I made good on my claim that I would create an RSS feed<\/a> for the samples repository. <\/p>\n

Here is the link to the samples RSS feed [ http:\/\/samples.mplayerhq.hu\/samples-rss.xml ].<\/a><\/strong> Also, here is the Python source code I threw together<\/a> for the task.<\/p>\n

I just want to check: I’m not the only person who still relies on RSS these days, right? The tech press has been cheerfully proclaiming its demise for some time now. But then, they have been proclaiming the same for Adobe Flash as well.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m no expert in RSS. If you have any suggestions for how to improve the features presented in the feed, please let me know. And, of course, keep the samples coming. This script should help provide more visibility for a broader audience.<\/p>\n

Mario and Flashback Samples<\/strong>
\nThanks to LuigiBlood<\/a> who sent in some samples that allowed me to test out my new script for automatically syncing the repositories and updating the samples RSS feed. First, there are CPC multimedia files<\/a> from the Japanese 3DO port of Flashback: The Quest for Identity<\/a>. Then, there is an Interplay MVE file on the CD version of Mario Teaches Typing<\/a> in which the video doesn’t decode correctly.<\/p>\n

LuigiBlood also sent in another file from the latter game. It’s big and has the extension .AV. It could be a multimedia file as it appears to have a palette and PCM audio inside. But there’s no header and I’m a bit unsure about how to catalog it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
