomplished through Celery (with Redis as a broker).
I see, excellent summary. With the help of that, I have written a GPL detector (which maybe doesn't work fully, I had no idea whether simply open()ing the file would be okay with your architecture):
def detect_gpl(path):
# XXX don't know how to access path. Is standard open() ok?
with open(path, 'r') as f:
lines = [f.readline().rstrip() for v in range(3)]
if (lines[0] != 'GIMP Palette' or
(not lines[1].startswith('Name: ')) or
(not lines[2].startswith('Columns: '))):
return None
return {
'type': 'application/x-gimp-palette',
'extra': None,
'flags': None,
Haven't written rendering code yet, but I think imagemagick can do the job; it would probably be possible to generate an XPM directly in Python code, that ImageMagick could then convert.
Regarding the other formats you mentioned, could you offer some test files, and a general idea of what they are and how we might go about detecting them and supporting them?
Yeah, I'll provide some shortly. You may not want to support them all, but here's a summary of what they are:
* GPL : Gimp Palette. Used by GIMP (duh), Inkscape, Mypaint, Scribus ... most OSS graphics apps. Identified as above (well, my routine above is actually fairly paranoid -- just checking that the first line content equals 'GIMP Palette' is normally enough to detect it). Sample files here.
* ora: OpenRaster. 'Generic layered image format', hopefully will become a standard for layered raster graphics interchange. MyPaint's native format, supported by GIMP and Krita. Convertable to PNG using calligraconverter[1].
* kra: Krita's native format. Convertable to PNG using calligraconverter[1].
* xcf, xcf.gz, xcf.bz: GIMP's native format. Convertable to PNG using xcf2png (from 'xcftools' package)
* ase : probably don't bother -- this is Aseprite's native format, which is not particularly common in the wild. I don't know of a tool that converts it. I just tried it for testing's sake.
* webp: Google's WebP format. Already handled, but you seem to currently convert it to a video even if the image is static.
[1] Available in the package 'calligra-extras'
You're welcome to submit pull requests; you should join the IRC channel to participate in dev chatter. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks, I'll look at doing that once I'm familiar with the system.

Links to open PDF not working in WebHelp RH TCS3

In my FM files I want to create links to open a pdf file (ideally at named destinations, but that seems a distant dream )
In RoboHelp I have included the PDF in my baggage folder (in it's own folder, called PDF)
My Go to URL link in FM is: message URL PDF/ICM_User_Manual.pdf
The link seems ok as far as the view source for the .htm file is concerned
The help is being served from a folder on a Tomcat web server, if that makes any difference.
However, the link does not display as a hyperlink (no hand is displayed). I've tried all kind of things to make it work, but to no avail.
Having searched the forums, I haven't come across a definitive answer as to:
A. Whether this actually works in a linked project.
B. If it does work, what the correct syntax is in FM to persuade the link inn RH to do as it should?
Mark

Hi Mark,
Compare the link in the RH file with the location of the PDF baggage file. Modify the FM marker to reflect that path.
One note:
Per Rick (I think) you should disable the Mark of the Web in order to see a working link in the generated SSL. This doesn't impact the published file (and in any case it would work in the published project) but with MOTW on, you will experience a dead link when previewing the project.

I right click on link, click, open in new window, then nothing happens. Or, windows within a page will not open, for example, on gmail, when I click "details" the window will not open.

When I right click on a hot link, then click, open in a new window, a window will not open. Alternatively, I can click, open in a new tab, and a new tab will open. Additionally, if I'm at a website with a chat feature, the chat window will not open, or, as another example, if I'm at gmail, and I click "details", the window that opens giving the summary of when your account has been opened and the IP addresses it's been accessed from, will not open.
I have on the computer, Aurora too. I doubt that it's a source of the problem, but I had to throw that into the mix. For clarification, this problem is happening while using the Firefox browser.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Don't give up just because there are other options out there.
Adobe is only giving up the free tool for education purposes, or unemployed developer. You didn't say if you were one of those.
I believe over time there will be plenty of room for alternate IDE approaches that support the Flex Framework; and in fact there are quite a few options already out there.

Open source shopping cart wont open with safari

Hi all...
I'm designing cart templates for a company that supplies an interface for uploading product to an open source shopping cart. The problem is I can't open the shopping carts with safari. They are fine with firefox and on a PC. (forgive me for swearing) The sites are open source carts based on php scripting with a lot of compressed data. A software interface is used to upload products etc... The error I get is
"Safari can’t open the page “not sure if I can put the link here as it is a business”. The error was: “bad server response” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1011) Please choose Report Bug to Apple..."
It's the same for all the sites using the carts.
Is there a fix at the user end or does safari simply not have support for these carts. Any help would be awesome....

PCI Compliance. As a merchant (online or brick & mortar store), you must take necessary steps to ensure your customer's CC info doesn't fall into the wrong hands. One way to do this is to pass your online customers off to a 3rd party processor like PayPal or Authorize.net. These companies are experts in safely gathering sensitive data, encrypting it and transmitting it to your payment Gateway and Merchant Bank account. This way, your customers never enter any sensitive data into your site's databases which avoids a lot of headaches for the web developer and merchant.
Server Security. Use a reliable web host. I can't emphasize this enough. Cheap hosting is no bargain especially if your host doesn't take reasonable steps to secure their servers at their end.
Lock down your php scripts & form log-ins to defend your site against possible hackers & robot exploitation. If your site is ever compromised, you will need reliable backups of your Site files and MySql data. Make sure to backup these files regularly and store them in a safe place.
Backend log-in. Use strong, encrypted passwords -- 17 characters, upper & lower case with symbols. If you can remember your passwords, they're not strong enough. I keep mine written down in a Rolodex.
Change the Admin log-in name to something less obvious like GrandHighExhaltedMysticRuler or something only you will recognize as the site's admin level user. It's also a good idea to change your server, database and backend log-ins regularly.
Finally, consider running SecureLive on your web server. I have it running on a dedicated server and this software has more than paid for itself. It identifies hacker attempts, blocks the user and sends the hacker's IP address to an FBI database. SecureLive - Home

How do you get iTunes to list JUST broken or dead links?

I would like to know how to get iTunes to show just broken links (aka Dead Links) much like how you can select it to show just duplicate songs/links
My Internal Harddrive (HD) had a glitch afew weeks ago and I had to reformat and reinstall. Before any of that happened tho I had made a complete backup copy of the "My Music" folder (Which included the iTunes folder with its database and everything else) to a external HD.
After getting the interal HD back up and running, I just copied everything within the "My Music" folder off the external and into the "My Music" folder on my Internal C Drive. During the copy process is when I found out that whatever glitch had happened had also affeced some of the MP3 files I had backed up on the external. Windows was able to copy all of the iTunes folder with its database and half of the MP3's The other half it couldn't tho.
Now when I open iTunes being that the database was copied over and all songs that were recovered are exactly where they were before they show up I have no problems there. But the songs that were not recovered are listed in the iTunes Library, just has broken links tho since they do not exist anymore.
It would make things ALOT easier if I could just get iTunes to show only the broken links. This would make a PERFECT list of all the songs I have missing. I could then know exactly which songs I need to rip again using iTunes or download so I can point these dead links to files and finish updating my iPod.
Windows XP

OK I have finally got this question somewhat answered, I went and used the Javascript at http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/FindDeadTracks.txt the first time, followed the rules of using "Save as" and changing the .txt at the end to .js and got errors running it.
The Second time tho, instead of just using "save as" I realized the first lines of this text are not code but just directions. Someone might know of a shorter way of doing this but I Highlighted only the code itsself and saved that (Example Below):
/* Rename me to FindDeadTracks.js
Double Click in Explorer to run
Script by Otto - http://ottodestruct.com */
var ITTrackKindFile = 1;
var iTunesApp = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application");
var deletedTracks = 0;
I just skipped the "Rename me to ........" Highlighted "var ITTrackKindFile " And everything below it. After saving this and running it, The script opened iTunes poped up how many dead tracks it found in a pop up window and (Without saying) had made a Text File of all the songs that were dead tracks in the "My Documents" Folder.

Yoga 13: any chance for open source Synaptics touchpad driver or touchpad API?

The Yoga is my 1st Windows machine in years. Coming from various MacBook(s) Pro(s) I dearly miss the capabilities and configurability of Apple's multitouch touchpad. While responsibility of the Synaptics device is fairly decent I haven't found an experience that is anything close to the one perceived on the MacBook touchpad. Latter in combination with BetterTouchTool is my weapon of choice when it comes to productivity. It offers almost unlimited configurability, that is, I can design/configure any gesture I desire and link it to a keystroke for instance. It's just perfect since I am not into Apple's predefined gesture settings at all.
Now I have spent endless hours in getting this back on my new Yoga. At least I am now able to use 3 finger swipes for back/forward navigation. However, this is just a fraction of what I need/want. That's why I am looking for a way to either be able to modify the driver myself (open source, Lenovo/Synaptics?) or get access to an API I can build on. Obviously I'd prefer latter option. Synaptics is touting their Gesture Suite but I cannot find a download somewhere. I'm afraid it's OEM only. And if that's the config app that comes with the standard Synaptics driver it's just pathetic.
So does anyone have a clue on how we can significantly improve the performance of this otherwise very nice laptop?
Thanks in advance,
stfn

Is there a way to make links automatically open in a new window / new tab when viewing the PDF online

Hi there,
Currently we are adjusting our PDF files at our company, in order to make them more "user-friendly".
We are looking for a way, when our customers view the PDFs online, that the URL that is in the PDF, when clicked on, will automatically open in a new window, instead of opening the URL in the same window as the PDF is opened..
Could some-one please help me this?
regards,

It worked for me. See the source of my example at (PDF link to open in new window). (Sorry, that is the default title of the test page.)

Legalities of modifying open source Java classes in a closed source App

If there is a better forum for this thread please let me know. I looked and looked and couldn't find any place where it seemed to fit.
Simply put, I want to know the legal ramifications of modifying open source Java classes which have been included in a commercial closed source application.
The specifics are my problem with the javax.servlet.http.Cookie classes interpretation with RFC 2019 in regards to acceptable cookie names. I currently am debating that in a thread here:
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5313146
I am using Adobe ColdFusion which is a J2EE application server running as a servlet in Macromedia JRun. JRun parses request headers and creates instances of the javax.servlet.http.Cookie class for each cookie. (An error is thrown from the constructor if the cookie name is not accepted)
I was able to work around the problem by modifying the code in the Cookie class, compiling it, and using jar.exe util in my SDK to update the new class into the jrun.jar file. I blogged it here:
http://www.codersrevolution.com/index.cfm/2008/7/15/No-Cookie-For-You-Second-Solution
My problem is I'm not sure if what I did conforms to the license for ColdFusion. Technically JRun is a closed source program I am not allowed to modify, but all I changed was a open source class from Sun. I didn't even need to decompile anything.
I have Googled in vain, but I can't seem to find any information that applies to modifying pieces of open sourced code contained inside of a closed source application.

"I thought it was straightforward and I didn't feel that lawyers were necessary. But you didn't seem to want to do that."
I'm unclear on whether you are implying that I didn't want to hire a lawyer or that I didn't want to read the licenses myself and make a decision. If you meant the former, you're darn right. I'm not paying anyone a dime to satisfy my personal acedemic curiosity concerning a random project I've been messing with in my spare time that isn't related to to any job or business decision. I'm simply looking for information because that's I do when I don't understand how something works. First, I Google the hell out of it and if I can't turn up satisfactory answers (or any at all) I find an applicable forum and ask there.
If you were implying the latter (that I didn't want to read the licenses myself) then you haven't been reading my posts. I stated to jschell that I have no problem attempting to figure out a license agreement on my own. In fact, I have read the ColdFusion agreement from Adobe before posting here. I talks about modifying the software, but I still don't think it is crystal clear about whether third part code falls under it's own license AND Adobie's or just its own license. Then that is the point at which you must do one of the following
1. Consult a lawyer.
2. Decide to allow for a liberal interpretation (thus you can use the code) and understand that you personally are liable if your interpretation is wrong.
3. Decide to allow for a conservative intepretation to avoid liable on your part.
Regardless of what anyone says here it won't remove your own liability.
>
The source for the java.servlet.http.Cookie class stated that it is release under the Apache license 2.0 whcih I read up on. I will admit I'm not actually sure how to tell the exact verison of the Java Servlet API classes that JRun is built on other than to cross reference which version of the servlet API came out with which version of Java, but that is a suspect method. I have been programming for more than 8 years, but I'm relatively new to the Java landscape.
I'm not looking for handouts here. I know this was a tough subject and I was prepared for NO ONE to respond and I would have been ok with that. I have no problems making decisions on my own and I have no intention of passing the buck to anybody.
Here's the thing though. A useful response is one that states some facts (or opinions), references a similar peice of software for comparison, a court case, or provides a few links to some open source-type websites were I might find more information about my issue.
Telling me to hire a lawyer and chastising me for "pass the buck" is doing about as much good as Linux snobs telling people to RTFM.
Wrong.
A lawyer is the best and most correct answer.
And it is the first answer that should always be given with these sorts of questions.
If you choose not to accept the best and most correct answer then that is up to you.
I understand that a large number of people on public forums are lazy sponges who wish someone would just post all the code they need, but assure you I am not that person. I'll admit I don't know much about open source and I'm not sure where to start looking since I seem to have a scenario which is not really discussed much on the web. All I am looking for is information and sincere help.And presumably you also understand that we certainly can't give you legal advice but also it would be foolhardy for you to accept it as well.
You learn by reading many license agreements and reading as much about legal situations involving computers and related technical cases as you can.
And until you are comfortable making such decisions yourself without asking then the only useful answer is ask a lawyer.

Open Source Reporting tool

Having tried CF Report Builder several months ago and quit .
I still don't see alot on the WEB about CF Report builder and a lot
frustrated users; even with the updates. I'm back to Crystal, but
now with Crystal 11 and Crystal's cost, that appears to be an
upcoming dead end. I did see someone using an open source product
called JasprReports (with CF)and wondered if anyone has been down
that street.

I am afraid slow performance is a built in feature of this database design, not much you can do in queries.
You could possibly create the views as materialized views and query those instead.
Quote from the linked article
But, how does it perform? Miserably, terribly, horribly. A simple "select
first_name, last_name from person" query is transformed into a 3-table join with
aggregates and all. Further, if the attributes are "NULLABLE" - that is, there
might not be a row in OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES for some attributes, you may have to
outer join instead of just joining which in some cases can remove more optimal
query plans from consideration.
Writing queries might look pretty straightforward, but it's impossible to do in
a performant fashion.

How can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?

Hi,
I would like to know as to how can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?
Kindly advice.
Thanks
Priya

Special > Hypertext > Command "open document" will do its best to open the target document inside FrameMaker, which may not be much help; Special > Hypertext > Command "message …" will use the application you specify. The user guide for 7.0 says this about absolute links, and I don't think anything has changed since:
For example, to start PaintBrush and open the Ship.pcx file on drive C you would use the command message system pbrush.exe C:/Ship.pcx
I've not often used a relative link, and not recently: the same source says
folder levels are separated by a slash / even in Windows and Mac
[relative links] FrameMaker searches for a relative pathname beginning in the folder that contains the current document
[absolute links] FrameMaker searches for an absolute pathname beginning at the top of the file system. In Windows, the absolute pathname begins with the drive specifier, a colon and a slash.
