+ <p>When running a TV station with both broadcast and web stream
+distribution, it is useful to know that the stream is working. As I
+am involved in the Norwegian open channel
+<ahref="http://www.frikanalen.no/">Frikanalen</a> as part of my
+activity in the <ahref="http://www.nuug.no/">NUUG member
+organisation</a>, I wrote a script to use mplayer to connect to a
+video stream, pick two images 35 seconds apart and compare them. If
+the images are missing or identical, something is probably wrong with
+the stream and an alarm should be triggered. The script is written as
+a Nagios plugin, allowing us to use Nagios to run the check regularly
+and sound the alarm when something is wrong. It is able to detect
+both a hanging and a broken video stream.</p>
+
+<p>I just uploaded the code for the script into the
+<a href="https://github.com/Frikanalen/frikanalen/blob/master/nagios-plugin/check_video_stream_images">Frikanalen
+git repository</a> on github. If you run a TV station with web
+streaming, perhaps you can find it useful too.</p>
+
+<p>Last year, the Frikanalen public TV station transformed into using
+only Linux based free software to administrate, schedule and
+distribute the TV content. The
+<a href="https://github.com/Frikanalen">source code for the entire TV
+station</a> is available from the Github project page. Everyone can
+use it to send their content on national TV, and we provide both a web
+GUI and <a href="http://beta.frikanalen.tv/api/">a web API</a> to
+<a href="http://beta.frikanalen.tv/login/?next=/members/video/">add</a>
+and <a href="http://beta.frikanalen.tv/members/plan/">schedule
+content</a>. And thanks to last weeks developer gathering and
+following activity, we now have the schedule
+<a href="http://beta.frikanalen.tv/xmltv/2015/01/01">available as
+XMLTV</a> too. Still a lot of work left to do, especially with the
+process to add videos and with the scheduling, so your contribution is
+most welcome. Perhaps you want to set up your own TV station?</p>

<p>Det kan jo være en ide for å skripte uthenting i fremtiden, hvis en
vil vedlikeholde listen over kunstnere i Wikipedia.</p>
+<p>Oppdatering 2015-02-08: Ble tipset om at Wikipedia vedlikeholder en
+liste over kunstnere som har laget verk som faller i det fri i mange
+land, en for hvert år. Sjekk de som er i listene for
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_in_public_domain">2014</a>
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_in_public_domain">2015</a>
+og
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_in_public_domain">2016</a>.
+Det er et visst overlapp, men det mangler noen i listen fra SNL i
+lista til Wikipedia. Men jeg synes det er veldig nyttig å se at det
+er flere som er interessert i å bidra med å spore opp allemanseide
+verk. Litt underlig at listen ikke vedlikeholdes automatisk, når en
+ser hva dbpedia kan gjøre med innholdet i Wikipedia.</p>
