ytffmpeg-1.1.0 released!

The wait is finally over! ytffmpeg-1.1.0 is now available! This comes with a few new features and some tested workflows that streamline activities around video creation, subtitle generation and now with the ability to post the results to an SFTP endpoint!

What is ytffmpeg?

ytffmpeg is a python project that was put together to automate workflows when it comes to video editing, subtitle generation and video composition. I refuse to pay for software on a license like Adobe Illustrator. Most of the awesome video editors out there were made specifically for a Mac or Windows and have little to no support for Linux. OpenShot-QT crashes too consistently to be used reliably. Also, personally, I find the GUI-version of video editing to be quite distasteful. It just doesn't seem like I can get the level of precision on a frame-by-frame basis like I can get with ffmpeg. Being able to drill down to the very frame of the video and make perfect cuts every time rather than a slider (try editing a 10-min video in-app on TikTok -- big fingers, tiny buttons). Kdenlive became slow and would crash when editing videos >~8mins...

Also, with my background in CloudOps/DevOps, I became accustomed to the idea of using configuration files to describe the final result.

ytffmpeg was designed to be simple enough to get started and making videos quickly, but also allow for the depth and complexity one may desire or need from more advanced operations. By having the full power of ffmpeg at your fingertips, but not necessarily requiring to learn all of the filters available in ffmpeg, let alone the chain of filters you sometimes have to put together because you changed one property of a video snippet. For example, having to reset the presentation timestamp of a snippet before concatenating a few streams together, or resetting the sample aspect ratio after scaling or cropping content. If that sounds complicated, don't worry -- ytffmpeg will take the rough edges off for you in due time with its simple configuration, I plan to make data structures take the place of the complex filter graphs to help you better visualize the results of your project.

Video Guide Text Guide Intro MineXMR is shutting down! What are we going to do?! OMG! Greetings and welcome to Kizano's FinTech where I teach you from zero to master in IT and DevOps. Nothing in this video is financial advice since I'm not a financial advisor. I'm an IT guy who's going to teach you some technical details about Monero as a service in Linux, the p2pool software to run the mining pool side chain and xmrig, some mining software that's required in order to start mining. Also, I trust you know the laws of your local juristiction. This is for education and information purposes only. If you're running short on time, feel free to use the timestamps below so you can get what you need and be on your day. If you found this helpful, it would be very grateful if you slapped that like button on your way out to ensure this video shows up at the top of search results for others seeking answers to the same questions I'm about to answer in this video.

Build xmrig on Linux

Hi all, So, I am getting into the crypto-mining space a bit and I wanted to share a few things I've learned. This whole experience has been teaching me a lot as of late! In this post, we'll be talking about xmrig what it is and how to compile it on Linux. I'm going to skip the wallet and other details as I wanted this post to be as context-specific and straight to the point as possible. Let's dive right in. What is xmrig??? My take on this is xmrig is a swiss army knife of a mininig tool that can be used for many algorithms and various coins. I mostly found and used this to mine Monero (XMR), so we'll take that as an example. xmrig supports both CPU and GPU minining, but not all algorithms are CPU- or GPU- friendly. Some are specific to either, so be mindful of what you are doing when you are setting this up. Let's dive into the build and running instructions and examples. Building xmrig I happen to be using d...

Pulseaudio: Multi-User Setup

Hello and welcome to my blog. If you are finding this page, then you might be in a similar situation I found myself when I wanted to share audio with different apps if they were being used by different user accounts on your local *nix machine when using Pulse audio. Credits to Eli Billauer and Dhole for the configuration directives I needed to make this possible. The Problem I have multiple user accounts on my system that run various apps, like my web browser, chat apps, email and more. I don't like everything running as myself and try to create a user account with just enough privileges to do what it needs to do. Pulseaudio (herein "Pulse") runs as myself when my desktop environment starts. Apps that run normally need to connect to Pulse in some fashion in order to listen to the microphone or play audio on the speakers. When the apps all run as the logged in user, this works great. When the apps run as someone else, this doesn't work or is inconsistent...
