Freeseer

Windows support, Streaming video support via icecast, .deb packaging for Debian/Ubuntu, RPM packaging, Arch packaging, and a delayed recording option were added. A number of minor UI enhancements were made.

An SQLite database is used for managing video metadata. Video metadata is encoded into the video. Unique short file names are calculated from the metadata. Video metadata can be loaded from an RSS feed. Hotkeys were added for starting and stopping recording. Preparatory work was done for live streaming, Windows support, and Drupal integration. GUI enhancements were made, allowing filtering of talks by event or room.

This release removes the dependency on alsa-audio, and provides correct (minimal) package dependencies for Fedora/Ubuntu. Configuration data is now saved in ${HOME}/.freeseer/freeseer.conf. The list of talks (talks.txt) has moved to ${HOME}/.freeseer/. Videos are now saved in ${HOME}/Videos/. Some prep work for RM and deb packages has been done. There are better instructions for using vga2usb. This release adds a tool for transcoding to make the videos a manageable size for upload.
