It is an open channel, allowing everyone +in Norway to publish videos on a TV channel with national coverage. +You can think of it as Youtube for national television. +In addition to distribution on RiksTV and Uninett, Frikanalen is also +available as a Kodi addon. The last few days I have updated the code +to add more features. A +<a href="https://kodi.tv/addon/plugins-video-add-ons/frikanalen-nett-tv">new +and improved version 0.0.3 Frikanalen addon</a> was just made +available via the Kodi repositories. This new version include a +option to browse videos by category, as well as free text search +in the video archive. It will now also show the video duration in the +video lists, which were missing earlier. A new and experimental +link to the HD video stream currently being worked on is provided, for +those that want to see what the <a href="https://casparcg.com/">CasparCG</a> +output look like. The alternative is the SD video stream, generated +using MLT. CasparCG is controlled by our +<a href="https://github.com/Frikanalen/mltplayout/">mltplayout +server</a> which instead of talking to mlt is giving PLAY instructions +to the CasparCG server when it is time to start a new program.</p> + +<p>By now, you are probably wondering what kind of content is being +played on the channel. These days, it is filled with technical +presentations like those from <a href="https://www.nuug.no/">NUUG</a>, +<a href="https://www.debconf.org/">Debconf</a>, Makercon, and TED, +but there are also some periods with +<a href="https://www.empo.no/">EMPT TV</a> and +<a href="https://www.p7.no/">P7</a>. + +<p>As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my +activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address +<b><a href="bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b">15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b</a></b>.</p> + + + Time for an official MIME type for patches? http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Time_for_an_official_MIME_type_for_patches_.html
