Streaming Ubuntu to an Apple TV

While working on my project ScreenStudio to integrate HTTP Live Streaming, I realized that I could mirror my Ubuntu desktop on my Apple TV. The new feature will let user create their own streaming service on their website without relying on RTMP server. All is required is an FTP access to the hosting web server. Make sure to watch the video on Vid.me

ScreenStudio is available for Windows

ScreenStudio 3.0.6 for Windows is available. Consider this release as highly unstable and experimental. You can dowload the binaries from the main website in the Windows section. Make sure that Java 8 is installed on your Windows computer, unzip the archive and double-click on the ScreenStudio.jar file. It should work as for Ubuntu. Of course, a real installer will eventually be created. Please report any issues and if you are stuck, use the Task manager to kill ScreenStudio or FFMpeg if something goes wrong.

ScreenStudio: How to use tags

ScreenStudio lets you add text labels to your screencast quite easily. Just add a new Label and to edit, double-click on the label in the top list... You'll then see the text editor for the Labels. Beside having a lot of options to edit the content such has colours or even supporting the HTML tags, you can use some pre-defined tags to add some nice features to your stream or recording... The @CURRENDATE tag will display, you guessed it, the current date in your stream. The @CURRENTTIME will display the current time as you are recording and also update each seconds. With this tag, you can provide your local time to your viewers... The @RECORDINGTIME will show how much time has passed since you started your recording. This is a neat way to let your users know how much time has passed since the beginning. If you set a complete file URL, the content of that file will be displayed instead of the URL in your Label. This is great if your are using Twitch Alerts where stats are available in a local file.

Streaming live from the iPhone 7

As I was discovering the new game Oz: Broken Kingdom on my brand new iPhone 7, I found out that you could record your game or even stream live to Periscope. I did a few testings and the features of sharing the screen seems to be builtin iOS 10. As you can see (in french...), there is a menu (at the top right) to start a local recoding with the microphone and even the front camera. The feature is a bit unstable as it does not always work but a few updates should fix that. The interesting par is when iOS is asking our permission to enable the screen capture. It does indicate that eventually, it will be possible to stream games and app directly to Periscope, Twitch or Youtube... That could be the most anticipated feature that you can find on a mobile device...

What about my iPhone 7 after 2 days...

I was one of the lucky one to get my hands on a new iPhone 7 last Friday. When I say lucky, I mean that only two devices were shipped to my local Rogers reseller and I was chosen for one of them. I took the time to explore the new toy as I already had an iPhone 6. Basically, they look the same with a few differences... The buttons are a bit smaller on each side and the finish is as always very smooth. They both weight the same and have the same size. The only difference I could notice was the camera that is not exactly that the same place as the iPhone 6. They are so alike that the iPhone 7 does fit (almost) perfectly in the iPhone 6 case. I had to be creative and carve the camera hole to fit the iPhone 7. As you can see, the camera size is a bit larger, making, as always, great pictures. There is also the button that does not move at all, probably to support the 3D Touch features. As for the headphone jack, it's gone. The new iPhone 7 does come with a new headphones with a lightning connector. Don't worry, it also comes with an adapter so you can still use your "old and obsolete" headphones... ;) Overall, this is a great device, with some new features that are not essentials but does provide a great quality.

Is this a real deal?

My girlfriend was eating some Doritos tonight and this "25 more grams" caught my eye. After a bit of research, I found out that it does provide 20 more Doritos in the bag... Is it a deal or a steal? Let me know in the comments...
