Com descarregar els videos de la lliga del mundo i pujar-los al youtube

La gent de "El Mundo" i de "El Pais" han arribat a un acord amb "Audiovisual Sport" per penjar els videos de la lliga a les webs de les seves edicions electroniques.

elpais.com encara ha ocultat una mica el video, pero elmundo.es ha possat el flv molt accesible i es facilment baixable.

Nomes cal fer un "Ver codigo fuente" de la pagina del video (per exemple aquesta)

Busquem la part de la crida al flash:


var Parametros = "?nombreArchivo=/cr4ip/ES/videos/futbol/lfp/2006-2007/20/vil_rma/index.flv&fotograma=/elmundo/videos/futbol/lfp/2006-2007/20/vil_rma/index_0.jpg&anchoVideo=384&altoVideo=288" + nuevos_parametros; // Parametros que se le pasan al swf
if ( typeof(JSIncludePubli) != "undefined")
{
EscribeReproductorFlash(ArchivoFlash, Parametros, Ancho, Alto);
}

Nomes cal agafar l'adreça de ?nombreArchivo=X.flv i afegir-li davant

http://estaticos.elmundo.es

Aixi, en aquest cas la url del flv seria algo aixi com http://estaticos.elmundo.es/cr4ip/ES/videos/futbol/lfp/2006-2007/20/vil_rma/index.flv


Aqui ja podem provar el video amb algun software de visualitzacio de FLVs (com el FLV Player)

Despres nomes cal agafar un software de traduccio de FLV a AVI com el SUPER

Transformar el video i ja es pot penjar tranquilament de youtube.

Evidentment, no ho fare, i aquest tutorial no preten que ningu ho faci i violi els SAGRATS drets d'autor de AudioVisualSport

Bug in animateClass jquery extension

If you have tried to use the excellent animateClass extension to jquery maybe you have found that doesn't work in IE.

For example this sample code changes dynamically a h1 element from class "inicial" to class "final" producing a nice transition animation when you enter the page.


<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('#titolseccio').animateClass('final', 500);
});
</script>

With this release of animateClass (January 2007) this example only works in some browsers (particularly Firefox, the most popular in the developers community), but fails in Internet Explorer 6 and 7 (shamefully the most broadly used by the rest of the mortals (including customers))

You can solve this particular problem patching the animateClass.js

You have to download the uncompressed version of animateClass.js and look for a line like this:

if( typeof newStyle[n] != "function" && newStyle[n] /* No functions and null properties



and add this two conditions:

&& typeof newStyle[n] != "boolean" && typeof newStyle[n] != "number"


Resulting in this line:

if( typeof newStyle[n] != "function" && typeof newStyle[n] != "boolean" && typeof newStyle[n] != "number" && newStyle[n] /* No functions and null properties */


Now you can save your patched version of animateClass.js and reload your html page in Explorer (remember to Shift+Reload to avoid cached .js confusions)

The explanation of the problem is that javascript IE doesn't allow you to use string functions (like replace) on booleans and numbers, causing an unhandled exception.

Watch Out, this is not a generic patch, I'll warn the animateClass developer to patch it properly. For example, with this patch, you will not be able to animate any number CSS value (in the example the animation is from "20px" to "40px" the px makes it a string value, not a number).

How to look for long running pages in the Apache Logs using awk

In this tutorial we will learn how to look for pages, that takes 3 or more seconds to be served by Apache.

Usually the slow pages will be some sort of dynamic ones (PHPs, ASPs, Servlets or JSPs) because the static html pages take very short time to be served.

This procedure can help you in find some bottlenecks in your dynamic web application.

First step, change your Apache configuration

Locate your httpd.conf usually located in the $APACHE_HOME/conf directory

Edit the file (vi powa) and change the format of the Log File, adding a %T at the end.

Example:
from:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" common
to:
LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b %T" common

Restart your apache server

go to $APACHE_HOME/bin ./apachectl stop and ./apachectl start

Now, if you locate the log file and take a look on the output (tail -f access_log) you can see the last column is the time taken in seconds to serve the page.

Example:

555.254.999.71 - omatech [12/Jan/2007:12:12:47 +0100] "GET /omatech/rulez/pk_microcalls.view_tralari_tralara?p_user_logged_id=1&p_load_id=07 HTTP/1.1" 200 3713814 4
555.254.999.71 - omatech [12/Jan/2007:12:38:35 +0100] "GET /omatech/rulez/pk_microcalls.view_ekipoja?p_user_id=1&p_type=C&p_cust=739 HTTP/1.1" 200 73793 5


In the above example, the first request have taken 4 seconds, and the second 5 seconds.

Extract the long duration requests with awk

This is the tricky one, you must use awk to extract the requests that takes more than 3 seconds, this step is useful because you eventually will have lots and lots of requests that take 0 seconds.


awk '/[^0-2]$/ {print $0}' access_log


This line uses awk to parse the file and extract the lines that DO NOT ends with 0, 1, or 2.

The [^] is for negation, the 0-2 is the range, and the $ stands for "at the end of the line"

I hope it will be useful
