The results, that I’ve been wishing for during my entire time as a should we say, are lackluster. Some applications – Linux user. And the bad thing about it is that I’m not such as SMPlayer – can see the TV tuner and sure who is to blame for its absence. display the TV programming. Most others, such as VLC, MPlayer and Kodi … well, not so much. To This month pretty much wraps up our article series date, the ONLY Linux program that works on Kodi, the home theater, multimedia mega- consistently is SMPlayer, and it’s marginal (as in program.

Windows wins this race, hands down. This was not my first attempt with a TV tuner under What I have longed for is better support for TV Linux, either. A few years back, when I built my tuners in Linux. First of all, it’s not as if TV – and TV desktop computer (which I chronicled here in the tuners – are new things. TV tuners have been pages of The PCLinuxOS Magazine), I installed a around for, well, as long as there have been TVs.

First, the or display images from this TV tuner card. equipment manufacturers – those making the TV tuners – make them dedicated to work with New users coming to Linux will want to do the things Windows, using procedures and processes that with their computers that they have done previously ONLY work under Windows. The icing on the cake is with the commercially available operating system … that they keep the key parts of the hardware and namely, Windows. When they are faced with such a software “closed source” so no one can possibly get daunting task as getting their TV tuner working them working on anything but Windows. Second, under Linux, that even someone (me) with a fairly there hasn’t been a concerted effort by the open extensive and long history with Linux can’t get source community to get TV tuners working under working, they will run back to their old proprietary Linux.

Upon enough attention to make a significant impact. To their return, they will regale their comrades with tales really make users frustrated, some programs will see of how Linux is not yet ready for “prime time,” and a particular TV tuner and others won’t.

While I’m not running back to Windows … or any other operating system … my exercise in futility with TV tuners has left me frustrated and somewhat discouraged. Occasionally, I’ll drag it (the USB TV tuner) back out of the drawer or off the shelf I’ve banished it to out of frustration, and give it another try (which usually ends in yet another round of frustration and another subsequent banishment of the TV tuner). Each new Linux kernel release causes hope to spring eternal, with hopes that maybe THIS new kernel will finally allow my device(s) to work as they should. I have yet to experience the euphoria of my device(s) working as they should. Like I mentioned earlier, it really shouldn’t be THIS difficult. If I EVER get either of the TV tuners to work, and work well and consistently under Linux, you all will be the first to know. I’m sure there’s a process to undertake that won’t be for the faint of heart. I’ll do my best to detail that process, step by step, if I ever arrive at a solution myself.

  • (A/V Codecs) REDCODE RAW (.R3D) ARRIRAW
    What is a Codec? Codec is a portmanteau of either "Compressor-Decompressor" or "Coder-Decoder," which describes a device or program capable of performing transformations on a data stream or signal. Codecs encode a stream or signal for transmission, storage or encryption and decode it for viewing or editing. Codecs are often used in videoconferencing and streaming media solutions. A video codec converts analog video signals from a video camera into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for display. An audio codec converts analog audio signals from a microphone into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for playing. The raw encoded form of audio and video data is often called essence, to distinguish it from the metadata information that together make up the information content of the stream and any "wrapper" data that is then added to aid access to or improve the robustness of the stream. Most codecs are lossy, in order to get a reasonably small file size. There are lossless codecs as well, but for most purposes the almost imperceptible increase in quality is not worth the considerable increase in data size. The main exception is if the data will undergo more processing in the future, in which case the repeated lossy encoding would damage the eventual quality too much. Many multimedia data streams need to contain both audio and video data, and often some form of metadata that permits synchronization of the audio and video. Each of these three streams may be handled by different programs, processes, or hardware; but for the multimedia data stream to be useful in stored or transmitted form, they must be encapsulated together in a container format.

  • Development of Cloud-Based Media Player Using Microsoft Azure Services
    eISSN:2600-7920 INTI JOURNAL Vol.1, 2018 (24) Development of Cloud-Based Media Player using Microsoft Azure Services Chong Fong Kim1, Chan Yong Kai 2 and Deshinta Arrova Dewi3 1,2,3 Faculty of Information Technology and Science, INTI International University, Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract Playing songs offline consumes internal storage capacity of a device. Besides, playing songs, most of the time is an individual acting as a hobby and many song listeners do not have a common platform to share their hobby with others. By putting it on the cloud, the internal storage capacity can be reduced and the chance to share the common hobby with others is available. This paper aims to present the development of a Cloud-Based Media Player (CBMP) to ease the users in managing their song files and sharing with others. The CBMP utilizes a website as the main controller and connects to the Microsoft Azure Services to host the music database. Two separate sections are created for the user to upload and download their songs as private and share sections. Accordingly, users can choose the favored section they want to access. Not only features to upload and download songs are provided, but the CMBP also provides a search function that enables users to search songs in both different to make a search process faster. Due to latency in the cloud services, the suggested song format for CMBP is.MP3 files. The .MP3 files promote better compression rate than .MP4. Besides, .MP4 has higher latency that makes users waiting longer for processing the songs.
