This mail announces the release of GStreamer Good Plug-ins 0.10.25
"Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea".

good quality code and correct functionality, under our preferred license
(LGPL for the plug-in code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting
library).

Highlights of this release:

  * v4l2src: massive performance improvement in many cases
  * streaming mode fixes for avi and matroska/webm
  * seeking in matroska and webm files that don't have an index
  * new cpureport element for debugging

[gst-devel] RELEASE: GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins 0.10.16 "Because He Knows the Time is Short"

This mail announces the release of GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins 0.10.16
"Because He Knows the Time is Short".

GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins is a set of plug-ins that have good quality and
correct functionality, but distributing them might pose problems. The
license on either the plug-ins or the supporting libraries might not be
how we'd like. The code might be widely known to present patent
problems.

Highlights of this release:

  * refactor x264enc to use current x264 API correctly, add new properties and new defaults
  * liboil is no longer required, but orc is now required

For more information, see
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/modules/gst-plugins-ugly.html

[gst-devel] RELEASE: GStreamer Bad Plug-ins 0.10.20 "For it is a Human Number"

This mail announces the release of GStreamer Bad Plug-ins 0.10.20 "For it is a Human Number".

GStreamer Bad Plugins is a set of plugins that aren't up to par compared
to the rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're
missing something - be it a good code review, some documentation, a set
of tests, a real live maintainer, or some actual wide use.

Highlights of this release:

  * asfmux streaming fixes and improvements
  * new video effects plugins: coloreffects, gaudieffects, geometrictransform
  * new gsettings plugin with gsettings{audio,video}{src,sink} elements
  * new ivfparse element
  * new rtmpsrc element
  * new shmsink and shmsrc elements for IPC using shared memory
  * new videomaxrate element
  * dshowvideosink improvements
  * vdpau: H.264 and MPEG-4 decoder (not enabled for autoplugging yet though)
  * vp8enc: support multipass encoding and keyframe-only mode
  * neonhttpsrc: timeout properties and cookie support
  * h264parse and mpegvideoparse: can periodically insert codec data into stream now

http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/modules/gst-plugins-bad.html

Rygel 0.7.8 (Beware of Dog) is out!

A new release in the current unstable 0.7.x series for upcoming GNOME 2.31.92
release.

- If the client didn't pass a Range header in the request, don't append
  Accept-Ranges and Content-Range headers to response. This fixes picture
  browsing on XBox 360 (again).
- Don't put empty nodes in device description.
- Use '\r\n' instead of '\n' in XML files. Some UPnP devices in the market are
  apparently unable to handle the unix EOL character so we better provide the
  XML files in DOS format.
- MediaExport:
  - Fix an assertion failure.
- Localization:
  - Remove markup from a translatable string in preferences UI.
  - Don't build translatable strings by substitution.
  - Prefer the term 'folder' over 'directory' in translated strings.

question for the Arista/Transmageddon groups

Greetings; I have downloaded the source for Transmageddon but not looked
at it yet (multitasking heavily tonight on a deadline) but noticed that
Transmageddon and Arista are two overlapping projects, are open source
and at least one is written in Python. I also read on part of the
Transmageddon site that one of the intended directions will be to rip
DVDs in addition to the existing file imports. Also I saw something
about how they shared lots of source with Arista and that they are
pushing a profile download service (as opposed to having phone-book
sized transcoding profile libraries). Now all of that would seem to have
a certain amount of overlap with my open-source project which is more
narrowly-defined but if people were interested enough there is a key
portion of my project that I could rewrite to be shared with these two
projects.  If no one wants it or shows interest I will be on my way but
I think this is an area we could help each other. In short, my app
started life as a wrapper/abstraction layer for different rip engines
(ogmrip, HandBrake, mencoder, etc) and while it does do this well
enough, the part you might be interested in the track lookup service I
built. What this does is look at a DVD when inserted, uses libdvdread to
create an MD5 hash on the disc, sends a request to my back-end server in
XML-RPC and if found, will feed the right information to the ripper to
properly name the tracks. Yes, it is a lot like CDDB only it covers more
metadata about DVDs/tracks like track type (such as movie, show (like an
hour TV show), cartoon/animated (same thing only about Simpsons-size) or
extra feature. The ripper portion of my system then uses this
information to provide custom rip information so (for example) the main
feature of a disc can be automatically ripped with a different profile
than say the extra features on that disc (or the special features can be
omitted entirely) or animation or anime can be ripped with different
quality settings than a movie. You get the idea. The part of all this
that might appeal to these two projects (and I would be delighted to

Hi Jeff,

Out of curiosity - is the database public? If so, what is the license of
the database data on the server? Is it possible to download a snapshot
of the database for experimentation on a local machine, for example?
Would the data license allow people to take the data and set up their
own server elsewhere (for non-commercial purposes) if you lost interest,
turned evil or somesuch?

 Cheers
