ytplay – wrapper for youtube-dl.py
Due to my slightly outdated computer flash is a huge problem. So, for viewing youtube videos, youtube-dl.py is a great solution. However, I wanted something more comfortable.
ytplay wraps around youtube-dl.py, it searches for a video, orders youtube-dl to get it, and starts playing it in vlc.
Usage is simple:
> ytplay foobar
will search youtube for videos about foobar and play the first one found.
The code is still quite dirty, especially the subprocess part. However, it should work, have fun!
KFile, a simple download-link generator for WordPress
After finally finding a nice CMS to use for my homepage, I was searching for a simple plugin that lets me
- upload files manually using scp or other means from the command line
- display a nice link to the file, stating name, size etc. after adding a text like [file=foo.tar.bz2]
All I found were quite large plugins using databases, using quite elaborate administration front ends. So I started writing one myself.
Usage
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Create a directory wordpressurl/download (alternatively, change the constant in kfile.php)
- Upload files there
Synchronizing Digikam and NGG
This little script automatically generates the gallery on this site from the local digikam(kde 3) database. To accomplish that task, it looks for files tagged public, and uploads them if they aren’t already uploaded. It completely rewrites the ngg database, so don’t use this if yo have put effort into creating a database with the ngg frontend.
Pictures are resized locally using imagemagick, so it avoids problems with low memory on some shared servers.

Script to export Photos from Digikam to NGG

This program exports pictures from your
DigiKam (http://www.digikam.org/) database to a
NGG (http://alexrabe.boelinger.com/category/nextgengallery/) database.
It is at the moment highly experimental and in a works-for-me-right-now
state.
Be really really careful if trying to use it, it will
- determine which photos are tagged "public"
- upload them to a dir, kill everything in the target dir not tagged public
- rewrite the remote database
- automatically create thumbnails along the way
I don't know much about databases, so this code is quite inefficient. It
doesn't pose a big problem for my ~5k local, 100 remote photos, though
Once again, it *will* erase the remote directory, and possibly more.
NO WARRANTY!
