Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Openframe VLC extension

This extension adds VLC support to Openframe. It uses the VLC that is pre-installed on Raspian.

It supports a lot of formats. For example:

  • most video files
  • most image files: Beware, there are a few known problems with images. Read further below.
  • most audio files
  • Youtube / Vimeo URLs
  • just try it probably works!

It also supports streaming. Large videos play straight away and don't need to be downloaded first.

Installation

First, follow the Openframe guide on how to set up an Openframe and to display artwork: http://docs.openframe.io/frame-setup-guide/

Then, run the following command: openframe -i openframe-vlc

How to upload artwork (or whatever you like to display)?

In the web app

  1. Click Add Artwork
  2. Make sure you give your artwork a title
  3. Use openframe-vlc as artwork format
  4. Enter the URL of what you like to display into the field URL where the artwork is hosted.
  5. Optionally enter a URL to a preview image of the sketch which is especially useful if you like to publish your artwork.
  6. Click Add artwork.

To display the artwork on the frame, select the artwork by clicking the push to frame button.

Known problems

  • Animated GIFs are unsupported yet: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/6697
  • If Openframe is started via SSH, images are displayed on the terminal instead of the main display. Videos are okay in all cases. Images are okay if Openframe is started on directly the machine running Openframe.
  • Images don't keep their aspect ratio but are stretched to the entire screen.
    • Might be related to: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/22128 and https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=148898&p=490613&hilit=raspberry+pi+image#p490613. The issue only appeard on a specific Raspberry Pi version. They fixed it by getting another version of the Pi. According to the thread it works fine on a Pi 3B+. I was testing with a Pi 3B.
    • I've done some tests with --croppadd-crop and --croppadd-padd options. Might be possible to work around it using that.

Todo

  • Options:
    • fill / fit
    • loop / no-loop
    • …
  • install VLC if not already installed on the system
