Ubuntu Multimedia :: Record A Stream With Http Cookie Authentication?
Apr 2, 2010
I can open the stream fine from Firefox and I have recorded streams using VLC, however this one uses cookies as authentication and VLC will not play it Apparently it's considered a security issue so cookie support has not been implemented for VLC.
Divx webplayer in Windows can download and save a divx video file while streaming, so the stream is recorded to the hdd or sth. How can I do this in Ubuntu? In addition to Ubuntu Videoplayer I have installed Gnome Mplayer and VLC Player. Will any of this do the trick? If yes, how exaytly would I proceed?
I was wondering is somebody could look at this simple script that I am working on. I cannot get it to output to my home directory. I noticed the message "bad input or output format" in the VLC verbose terminal.
Is it possible to record an Internet radio stream? I don't mean the audio output, I mean the stream itself, which often contains additional data such as track and artist details.
I guess what I'm asking is how to record the stuff that goes /into/ my media player, rather than what comes out of it. But maybe dealing with raw data like this would result in huge files and be impractical?
I'm looking for a program that will add cookies to my web browser (firefox or chrome, preferably). The application would ask me for the Cookie's:Name
Content Domain Path Send For (type of connection) Expiration Date
If no one knows of an application that does this, does anyone know what files i could manually edit in order to change a particular browser's cookie values?
I'm looking for Webcam Streaming software that can stream over HTTP.I've done a bit of looking on google and can't find a good solution.Ideally it would be streaming video with sound.
Computer A has two network interfaces. One is on a 255.255.255.240(eth0) subnet and has an IP of 192.168.1.6 and the other is on 255.255.255.0(eth1) subnet and has an IP of 192.168.1.64. eth1 can communicate with modem(192.168.1.254), which also acts as a gateway to the Internet. eth0 can communicate with my internal LAN, which consists of several computers including Computer B. This subnet 255.255.255.240 has it's own gateway to the internet at 192.168.1.1. However gateways will not apply to this scenario. I just added them to help paint a picture of my network.
What I am trying to do is tunnel http from a web server running on the modem(192.168.1.254) across to Computer B within my internal LAN and be able to view the http content via a browser. Sure I can just open a browser on Computer A, but I'm running Computer A headless. I can also curl it from a command line, but I'd like to learn how to tunnel across a subnet. If I get this to work, would I be able to interact with the site(i.e. make modem configuration changes)? or would it just be one way? How do I tunnel data from the eth1 subnet over to the eth0 subnet and over to Computer B on my internal LAN?
What I tried was the following: I setup a proxymini to run on Computer A and have it listening on the eth0 interface on port 8080 by using this command 'proxymini -l 192.168.1.6 -p 8080'. Then on computer B, I setup httptunnel -a 80 -p 192.168.1.254:80 -d 192.168.1.64:8080. Then I should be able to view the site through a browser on port 80 on the computer I run httptunnel? This setup isn't working.
I'm trying to add HTTP authentication to my app (it's a rss reader). As the app is in written in C and uses Libxml2, I've been searching in Libxml2 doc, but it seems it's not possible. Maybe someone could point me to a link to relevant info about how I could achieve that?
I have a process where by all SVN repositories are held in /var/svn/[domain]. I have set-up a post-commit hook to automatically checkout the repository to the development site and delete all .svn directories recursively through-out.I intend to run a bash script (as below); this is where my problem lies. EVERY repository is "Open" and anyone can read, write and commit the repository, however thus is secure via HTTP Authentication, using htpasswd.
Because the hook is automatic, I would like to be able to collect the current user/password but I don't think it's possible so I have created an account for the system called "svnroot" with a password.How can i authenticate through the HTTP Authentication via my bash script?
I have a server acting as a proxy to a couple of IP cameras on my local network. The IP cameras require HTTP-Authentication (Basic) but I want the outward facing Apache server to automatically log in without prompting the user for a login.
My current configuration is:
Code:
That works as a proxy but still asks for a HTTP Auth login. Can I get Apache to pass the login details to the IP cameras so users can just hit up the proxy and view the camera without having to log in?
I using rhel5 i installed&configured nagios ofter loged in the nagios server when i m enter hosts & services i m getting this error # it appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the hosts you requested. If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements for accessing this CGI and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file.
i recently moved from Ubuntu to Debian(squeeze).. i am very pleased with squeeze except for this bug..I have this python script i wrote to change my wallpaper (through Gconf), the script would be called by cron from time to time.The problem i am facing in Debian is that this script stopped working.I am exporting the $DISPLAY=:0 in Cron, (this is how it worked in Ubuntu)..the cron job i used is below:
so the above was not running...I redirected the output and this is what i got as error:
------------- Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyAutolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.) -------------
I've used VLC for years, in both windows and linux. In windows streaming, you can select "NONE" for a Video Input, and just stream audio. This is not the case for Ubuntu's version.What can I do to stream just audio in VLC?
i'm currently running ubuntu server 10.04, I would like to stream tv from the server to web address or maybe other tv front end. Is there any software for this
on my VLC, I set up a stream via: media -> streaming -> add an .avi and click on stream -> next -> select http, then clicked add -> selected theora/flac codec under OGG -> clicked next -> clicked stream.Here, I'm able to open another VLC player and connect to network[URL]I was just wondering if the IP address is what's needed to have them connect to me, or if it was something else? In addition, I disabled pglcmd and forwarded port 8080 for my IP.
Want to record an Internet radio broadcast. If I go to the relevant website and click on the streaming option, I get a box that offers me a choice of programs with which to open the stream. Right now it only has "Movie Player (default)" from which to choose.
If I click "other" then I have to tell the program where the VLC media player executable file is located.
I installed Nagios on my Ubuntu 10.04 server using apt-get and when I accessed the web console, everything was OK. I made some changes to apache (creating some new virtual sites) and since then Nagios gives me a warning message for HTTP with the message, HTTP WARNING: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found. The sites that I created are working perfectly. I noticed that the attemps are 4/4. Does this need to be reset or does Nagios automatically reset that once it detects the issue is resolved?
i would like to know whether it is possible to pass firefox a single cookie generated by some other program (in this case wget), doing it from the command line. my concrete use for this is to login to a site (connect.garmin.com) with wget, saving the cookie with --save-cookies --keep-session-cookies, pass this cookie to curl, do some uploads and then pass the cookie to firefox to open the page and have me logged in automatically (everything besides firefox is sorted out). google searches and the firefox man page suggest that firefox doesn't have this functionallity, but would it in that case be possible to link the cookie into firefox's normal cookie jar?
All I can record in my computer using The Sound Recorder in Jaunty is 1. It's either MIC or an MP3. You have to turn off one to keep the other and vice versa. How do you record both?
PS I did some homework and they said I need to install a mixer. But I've tried alsamixer, gnome-alsamixer, kmix, jack, they don't the mixers that I need.
PPS I'm recording from Sound Recorder and gtk-recordmydesktop.
I have been recording some demos from games like Quake 3, 4, and Doom 3. Now, I've been able to use Quake Video Maker in the past to take the Targa frames that the games export, and then combine those into a movie. However, it seems this time that QVM is spitting out some bad files. I try to watch the AVI file, but I just get this error message:
** Message: Error: Could not demultiplex stream. gstavidemux.c(3526): gst_avi_demux_stream_header_pull (): /GstPlayBin2lay/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0/GstDecodeBin2:decodebin20/GstAviDemux:avidemux0: pull_range flow reading header: unexpected
I figured that if I import it into Kino, then I should be able to edit just fine. Except, when I import it into Kino, the video just hangs on the first frame for the first half, and then plays the whole video at double the speed.Is there a better package that will take a lot of image files and export them into a movie file? Preferably one where I don't have to add each frame manually, as the demo I'm working with now has 5000+ frames.
I've finally found a way to actually stream .asx stuff using mplayer ( by extracting the actual link to the video from it ), and now I'd like to record it. In the asx, I've found a link to an .asf file, which I can stream using mplayer. How can I save this to view it locally?
I have two networked Ubuntu 10.40 machines and I am trying to stream audio from one machine to the other. I find on the surface everything works - I simply installed padevchooser and set the pulseaudio sink to the other machine. Now here comes the problem - whenever I do anything else involving network activity the sound crackles and hangs and it becomes hopeless. I've seen people elsewhere online complaining about crackling in relation to CPU usage but I can't find anyone talking about network usage.
In particular I often work on my office computers over VNC. I try to fire up VNC and it starts to load the remote desktop and the sound completely fails. I assume this is some kind of latency issue? Another good example is trying to watch a video on ..... - the sound plays at first but then as the video is being downloading in the background the stream starts to mess up. Listening to an mp3 in totem with no other network activity works fine.
I have a NAS set up (ubuntu server 10.04) which contains all my music. But when I play music from it, I can not see how long the song is and I can not skip to a specific time in the song. When I play video, all works well.
We are able to stream the video fine from while the flv file is located in the /var/videos/flv folder. We have a second volume that we formatted and mounted as /media/data/videos/flv. We have changed the path in the lighttpd config file to match this. When we play the video we are receiving:200, Stream not found, NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound, clip" "[Clip]"/media/data/videos/flv/test.flv".
