@OliverSalzburg I'm under the assumption that the only dog allowed in this chat is @JourneymanGeek, no?

Say, in Windows, how do I give a program permissions? I know how to give myself or another user permissions, but how do you add Photoshop as a permission object. Or is Photoshop "me" when it comes to dealing with files?

Oliver Salzburg

@Ariane You can't give Photoshop permissions. The process inherits the permissions from the user that executed it

Ariane

00:15

@OliverSalzburg Understood. I'll give myself full control over the whole damned AppData Photoshop folder.

...I already do have full control.

Let's try the program folders.

Oliver Salzburg

Sounds wrong

Ariane

Okay, nothing works. I've got no time for this. I'll launch it as admin for now and find a solution some other time

@JourneymanGeek wow haha. Our first computer had a floppy, but we got one in 2001... so it was fairly modern already

our first computer was an xt clone (then 486, then PII, then PIV (x2), followed by a c2d - which we still use)

Simon Sheehan

@JourneymanGeek haha nice. We had an 800mhz Athlon actually, and a 7200RPM 40GB drive. So all my friends always like WOW YOUR COMPUTER IS SO FAST

I use my laptop for just superuser/daily stuff

@Mr.IDon'tCare Yea, my brother worked that out yesterday as well!

He was pretty happy.

Ariane

Can someone suggest an alternative to WinRAR?

Michael Frank

7zip?

7-zip.org

ugh...

Ariane

7zip can't handle .rar, I think.

Michael Frank

03:28

Of course it can!

Ariane

It can undo it, but not do it, apparently.

Michael Frank

That's right.

Journeyman Geek

/me is rather fond of xz

Ariane

There was something... I think I downloaded it at school because they have no archive utility beyond file explorer, and there was a format it couldn't handle, and I had to try another (which was annoying to use but did handle the format)

Journeyman Geek

has smaller compression sizes, and treads better.

Ariane

03:30

.tar.gz maybe ? Nope, not that.

Michael Frank

why do you need to compress into .rar?

Journeyman Geek

7zip extracts most of the common ones

Michael Frank

The only thing I don't like about 7zip is that you can't open images from within the archive

Ariane

@MichaelFrank Because sometimes people ask me for a .rar.

Michael Frank

And what is wrong with winRAR?

Journeyman Geek

03:34

its not free as in beer

Ariane

It gives annoying popups. That's about it. xD

Michael Frank

Okay, well according to this list: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_archivers#Writing

you're options are pretty limited...

ie. WinRAR or Betterzip.

And Betterzip is made for OS X and is also Trialware.

Ariane

Heh.

But really, is WinRAR making any profits? They offer their software for free and when the trial period ends all you have is "please buy" each time you use it.

Michael Frank

I'm sure there are lots of people that think "Hey, this software is useful. I think I'll buy it!"

Ariane

As a dirt-poor person those thoughts are unfathomable to me. :p

Michael Frank

03:40

Well, next time someone asks you for a .rar file, send then a .7z and the 7zip installer. :P

Ariane

Lol, I launched the installer for a free competitor, Izarc, mostly out of curiosity. There are 4 partner "bonus software", one of which you can't opt out of. Lol.

Michael Frank

Yea... their website has 3 download buttons on the home page, there's no way I would touch that software!

Sorry, make that 4.

Journeyman Geek

or a self extractable exe

Ariane

I was mainly curious because some top somewhere put it in #2, and how in contrast the website seemed more than shady.

Michael Frank

Pretty sure they are just making up file extensions.

"IZArc is the best free file compression utility supporting many archive formats like: 7-ZIP, A, ACE, ARC, ARJ, B64, BH, BIN, BZ2, BZA, C2D, CAB, CDI, CPIO,
DEB, ENC, GCA, GZ, GZA, HA, IMG, ISO, JAR, LHA, LIB, LZH, MDF, MBF, MIM, NRG, PAK, PDI, PK3, RAR, RPM, TAR, TAZ, TBZ, TGZ, TZ, UUE, WAR,
XPI, XXE, YZ1, Z, ZIP, ZOO. "

:P

Ariane

03:45

Not so sure. You come across such silly file extensions...

Journeyman Geek

what, no support for .potato?

Ariane

Lol.

Anyway, I'll leave you now. I have lots of urgent stuff that piled up while I was bitterly regretting my "smart" decision to upgrade to Windows 8.1 on the day of the release despite the work I had to do.

William Hilsum

Hi guys! Anyone from England able to give me a little help? I want to download this as a MP3 - bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01h47lg - but failing :( My brother was on the show for an hour and I want to keep a copy

Trying to use VLC, but, it seems transcoding and keeping it open for 3 hours is the only way :/ ... and not sure I am even doing it correctly as I suck at audio/video stuff...

Bob

@WilliamHilsum Do we have to be in England?

William Hilsum

I don't think Iplayer works abroad... if it does, feel free to help! :)

I can even give a proxy! I just need to save it! :)

barlop

10:58

@WilliamHilsum yeah

@WilliamHilsum i'll try it

listen now 180min berkshire.. the big speaker pic , i'll click that

as a start anyway, see if that works. What exactly do you want me to do?

William Hilsum

I am just trying to save as a mp3

I just found this ... woodygems.wordpress.com/2013/07/04/… ... looking now

barlop

just tried streamtransport but it didn't see it

Bob

@WilliamHilsum Seems to work just fine in Aus

William Hilsum

that is flash... I already found a site that gives me the mms:// stream, but, I think I got the transcoding settings wrong

Windows Media Audio

URL to global Windows Media ASX playlist (UK or international):
http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/4/asx/p01h47lq/iplayer_intl_stream_wma

mms://wm-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms/england/radioberkshire/aod/mon_1300.wma

From : http://www.iplayerconverter.co.uk/convert.aspx

That's how I got the mms:// links

It looks like what I did on VLC did work, but, it is very noisy/low quality... I even saved as FLAC thinking that would be best :/

Bob

oooohhh... trying now :) Thanks!

just worried as I think there is only a few hours before they will bring the program down

Bob

@WilliamHilsum you'll need to install rtmpdump

yea, it says 4 hours

@WilliamHilsum That site seems more than a little outdated :(

what's this crap about MS-DOS PIF shortcuts? O.O

barlop

a link mentioned- mplayer mms://url -dumpstream -dumpfile foo.wmv

so just trying mplayer mms://wm.bbc.co.uk/wms/england/radioberkshire/aod/mon_1300.wma -dumpstream -dumpfile foo.wma

@WilliamHilsum it looks like it's getting busy Connected

I am coming up with random issues :( I have a flac, just annoying as it is low quality/noisy and you can't skip... The show is on for 3 hours and my brother is on at 2h-3h! :(

barlop

ah mplayer said "stream not seekable"

William Hilsum

Trying a second MP3 download now with VLC, but, honestly, not sure what I am doing :/

barlop

11:20

neither am I.. but maybe you need to convert it somehow to make it seekable.

i've got an idea.. the mplayer line downloaded just a scrap of it, and i see it's not seekable, but that makes an easy thing to work with..

Bob

@WilliamHilsum Success!

get-iplayer -g --type=radio --pid p01h47lg

barlop

is it seekable?

Bob

it's going it's going

barlop

ge.tt/3vY5lqv/v/0 <-- here is 28 seconds wma file, not seekable. if this is convertable, then you can convert the whole thing once downloaded. that was done with that mplayer line I mentioned.

Bob

it's downloading as FLV though

WARNING: ffmpeg does not exist - not converting flv file

barlop

11:23

@Bob my mplayer line downloaded it as wma

Bob

Download complete

now where the hell did it put it?

barlop

it the 28sec clip seekable

C:\>ffmpeg -i foo.wma -acodec libmp3lame -vcodec libx264 foo.mp4

so that would work on the whole thing

Bob

@WilliamHilsum Got it. It works.

William Hilsum

wooot! it works!? I am trying this - infradead.org/get_iplayer/html/get_iplayer.html - I'll stop it if you have it! :)

Bob

@WilliamHilsum You can either use the get-iplayer line from above or download it off my server here

it's 104MB, FLV

barlop

11:30

@Bob but would still need to be converted to seekable wouldn't it?

Bob

@barlop well, the stream gets interrupted several times - get-iplayer retried, while mplayer gives up

William Hilsum

@Bob Downloading thanks... Looks funky webserver! :)

Bob

just go with what works :P

William Hilsum

get iplayer's web interface is funky...

Bob

@WilliamHilsum huh, that link is my webserver

I already ran get-iplayer via command line, which downloaded to a file I've now hosted :P

William Hilsum

11:33

@Bob ajax explorer, nice! :) I need to get a good setup here so I can give people links and stuff!

thanks... well... no time to listen for 2 hours, but, I guess it is there and the quality is nice, so, thanks so much for your help

and barlop, thanks for your help as well

Bob

@barlop get-iplayer can't seem to find the wma or mp3 streams, unfortunately

so, yea. either live with flv, convert it, or try mplayer :P

barlop

@Bob what msg did you get when mplayer got interrupted such that you knew it was getting interrupted?

Bob

@barlop huh, I haven't tried - I thought you said it was interrupted?

barlop

no I don't think I said that

Bob

oh, unless you manually interrupted it?

barlop

11:36

I did download and after about 2min I did ctrl-c. played it. saw it's not seekable . mplayer said it's not seekable. and I converted it in ffmpeg to mp4 so it's searchable.

Bob

> the mplayer line downloaded just a scrap of it

barlop

right, I interrupted it manually to test playing it and converting it and seeing if it worked and it did.

Bob

@barlop ah, right, I misunderstood, sorry

@WilliamHilsum let me know when you have it - I should probably reclaim that space

actually, never mind - 80% free :P

barlop

how big is the file?

Bob

@barlop 104MB

the server only has 15GB, but I haven't really used it much recently

@barlop mplayer seems far slower

barlop

11:39

yeah you're right... like 4MB so far and i've been running it for a while

Bob

I started a minute ago and it's only gotten 500kB so far

200 mins is a bit too long :\

barlop

i guess for 4MB anyway, it just shows me the amount in bytes and i'm trying to do the math, i can't see where it stores it while it downloads

Bob

looks like it might be recording it in realtime

not actually downloading

barlop

where is it storing it and with what name?

Bob

dunno, I'm just looking at the bytes written

barlop

11:40

i'll grab process monitor!

Bob

@barlop => mplayer 11705 root 6w REG 144,242 1601536 35007574 /root/foo.wma

Journeyman Geek

eww, you're running it as root

Bob

@JourneymanGeek yes :P

Journeyman Geek

HERETIC

Bob

this server is due a reimage anyway

barlop

11:43

and how big is foo.wma?

Journeyman Geek

alas

Bob

> 1601536

Journeyman Geek

looks like I won't be hitting exactly 55 555 rep

barlop

I checked with process monitor, my foo2.wma (that I called it) is 0 bytes

Bob

same as the size mplayer says in bytes written at the time

we can downvote you a bit if it helps?

barlop

11:44

i mean.. I don't recall actually what output file i specified in the cmd prompt.. But process monitor says it's writing to foo2.wma

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: lol. Or I can downvote a bit, I guess

Bob

@barlop 7 mins and only 2.5MB

I'm gonna cancel

this is ridiculous

barlop

more ridiculous is my foo2.wma is 0 bytes

though process monitor says it is writing to it

What did you use to show you what file mplayer was writing?

Bob

@barlop there's any number of possible reasons, and it's not really a problem

could be caching somewhere

using a temp file

etc.

@barlop lsof | grep mplayer, but I'm on Linux

barlop

well, process monitor should really show me where it's caching

Bob

11:47

@barlop if a temp file, yes. if in memory, no

it's perfectly possible that it only flushes to disk after X bytes

barlop

lsof shows disk though right?

7MB so far , process monitor shows writes to the file. though the file is 0 bytes.

Bob

@barlop it's possible the file size in the metadata isn't updated until the file is closed

barlop

unfortunately there is no lsof listed in cygwin's list of packages.

Bob

lsof just lists open handles and sockets anyway

barlop

@Bob was it showing a handle or a socket there?

Bob

11:49

file handle

barlop

a handle i guess

Journeyman Geek

anyone with less scruples than me want some free rep? superuser.com/questions/663095/…

barlop

and if the file is closed, lsof doesn't apply?

Bob

there was a TCP socket just above it for the location it was downloading from :P

barlop

oh so both, impressive.

Braiam

btw, I was sure that uninstalling pressing the "Uninstall" button when selecting an app should have really uninstall it... not bring up another window... is retarded :(

William Hilsum

weather seems to be ok for me

store... don't really use it :/

barlop

12:04

@bob @WilliamHilsum mplayer one has now downloaded it, it is about 30MB!

was the get-iplayer one 100MB?

or maybe 15MB ge.tt/2PwUwqv/v/0

dunno if that's the whole thing, it might be!

and that's seekable

15,891,920 foo2.mp4 <--- seekable
11,836,966 foo2.wma <-- not seekable

Who uses Microsoft Silverlight here? Do you like it? It came bundled with my Windows 7.

William Hilsum

@Boris_yo It's dead

Boris_yo

@Hennes "This is where TRIM comes in. With TRIM support, the delete command actually tells the drive to erase all of the data associated with a file, rather than just the index information. The SSD erases the blocks where the file was stored immediately (or very shortly thereafter), so that the next write can immediately write the data, rather than having to cache-erase-write."

What if one block stores other files as well that should not be deleted? I do not see how TRIM would not perform cache-erase-write here.

William Hilsum

it is/was great, much better than flash for some things, but, it has already been discontinued and people who use it are moving away from it

barlop

in what ways was it better than flash?

Boris_yo

@WilliamHilsum Defunct?

William Hilsum

13:32

it works, but, support will end very soon

Boris_yo

@WilliamHilsum That's weird because I thought Silverlight is a suite of tools for office work. I remember how I clicked on Silverlight icon and was offered menu to choose which tools I want to work in. I think it also offered offline blogging platform where you could write and publish posts online to your blog.

William Hilsum

Microsoft Silverlight

Microsoft Silverlight is an application framework for writing and running rich Internet applications, with features and purposes similar to those of Adobe Flash. The run-time environment for Silverlight is available as a plug-in for web browsers running under Microsoft Windows and OS X. While early versions of Silverlight focused on streaming media, current versions support multimedia, graphics, and animation, and give developers support for CLI languages and development tools. Silverlight is also one of the two application development platforms for Windows Phone, but web pages which use ...

Boris_yo

@WilliamHilsum It's like framework for development of different apps in it?

William Hilsum

no

it is just the framework

e.g. flash has flash professional for programming and flash as the plugin

silverlight is the plugin... Visual Studio, Blend and a few other tools are for programming in Silverlight

@Bob what was the duration on your 100MB file?

mplayer's was about 11MB 30min wma(same format as original). ffmpeg could make that a 15MB mp3. But since yours was 100MB I'm wondering if it was much longer duration?
