Generic Monk posted:3) the default video player offers to download codecs for files it can't play. that's great, except they don't seem to work. had to copy a paragraph long list of packages into the terminal to get videos to play. we've been trying to fix this one for years. the issue is that one of fedora's principles is "freedom first" so we can't install all the codecs by default and instead have to shove them off to some other repo called "rpmfusion" which is supposedly only vaguely related to fedora for legal reasons (but in reality is also manned by red hat employees on fedora infrastructure) dumb

the inability to fix stuff like this and put some slight amount of nonfree software in the app store is one of the major reasons i left red hat. there's only so much you can do to make the experience suck less when ramming straight into a brick wall every time

We ship OpenH264 for Cisco's licensing, and a hardware implementation of H264 for our ARM product. The real big thing is AAC support which is software-only. Notorious b.s.d. posted:do they even operate in the united states? You will find out super soon.

demux is software, on ARM there's a simple esparser module which feeds directly into the hw video decoder. i'm currently in the middle of writing the drivers for it so i can talk a bit about the implementation if you want.

so the thing is that all you have to worry about is the pooled patents: mpeg la and via licensing. basically, as soon as you get to be a decent size without paying, they'll go after you. mpeg4 isn't covered by a patent pool, so you're fine & good

i am planning to switch my web server vps from ubuntu server, which it's been running since 2013, to centos, and upgrade it from 256mb to 512mb of ram. i'm also planning to switch from apache to nginx what do i need to know about ubuntu -> centos other than my old os was a pos (moospos)

ubuntu is upstart. centos 7 is systemd. you use yum instead of apt. all the configs will be in conf.d instead of sites-enabled. you will need to use php-fpm because whatever horrible php garbage you are presumably hosting will no longer have mod_php. also stop posting and gtfo

(other than the updates, which is so critical it can't wait for your learning curve.)

pram posted:you are mentally retarded lol. duhh install puppet on your one vm yes, definitely install puppet/chef on your one VM. they have local modes for specifically that purpose. the code you write to configure one VM is portable to 100 VMs, if you need that in the future. and even if you never need that, having the configuration version-controlled and written in a high-level language is invaluable
