Bring Linux apps to the Mac Desktop with Docker

Here are a few reasons why you may want to use Docker to run Linux applications on macOS:

• To access to newer versions of software
• To test various versions of the same software simultaneously
• To use tools which may not be ported to macOS yet

• For sandboxing an application:

  • To tighten up on security
  • or to isolate and/or spy on network traffic

• cast audio and video to a Chromecast device;
• can transcode any formats not supported by the Chromecast in real time (using FFmpeg or Libav), so you don’t have to convert any video manually;
• provides basic control commands: pause / unpause / stop playback (currently this only works when not transcoding), set or mute volume;
• allows specifying a device when multiple Chromecasts are connected on the same network;
• supports passing custom custom transcoder parameters to ffmpeg or avconv (thanks to this, you can set the quality, add subtitles even though Stream2Chromecast doesn’t directly support it, etc.);

• supports specifying the port to use for streaming media.

Making Kodi Great Again

Naming video files/TV shows

Kodi requires each TV show to be in its own folder, and for each file to contain a pattern from which Kodi can determine the season and episode number (e.g. “S01E01”).

Backend Options

PlexKodiConnect: let Kodi talk to your Plex — Plex Forums

PKC synchronizes your media from your Plex server to the native Kodi database. Because PKC uses the native Kodi database, the above limitations are gone!

• You can browse your media full speed, images are cached
• All other Kodi addons will be able to “see” your media, thinking it’s normal Kodi stuff

• Use any Kodi skin you want!

• PlexKodiConnect: Plex add-on for Kodi

PKC combines the best of Kodi – ultra smooth navigation, beautiful and highly customizable user interfaces and playback of any file under the sun, and the Plex Media Server to manage all your media without lifting a finger.

Have a look at some screenshots to see what’s possible.

What is currently supported?

PKC currently provides the following features:

• All Plex library types
  • Movies and Home Videos
  • TV Shows
  • Music
  • Pictures and Photos
• Different PKC interface languages:
  • English
  • German
  • More coming up

  • Disc art
  • Clear logos
  • Landscapes
  • Clear art
  • Extra fanart backgrounds
• Automatically group movies into movie sets
• Direct play from network paths (e.g. “\\server\Plex\movie.mkv”) instead of streaming from slow HTTP (e.g. “192.168.1.1:32400”). You have to setup all your Plex libraries to point to such network paths. Do have a look at the wiki here

Add-on:Emby for Kodi – Official Kodi Wiki

Emby is a media management server that allows you to synchronize media libraries, watched status, and watch progress between compatible devices.

Using snap with confinement on Arch Linux

So this week I worked in order to port the apparmor patches to the linux-lts kernel so I create some AUR package in order to have confinement working.
I also had to make upstream fix some weird bugs, eventually it was a complete success and confinement works perfectly.

Fedora about to get Snapd confinement?

Last day of the Snappy Sprint and the meta topic (in the track I’m following) is the review and continuation of the community outreach. We’ve heard more from KDE about their roadmap for snaps, snapd improvements for Fedora, integrating community snaps into the +Snapcraft​ CI to broaden the automated testing, dogfooding snaps and Snappy Schwaag!

The Snappy Sprint in Heidelberg came to a close yesterday. Here are my thoughts…

Snaps and Fedora – devel – Fedora List Archives

I’ve left the Snappy Sprint with a clear understanding of the road ahead, an enthusiasm and commitment to be a part of the snap journey, and most importantly, some great new friendships. Keep your ear to the ground about snaps, there is certainly big news to follow in the not too distant future…

Plasma 5.5 Review

Plasma 5.5 features updates to the Breeze theme, there is an expanded feature set in the application launcher, new Plasma Applets, OpenGL ES support has been restored in Kwin, and there is much greater Wayland support. With Plasma 5.5 comes basic support for the Wayland session without depending upon X11/XWayland. However, this KDE Wayland support isn’t yet ready for casual Linux desktop users

• KDE Plasma 5.5 Officially Released

digiKam 5.0.0-beta2 is released

This release marks almost complete port of the application to Qt5 and KF5 API. All Qt4/KDE4 code has been removed and many parts have been re-written, reviewed, and tested. Porting to Qt5 required a lot of work, as many important APIs had to be changed or replaced by new ones.

In addition to code porting, we introduced several changes and optimizations, especially regarding dependencies on the KDE project. Although digiKam is still a KDE desktop application, it now uses many Qt dependencies instead of KDE dependencies. This simplifies the porting job on other operating systems, code maintenance, while reducing sensitivity of API changes from KDE project.

Kdenlive 15.12, what to expect

We have been working hard over the past months to improve stability, polish the interface and continue our big code cleanup. Kdenlive 15.12.0 will be released next week, and here are some of the changes you will get with this new version:

New Features

We managed to add a few nice features. here are a few of them:

• Timeline effects and Bin effects can be temporarily disabled and re-enabled in 2 clicks
• A basic implementation of a copy / paste feature has been added, which allows you to save a part of your timeline and import it later inside another project with all effects and transitions being editable
• Track transparency: a simple click allows you to enable / disable transparency for a given track
• Icons now automatically adapt their color scheme (light or dark) to the UI theme
• More infos on the features should hopefully be published soon…s/SYjiQdP2QDw

A closer look to Ark 15.12

With the upcoming 15.12 release the situation is quite different, as there are a significant number of changes

Krita 2.9.10 Released

The tenth bugfix release already! There are quite a few fixes, though the focus these days is really on getting Krita 3.0 ready for the first alpha release. Of particular interest to owners of a system with an AMD processor is the option to disable vectorization support. That might improve performance, but only for users of AMD systems! We’ve also got a fix by a new contributor, Nicholas LaPointe!

There’s Rapid Progress Being Made On KDE For Wayland

Here’s the recent Google+ postings showing off the latest KDE Wayland progress by Marco Martin and Martin Gräßlin:

• Popups and blur effects

• Window positioning

• … And fine-tuning that positioning to be perfect

• Proper window stacking between XWayland, Wayland clients, and Plasma Desktop

• Descriptive compositor names

• Martin has also put the KWayland library in the Inqlude Qt library archive for developers_

• Konsole doesn’t close properly and uses 100% of one cpu – KaOS

Note that ksuperkey does not depend on any specific desktop environment and should work fine on KDE Plasma 4, Plasma 5, GNOME Shell, Unity, Xfce, LXDE, etc.

Mozilla Will Stop Developing And Selling Firefox OS Smartphones

Farewell Firefox OS smartphones. Mozilla today announced an end to its smartphone experiment, and said that it would stop developing and selling Firefox OS smartphones. It will continue to experiment on how it might work on other connected devices and Internet of Things networks.

The announcement was made earlier today at Mozilla’s developer event in Orlando, “Mozlando“, and several people were tweeting the basics of the news. Now Mozilla has provided us with a full statement from Ari Jaaksi, Mozilla’s SVP of Connected Devices.

“We are proud of the benefits Firefox OS added to the Web platform and will continue to experiment with the user experience across connected devices. We will build everything we do as a genuine open source project, focused on user experience first and build tools to enable the ecosystem to grow.

Firefox OS proved the flexibility of the Web, scaling from low-end smartphones all the way up to HD TVs. However, we weren’t able to offer the best user experience possible and so we will stop offering Firefox OS smartphones through carrier channels.

We’ll share more on our work and new experiments across connected devices soon.”

• Firefox OS was first unveiled in 2013, with the aim of targeting the developing world and late adopters with low-cost handsets.

Emby – The open media solution

Bringing all of your media together into one place has never been easier. Your Emby Server automatically converts and streams your media on-the-fly to play on any device.

Prepare your media

Emby identifies your media according to folder structure, file name, and the type of library to which it is assigned. Once identified, Emby downloads information like posters, descriptions, and ratings that make media selection a rich experience. The requirements for organizing and naming files are quite flexible, but will require some basic structure.

The general recommendations are:

• Separate media into appropriate folders (e.g., Movies in a “Movies” folder, TV shows in a “TV Shows” folder, music in a “Music” folder, photos in a “Photos” folder, etc.)

• Movies should be named as “Name (Year).exe”, for example “Brave (2012).mp4”

• TV shows should include season and episode numbers in the name, and be stored in separate folders per show. For example: “\TV\Homeland\Homeland s01e01.mp4”

• Music should be stored within artist and album folders, such as “\Music\Artist\Album\tracks”

Install the Server

Once your media is named and organized, it’s time to install the Server. The server is available on a number of platforms ranging from Windows to Linux, Mac, FreeBSD and Nas devices.

For more information, see installation.

Add Users

You may wish to add users and invite your friends. Users can have their own personalized media libraries, user data, recommendations and more.

For more information, see users.

• Has support for advanced features power users love, that likely does not appeal to the majority of Plex users.

Emby Supports Live TV

Built-in Live TV support, and support for external services.

• Amazon.com: HDHomeRun EXTEND 2-Tuner CordCutter Over-the-Air WiFi Streaming Media Playe

• Watch live streaming HD TV on your phone or tablet wherever you are in your home
  • Cut the cable and cut the subscription costs
  • Watch live HD TV on up to 2 devices simultaneously on your wifi or wired network
  • One click of our App to view live TV on Android or iOS
  • TV antenna required

Emby for Android

Bringing all of your personal media together into one place has never been easier! Emby unites your personal videos, music, and photos and streams them to your devices.

Emby Online Web Client

Visit https://app.emby.media from any web browser and sign in using Emby Connect. You’ll be able to connect any of your servers and enjoy all of your media.

Branding Support

Notes

Minimum Requirements — no transcoding

• Intel Core 2 Duo processor 1.6 GHz or better
• At least 1GB RAM for Windows/Mac OS X
• At least 512MB RAM for Linux
• Windows: Vista or later
• OS X: Snow Leopard 10.6.3 or later
• Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS or SuSE Linux

Recommended Configuration — transcoding HD Content:

• Intel Core 2 Duo processor 2.4 GHz or better
• If transcoding for multiple devices, a faster CPU may be required
• At least 2GB RAM
• Windows: Vista or later
• OS X: Snow Leopard 10.6.3 or later

• Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS or SuSE Linux

• Chris has noticed better compatibility under Firefox than Chrome, for playback, and Metadata management.

• Decoding Performance seems be worse than Plex… However both are using ffmpeg on the backend. Not sure why.

• My specific use case is a bit different than normal. I am running with a minimum amount of media. Enough to last the Finding Linux roadtrip, and maybe a bit more. I’m not loading it up with hundreds of TV shows and movies.

As far as I know, sshuttle is the only program that solves the following
common case:

• Your client machine (or router) is Linux, FreeBSD, or MacOS.
• You have access to a remote network via ssh.
• You don’t necessarily have admin access on the remote network.
• The remote network has no VPN, or only stupid/complex VPN
  protocols (IPsec, PPTP, etc). Or maybe you are the
  admin and you just got frustrated with the awful state of
  VPN tools.
• You don’t want to create an ssh port forward for every
  single host/port on the remote network.
• You hate openssh’s port forwarding because it’s randomly
  slow and/or stupid.
• You can’t use openssh’s PermitTunnel feature because
  it’s disabled by default on openssh servers; plus it does
  TCP-over-TCP, which has terrible performance (see below).

Microsoft Has Own Distro

Microsoft has developed its own Linux distribution. And Azure runs it to do networking.

Redmond’s revealed that it’s built something called Azure Cloud Switch (ACS), describing it as “a cross-platform modular operating system for data center networking built on Linux” and “our foray into building our own software for running network devices like switches.”

But it appears Redmond couldn’t find SDN code to fits its particular needs, as it says ACS “… focuses on feature development based on Microsoft priorities” and “allows us to debug, fix, and test software bugs much faster. It also allows us the flexibility to scale down the software and develop features that are required for our datacenter and our networking needs.”

• Microsoft showcases the Azure Cloud Switch (ACS)

ACS believes in the power of Open Networking. ACS together with the open, standardized SAI interface allows us to exploit new hardware faster and enables us to ride the tide of ASIC innovation while simultaneously being able to operate on multiple platforms. Running on Linux, ACS is able to make use of its vibrant ecosystem. ACS allows to use and extend Open Source, Microsoft, and Third Party applications. The main functional blocks from top to the bottom of the ACS stack are shown in the figure below.

VirtualBox No Long to Provide Info about Security Vulnerabilities

This update fixes an unspecified security issue in VirtualBox related to
guests using bridged networking via WiFi. Oracle no longer provides
information on specific security vulnerabilities in VirtualBox. To still
support users of the already released Debian releases we’ve decided to
update these to the respective 4.1.40 and 4.3.30 bugfix releases.

Ubuntu Hardware Store

It just got even easier to buy Ubuntu laptops, desktops and phones from India’s biggest online retailer.

Canonical has opened a brand new “brand store” for Ubuntu products on Snapdeal, who are the exclusive stockists of the Bq Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition and E5 Ubuntu Edition smartphones in India.

China’s Year of the Linux Desktop

For years, the “year of the Linux desktop” was right around the corner: Open-source software would displace Windows (or Window$), and usher in a glorious, peaceful revolution in the computing industry.

If Dell is to be believed, that revolution is happening now.

Dell’s head of China told The Wall Street Journal that NeoKylin Linux is shipped on 42 percent of the PCs it sells into the country, primarily for the commercial and government PCs that Dell specializes in. Hewlett-Packard also ships NeoKylin-equipped PCs to China, the paper said, but it’s unclear how many they sell with the OS installed.

America’s crackdown on open-source Wi-Fi router firmware

Analysis America’s broadband watchdog is suffering a backlash over plans to control software updates to Wi-Fi routers, smartphones, and even laptops.

In a proposed update [PDF] to the regulator’s rules over radiofrequency equipment, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) would oblige manufacturers to “specify which parties will be authorized to make software changes.”

In addition, it proposes that “modifications by third parties should not be permitted unless the third party receives its own certification.”

AMD Confirms Vulkan Driver For Linux, But To Start Off As Closed-Source

AMD has finally revealed some basic details concerning their support of Vulkan on Linux. AMD has a Vulkan driver but it will begin its life as closed-source, reports Phoronix. In time the AMD Vulkan driver will transition to being open-source. This Vulkan driver is built to interface with their new AMDGPU kernel DRM driver that’s part of their long talked about AMD open-source strategy for Linux. This closed-then-open Vulkan driver will be competing with Valve’s Intel Vulkan driver that will be open from day one.

Single Verizon IP Address Used For Hundreds of Windows 7 Activations

A presumed pirate with an unusually large appetite for activating Windows 7 has incurred the wrath of Microsoft. In a lawsuit filed in a Washington court, Microsoft said that it logged hundreds of suspicious product activations from a single Verizon IP address and is now seeking damages. Who he, she or they are behind address 74.111.202.30 is unknown at this point, but according to Microsoft they’re responsible for some serious Windows pirating. “As part of its cyberforensic methods, Microsoft analyzes product key activation data voluntarily provided by users when they activate Microsoft software, including the IP address from which a given product key is activated,” the lawsuit reads. The company says that its forensic tools allow the company to analyze billions of activations of software and identify patterns “that make it more likely than not” that an IP address associated with activations is one through which pirated software is being activated.

GOG’s Take On Steam Goes Live Today

GOG Galaxy, which you can download here, is now in open beta. Like Steam, Origin, and other PC gaming clients, it’s a stand-alone program with its own achievements, friend lists, and massively restrictive DRM. Just kidding. Anyone who follows the people behind GOG—a subsidiary of _Witcher 3 _developer CD Projekt Red—knows they’re as anti-DRM as it gets.

CoreOS Gives Up Control of Non-Docker Linux Container Standard | Data Center Knowledge

Taking a major step forward in its quest to drive a Linux container standard that’s not created and controlled by Docker or any other company, CoreOS spun off management of its App Container project into a stand-alone foundation. Google, VMware, Red Hat, and Apcera have announced support for the standard.

Becoming a more formalized open source project, the App Container (appc) community now has a governance policy and has added a trio of top software engineers that work on infrastructure at Google, Twitter, and Red Hat as “community maintainers.

Apple pushing music labels to kill free Spotify streaming ahead of Beats relaunch

Ubuntu 15.04 Released, First Version To Feature systemd

The final release of Ubuntu 15.04 is now available. A modest set of improvements are rolling out with this spring’s Ubuntu. While this means the OS can’t rival the heavy changelogs of releases past, the adage “don’t fix what isn’t broken” is clearly one 15.04 plays to. The headline change is systemd being featured first time in a stable Ubuntu release, which replaces the inhouse UpStart init system. The Unity desktop version 7.3 receives a handful of small refinements, most of which aim to either fix bugs or correct earlier missteps (for example, application menus can now be set to be always visible). The Linux version is 3.19.3 further patched by Canonical. As usual, the distro comes with fresh versions of various familiar applications.
