Timo’s procmail tips and recipes
I find most of the other documentation difficult to wrap my head around. This with it’s abundance of examples is great!

YouTube APIs.. Is this new?
Hmmn.. This could be very interesting..!
“YouTube is excited to offer APIs to the developer community. Using our APIs, you can easily integrate online videos from YouTube’s rapidly growing repository of videos into your application. The APIs currently allow read-only access to key parts of the YouTube video respository and user community.”
Thanks Steven.
Flash, FFMPEG and now Thumbnails!
A couple of days ago I got FFMPEG working to automatically generate FLV video files for OpenVlog. Today I finally got thumbnails generating correctly. Here are the commands:
This creates a JPEG:
ffmpeg -i inputfile -t 0.001 -ss 1 -vframes 1 -f mjpeg -s 320×240 outputfile.jpg
This creates a QT Movie that I am using as a reference movie (just one frame of video):
ffmpeg -i inputfile -t 0.001 -ss 1 -vframes 1 -vcodec mpeg4 -an outputfile.mov
I got this working with lots of help from the following pages:
Converting Video Formats with FFmpeg
Extracting JPG Frames Using FFmpeg and mjpeg Parameter
Lame and Sox for use with Asterisk
VoIPowering Your Office with Asterisk: Soothing the Savages with Hold Music
Some good little command line snippets for conversion to GSM..
Video Comments, Video Comments, Video Comments
At this session at Vloggercon 2006, I presented the video comments plugin which this video is using.. Check it out. Click on “Watch Video” after the jump. (Warning, the video is long and big)
Mobile Image and Video Posting
Where.com – WHERE Mobile 2.0 API
From the site:
The WHERE Mobile 2.0 API allows developers to add mobile pictures and mobile video clips to web sites with a few simple steps
Very similar to what I have been planning on doing with my Video and Image Moblogging with a (video enabled) Camera Phone Scripts
-Thanks Jenny!
Yippee!
FMJ – Freedom for Media in Java
From the site:
FMJ is an open-source project with the goal of providing a replacement/alternative to Java Media Framework (JMF).
JMF is still dead in the water, despite some folks from Sun making a little bit of noise a couple of months back. Let’s hope this effort keeps it going.
Java to JavaScript.. Crazy

Very interesting.. Will have to give it a shot..
From the article:
The Google Web Toolkit (GWT) released this week is a framework that converts a standard Java application into Ajax that will work in all browsers.
PUTools: Python Utility Tools for PyS60
S60 Python
Series 60 Python tools, Including the very useful push (Python Utility Shell). Can’t wait to give it a shot (too bad it isn’t for Java ;-) Perhaps Mobile Processing will do something similar)
