Rbox video viewer in Ruby
From Forskningsavdelningen Wiki
Sticher.rb is a Ruby program that sends a series of images over the net to Rbox.
This is what Stitcher.rb does:
- Let ffmpeg create some still video frames at a set frames-per-second rate, using the PPM format
- Split these PPMs up into sequences of bytes
- Send chunks of bytes to the Rbox screen over UDP.

[edit] Problems you can solve
- Package as gem (add a Gemfile! use Jeweler!)
-
Add the optparse commandline parameter parsing, to make the program work better in people's computers -
Add a validate requirements step, making sure that `ffmpeg` is available, bailing out if not all requirements are fulfilled. - Re-implement this program in Erlang
