Re: Fastest and newest AVMultimedia ever...

Happy New Year. The new version brings MediathekView the update to 13.7.0, and yes there were again small bugs at MP3toCD. Have fun!

Re: Fastest and newest AVMultimedia ever...

New are the application gThumb, GParted, Shotcut in version 21.02.27 and the latest version of MediathekView. Within Caja there is a new option 'Open as administrator'. In the English version the language guide of Firefox follows new in English.

For ArchivistaBox there are new manuals (a good part fits also for AVMultimedia).

English: https://archivista.ch/e2/help
German https://archivista.ch/d2/help

P.S: Currently at osdn.net no files over 2 GByte can be uploaded, avmultimedia.iso is not available there. At sourceforge.net this problem does not exist.

Re: Fastest and newest AVMultimedia ever...

There is a new version for AVMultimedia with support for Apple file system, more information you can get here:

https://archivista.ch/cms/en/news/apples-welcome/

The same blog has a comparison of AVMultimedia to the Apple M1 (Mac Mini 2020). Conclusion: the M1 chip is not bad, but it cannot currently hold a candle to a fast Ryzen CPU (mobile or not).

One thing must be added here, however. Many Linux distributions are quite cumbersome compared to the Apple operating system. And even three years after the launch of AVMultimedia, I sometimes have the feeling that a simple Linux desktop like AVMultimedia unfortunately gets little attention. It still seems to me that Linux desktops are just not simple enough even in 2021. Therefore I invite all interested people to test AVMultimedia, because a Linux desktop in 2021 can't be simpler and yes, AVMultimedia doesn't need to shy away from a comparison to AppleOS. Not at all in terms of performance, and not in terms of simplicity either.

The AVMultimedia version suitable for ArchivistaBox 2021/VII is released. The changes are clear. With 'wakeonlan' the tool is ready to wake up AVMultimedia from deep sleep over the network, more here (at the end of the blog):

Updating the kernel (5.4.134 und 5.10.52) as a result of attack scenario via normal user privileges (CVE-2021-33909). The second vulnerability (CVE-2021-33910) does not affect AVMultimedia (as well as Devuan), since it only affects systems running SystemD.

Integration WLAN driver for D-Link DWA-182 Rev. D (kernel 5.10.x).

Re: Fastest and newest AVMultimedia ever...

What I forgot, of course, the keyring problem from 4.9.22 is fixed that affects all Devuan packages/distributions. That is, with the current release, of course, any packages can be installed later. Unfortunately, this is not the case with all previous versions, because the key expired as of September 2022. So, update is highly recommended.

Re: Fastest and newest AVMultimedia ever...

This year, work on AVMultimedia could only be progressed to a limited extent due to a stay abroad. A new version is now available with the 2023/XI release.

The programs LosslessCut, JDownloader2 and MediathekView have been updated. FreeTube is a new addition. Enjoy!

Please note: Currently osdn.net is not available for download. The problems with the hoster seem to have existed for some time.

Time will tell whether osdn.net will continue to be available for download. AVMultimedia can therefore currently be obtained via sourceforge.net/archivista (then select avmultimedia.iso)
