3.6 - Corrected issues with determining terminal size in specific use cases. Added file encoding thanks to recommendation by LordKenmou. Fixed update script checker.

This script utilizes ffmpeg, the same tool Plex uses, to decode the video stream and captures the output for any errors during playback and sends the playback errors to a log file. So essentially it plays the video in the background faster than regular speed. It then checks the error output log file to see if there is anything inside. If ffmpeg was able to cleanly play the file, it counts as a passed file. If there is any error output, an error could be anything from a container issue, a missed frame issue, media corruption or more, it counts the file as failed. So if there would be an issue with playback and a video freezing, it would be caught by this method of checking for errors. Because of the nature of the error log, any errors that show up, even simple ones, will all count as a fail and the output is captured so you can view the error log. Some simple errors are easy to fix so I have included an auto-repair feature which attempts to re-encode the file which is able to correct some issues that would cau

How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

One of the best ways to reduce complexity (read: stress) in web development is to minimize the differences between your development and production environments. After being frustrated by attempts to unify the approach to SSL on my local machine and in production, I searched for a workflow that would make the protocol invisible to me between all environments.

Most workflows make the following compromises:

  • Use HTTPS in production but HTTP locally. This is annoying because it makes the environments inconsistent, and the protocol choices leak up into the stack. For example, your web application needs to understand the underlying protocol when using the secure flag for cookies. If you don't get this right, your HTTP development server won't be able to read the cookies it writes, or worse, your HTTPS production server could pass sensitive cookies over an insecure connection.

  • Use production SSL certificates locally. This is annoying
