Keep a copy of the raw Youtube FLV,MP4,etc stored in /tmp/

Certain Flash video players (e.g. Youtube) write their video streams to disk in /tmp/ , but the files are unlinked. i.e. the player creates the file and then immediately deletes the filename (unlinking files in this way makes it hard to find them, and/or ensures their cleanup if the browser or plugin should crash etc.) But as long as the flash plugin's process runs, a file descriptor remains in its /proc/ hierarchy, from which we (and the player) still have access to the file. The method above worked nicely for me when I had 50 tabs open with Youtube videos and didn't want to have to re-download them all with some tool.

lsof -n -P|grep FlashXX|awk '{ print "/proc/" $2 "/fd/" substr($4, 1, length($4)-1) }'|while read f;do newname=$(exiftool -FileModifyDate -FileType -t -d %Y%m%d%H%M%S $f|cut -f2|tr '\n' '.'|sed 's/\.$//');echo "$f -> $newname";cp $f ~/Vids/$newname;done

Add an audio soundtrack to a series of images to create an flv

Creates a 5 minute flv file, with the given sequence of images and audio with 0.5 fps. The images were created using the following command: for x in `seq 0 300`; do cp ../head.PNG head-`printf '%03d' $x`.png; done You can also inject metadata to seek easier using yamdi as follows: yamdi -i muxed.flv -o video.flv Show Sample Output

ffmpeg -t 300 -r '0.5' -i head-%03d.png -i ../TvQuran.com__144.mp3 -acodec copy muxed.flv

Grab all .flv files from a webpage to the current working directory

I wanted all the 'hidden' .flv files from the http link in the command line; wget seemed appropriate, fed with output from lynx, grep the flv files and the normalised via sed (to remove the numeric bullet). Similar to the 'Grab mp3 files' fu. Replace link with your own, grep arg with something more interesting ;) See here for something along the same lines... http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/1006/grab-mp3-files-from-your-favorite-netcasts-mp3blog-or-sites-that-often-have-good-mp3s Hope you find it useful! Improvements welcome, naturally.

convert all files in a dir of a certain type to flv

This converts all m4a files in a dir to flv. You can just swap the m4a bit to anything else ffmpeg supports though, and it'll work.

for f in *.m4a; do ffmpeg -i "$f" "${f%.m4a}.flv"; done

Use heading subtitle file as watermark using mencoder

Create subtitle file heading.ssa with just one entry for the entire video duration. Command line sets that entry's text on top of the video as text watermark. If text is an URL works nice for sending people back to your site from a YouTube clip. Output file is lossless encoded and suitable for further processing. Subtitle file can be a URL so it's saved remotely.

Dumping Audio stream from flv (using ffmpeg)

Gives stereo, 16bit, 44.1kHz (default in Ubuntu/Medibuntu ffmpeg). -aq 2 = 220-250kbit/s VBR, lower number is better quality. 2 or 3 should be good for most people. If you want the best mp3 q you should remove -aq and use -ab 320k to get 320kbit/s, but that is probably overkill for most .flv videos.

check open ports without netstat or lsof

Geolocate a given IP address

Defines a function to geolocate a given IP address; if none supplied, will default to your external IP address.

list files recursively by size

python - covert image to base64 string for data URI use

useful if you are using lots of data URI's in your css files

Better recursive grep with pretty colors... requires ruby and gems (run: "gem install rak")

Find usb device in realtime

Using this command you can track a moment when usb device was attached.

finding more large files

remove recursively all txt files with number of lines less than 10

Copy ssh keys to user@host to enable password-less ssh logins.

To generate the keys use the command ssh-keygen

Enter parameter if empty (script becomes interactive when parameters are missing)

Can be used for command line parameters too. If you have a more complicated way of entering values (validation, GUI, ...), then write a function i.e. EnterValue() that echoes the value and then you can write: $ param=${param:-$(EnterValue)}
