automatic dyndns client for Debian Etch?
Hello, It seems that the no-ip.org client I've been using for a few years now has stopped updating the account. I'm leaving for a few weeks in a couple of days and don't have time to investigate this too much, so I opened an account with dyndns.org and setup my home but all the packages I found for Debian Etch seem to be talking about ddns.nu (which is different?) or require manual invocation. Is there a simple daemon a-la the one provided for no-ip.org to keep my address up to date within a reasonable interval?

Re: automatic dyndns client for Debian Etch?
Try ddclient. A perl based client to update your dynamic IP address at DynDNS.com (or other dynamic DNS services such as Hammernode, Zoneedit or EasyDNS), thus allowing you and others to use a fixed hostname (myhost.dyndns.org) to access your machine. This client supports both the dynamic and (near) static services, MX setting, and alternative host. It caches the address, and only attempts the update if the address actually changes. Runs as a daemon too :) On Dec 15, 2007 2:41 PM, Amos Shapira [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, It seems that the no-ip.org client I've been using for a few years now has stopped updating the account.

Re: automatic dyndns client for Debian Etch?
I use dyndns, too, and am interested in the subject. Therefore, I fired up aptitude in my Debian Etch installation and found the following: v dyndns-client and packages which implement the above: ez-ipupdate ddclient Both of them seem to meet the requirements.

Re: automatic dyndns client for Debian Etch?
Hi, I'm using ddclient. My blog is sitting at one my servers at home and ddclient works like a charm by updating my dyndns account. I moved few months ago to another city and the DSL service here is worse then Tel Aviv so every few days the DSL disconnects and reconnects, and ddclient saved my day quite few times already. ddclient is very easy to configure, runs as a daemon, caches the results, mails you for any changes.

wmv in linux
hi i am a TAU student and want to watch the lectures i missed via video.tau.ac.il the site supports only MSIE, but i was able, by viewing the source using MSIE, to get the urls (mms) of the videos i tried playing it with mplayer or vlc, it seems it is wmv9. i could play the video, but not the audio the audio type is 0xA how can i play the audio ? (can i take DLLs from WMplayer and use with mplayer ? if so where to put them ?) another issue is, when using MSIE there is an option to play normal, fast or slow speed, without altering the pitch of the voice. however, downloading the file and using WMPlayer to play it, does not let me change the speed or even skip forward or backward the only other software i know that enables playing fast or slow without changing the pitch is mythtv's internal player but AFAIk, it does not play wmv9 i guess if i could play the audio with mplayer, i could use mencoder to transcode to a format mythtv player can play. so: 1. how can i play the audio ? 2. any linux software other then mythtv which can play faster or slower with voice, without changing the pitch ? thanks, erez.
WebServer on a standalone home router
Hi, I have a question about setting up a WebServer on a standalone Router at home , which is not connected to any machine (preferably LinkSys running OpenWRT or Tomato). I need that this WebServer will run only two small 2-3 static HTML pages. I have a DHCP IP from the ISP; After reading the last thread regarding ddclient and dyndns I assume that I should use one of these tools. Can it be done ? Does anybody have experience for such a configuration and can share his knowledge? I am looking for a step by step tutorial which will discuss what should be done to set a web server and set a dns address so that users from the intent could access that Web Server.

Re: wmv in linux
Hi Erez The audio format that you mention is weird. I don't know what you can do with that. The reason you can't do fast forward is because there is no index. Usually, mplayer allows you to do that if it has index. If you have downloaded the movie to your pc, you need to run the following command: mplayer -idx movie.wmv This will create an index and then play it.I think you can use for streaming -idx flag.

Re: automatic dyndns client for Debian Etch?
Triggered by this thread I have just setup an account on http://www.dyndns.com/ and installed the ddclient using aptitude. First it started to supply the IP address of my own computer but that's a NAT-ed address so I had to configure it to fetch the IP from my router. As ddclient does not support my Edimax router out of the box I had to look at the status page and find out how to fetch the Internet IP address from its web based management interface. I added the following to /etc/ddclient.conf and now it supplies the external IP of my home network to dyndns. fw-login=admin fw-password=*** fw=http://192.168.2.1/stanet.asp fw-skip=IP\s*Address\s*: As ddclient is a Perl script, let me remind you that the Israeli Perl Workshop will be on 31 December 2007 http://act.perl.org.il/ilpw2007/ regards Gabor -- Gabor Szabo http://www.szabgab.com/ Perl Training in Israel http://www.pti.co.il/ Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=key=82476 = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: wmv in linux
Hi Erez, You'll need the codec package to install on your machine (I think it should sit in /usr/lib/codecs or something), and then you could play the stream.

Re: wmv in linux
Hi, It really comes to behavior of the streaming server, if it tells the client what the file size is. If it is, then mplayer/xine should cope well and you can run forward and backward. If not, well, maybe the -idx switch in mplayer could help, but thats only works if you download the complete stream.

Re: WebServer on a standalone home router
Hi David, The idea that you mention could be done, although I don't recommend using the Apache on Linksys since it's pretty huge compared to the miminal amount of storage that you have on Linksys router. I suggest using some other tiny web servers and I'm sure the OpenWRT or Tomato have some packages for it. All you have to do is run ddclient with the settings to your Dyndns account, and maybe a simple iptable rule to forward your internet port 80 to the external DSL IP if I'm not mistaken. If it's only 2-3 static pages, why have all this hassle? stick those pages in google pages and redirect anyone that comes to your dyndns IP to those pages, this can be done externally without any services running at your home.

Re: wmv in linux
ok, just to make it clear although using MSIE (which uses Windows Media Player internally) i can jump forward, backward and so, and also if i stream with Windows media player. if i download the file first, and then use the same player (Windows Media Player) on the local file, i can not jump forward or backward. my problem with mplayer is not jumping forward and backward but the audio. My distribution is ubuntu gutsy 64bit. 'apt-cache search codec|grep -i win' didn't yield any result also, if anyone has experiance with how to make mplayer (or vlc, xine or any other linux player) to play faster with voice without changing the pitch, please let me know. the url in question is: mms://msvideo.tau.ac.il/Courses/Exact_Sciences/Physics/Quantum_Theory_1/1.wmv thanks, erez.

Re: wmv in linux
Hmm, and Xine? Xine is using the codecs exactly as mplayer uses, but I don't think there's an issue of xine 64 or xine 32, but I'm not sure about this.

Re: wmv in linux
Moreover, vlc comes with codec built in. And from vlc web site I don't see a special version for 32 or 64bit. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html On 12/16/07, Hetz Ben Hamo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hmm, and Xine?

That's how I got Firefox with Flash, Skype and other proprietary stuff to play nice on my amd64 Debian Etch. schroot makes this simpler to use. I think I heard that Debian Lenny has aligned with other distro's in this area and started providing i386 libraries in the amd64 version.
