are you talking about a specific thread? if so, could you please link to it. i see some generic posts about how ffmpeg is written in C and Assembly and will not be re-written in C++, but nothing about Rust.

Isn't it an inherent problem with phones that if they are left on charge forever that their battery will explode? I've had test devices that I left connected for months together and inevitably the battery has exploded on every sin

yeah these are pretty much the options. i believe the ffmpeg command that OP suggested would do option 3.

yeah it probably doesn't matter in practice. you may run into some audio sync issues. but the ~1 second precision that you see is by accident where the source file happens to have a keyframe every 1 second. that may not be the case alw

i understand that this is the fastest way to extract frames, but it is limited by key frame availability in the original file (i.e.) you can only start the output from a keyframe. in this case, it is important to be aware that the times yo

fwiw, it seems like it's a common thing to avoid answering vague/overly broad questions like this in a deposition. see here: https://old.reddit.com/r/SelfDrivingCars/comments/10df9y9/th... it re

Slightly off topic, but a hack that i have found to read recipe websites on my phone is to use the "Print Recipe" link that most websites provide. It gets rid of most of the annoying ads, autoplaying videos and unzoomable text (or

hmm, while this is cool i am not sure if it is a full-fledged replacement for the Google Finance "portfolios" feature. That lets you add the number of stocks you own for each symbol and shows you an aggregate gain/loss per da

As far as i know, most of the outsourcing companies have a contract with the employee that will make the employee pay a huge fine if he quits them after moving to the US. I'm not sure about the legality of this, but a lot of companies

yes, but using a thing they already have comes with privacy concerns. it also depends on their wifi/bluetooth being in "discoverable" mode.

I am just curious. Wouldn't it be more easier to do this with specific devices than using the phones? Each passenger can be given a smart card along with the boarding pass (or embedded in the boarding pass). The sensors could merely ch

in most countries i've been to (UK, Canada, India) 2G data came in handy for things like navigation. note that 2g is part of your plan and it does not cost anything extra. nevertheless, they also have an option to upgrade to 3G data fo

Looks pretty good. I've been using http://www.airdates.tv/ for this stuff. One suggestion would be to add more service providers like Google Play Movies and Vudu.

the particular example that you want seems to use eplayer. it seems like it's a livestream and uses some proprietary protocol and is not as simple as fetching data from a URL and playing it back. So it's unlikely that you'll

No, chromecast cannot play flash videos. But you can extract the URL of the videos from common swf based players like JWPlayer using a tool like youtube-dl [1] and then use that URL to playback the content in chromecast. This will probably

yes, it does support the mkv container. WebM and MKV files are usually parsed with the same parser. So pretty much any player that can play WebM can play MKV given the encapsulated codec is supported. disclosure: i work on the Chrome team b

Casting a chrome tab typically means re-encoding your screen frame buffer, sending it to chromecast and decoding it there. Whereas this app merely pulls the video off the URL and decodes it in the chromecast. Your system has no load and it

that's neat. i haven't looked at the code, what's your target video codec for transcoding? is it VP8?
