Hi All,

I started a new series about python on showmedo. Please feel free to
take a look. They are as follows:

virtualenv
pastescript
nosetests
coverage

Here is the link:

Tutorial materials can be found at http://pythontutorials.googlecode.com

cheers.

I'd love to, but showmedo refuses to show presentations to me without
installing non-free software.

mplayer works just fine on the .flv's.

Note that "works with mplayer" is not the same thing as "doesn't
require non-free software"; many "works with mplayer" stories have the
unspoken addendum of "... with these non-free codec libraries
installed". But, not having the video files, I can't say whether
that's the case in this instance.

Okay. Where would the public link to those files be?

If I need to "log in" just to download it, that's a needless barrier
that's going to turn me away too.

I believe .flv is entirely handled by ffmpeg.

Yes, you do need to log in. If you don't want to do it, that's fine. I certainly
don't care.

Thanks.

No problem.

I hope the OP, who wanted people to see his videos, does care enough
to put them somewhere people can get them without needless barriers.

The URL for the flv is:

http://videos1.showmedo.com/ShowMeDos/2910000.flv

I hope the presenter doesn't mind, but it is quite simple to discover
using open source tools like firebug. As for playing back flvs with free
software, there is Gnash -- an open source flash player --

Thanks, that works, and GStreamer (via Totem) plays it fine.

Which leads one to wonder why they don't just present that URL for
download instead of behind a "log in" gate. And how long that will be
possible before they break it +IBQ- presumably the site admins put that
barrier there for a reason.

It appears that the url would be difficult to change; it appears to be
mapped to a database:

http://showmedo.com/videos/video?name=2910000+ACY-fromSeriesID=291

notice the "name" is the same in this URL and the flv.
