Yes for the username. The command will prompted for the SSH password, unless SSH authentication keys have been configured. You can specify the username if it needs to be different.

Is executing the rsync between two systems here assumed that on both systems you have the accounts with the same names and passwords?

Nice artice. I’ve just written an article on watermarking pictures that explains a bit more details on watermarking and might be helpful to people. – http://www.pc-freak.net/blog/how-to-place-digitally-watermark-a-picture-to-protect-it-with-copyright-image-or-text-with-composite-convert-and-phatch-on-linux-watermark-pictures-to-prevent-your-copyright-infringement/ – The script is quite helpful. Thx

Comment on Strip All Unwanted MP3 ID3 Tags by MrYoda

Thanks so much! A minor tweak was needed with the awk commands (needed some ticks around the -F options). What a time saver as the script was 99% ready to go for me. I needed this to strip out all the unneeded ID3 tags for use in my car, which only displays artist, album, title/song, and genre. My car (Mini Cooper with USB/iPod option) was choking on all my music and I realized it was due to the 25GB+ of songs with so many unneeded tags. The mini stores 20,000 data points and with more than 4,000 songs and an average of 8 tags per, I was killing the car… anyway thanks because this SOLVED MY PROBLEMS! (For example these tags where stripped from my MP3s, imagine how much space it was taking in my car’s buffer… APIC COMM GEOB MCDI PCNT PRIV TBPM TCOM TCOP TDRC TENC TIPL TLEN TMCL TMED TOFN TOWN TPE2 TPE3 TPOS TPUB TRCK TSOP TSRC UFID).

Comment on MP3 Tag Editing in Linux by Paul

Paul — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:20:06 +0000

Reviving an ancient post here, but just for the next Googler who comes along: Puddletag is probably the best I’ve found as a graphical editor (lets you customise which tags to show, etc). It’s a bit clunky in parts but then, so are they all. It’s just the LEAST clunky. :)

For command-line, eyeD3 is fine. Another option is mid3v2, Mutagen’s reimplementation of id3lib’s id3v2 to add id3v2.4 support. The output’s a little bit more readable (by both human and machine) than eyeD3 IMHO.

The id3.v1 problem can be fixed using id3v2 using the -s option

It’s in the same directory as mencoder.exe. For some that may be: c:\mplayer\mplayer\.

Comment on Extract Audio from Video Files to WAV using FFmpeg by gmendoza

gmendoza — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 17:12:26 +0000

Hey there! You need to compile FFmpeg with opencore-amr support. FFmpeg as it’s compile on your system does not know how to decode your audio stream. The following two lines from your output can help you when troubleshooting other scenarios.

Input #0, amr, from ‘sound2.3gp’:
…
Decoder (codec id 73728) not found for input stream #0.

See this post to enable opencore-amr support:

What a waste of the authors time! A simple image displaying the watermark would have helped a reader judge the outcome. I have to skip this article sorry.
