MPlayer-Based MPV Video Player Won't Work Anymore with Different FFmpeg Versions
MPV maintainer Martin Herkt released today, July 10, 2016, a new point release of the MPV 0.18.x series, bringing a handful of new features, small improvements to options and commands, and many bug fixes.
However, there's one major change in the MPV 0.18.1 that would interest many OS vendors, namely the fact that MPV now requires the versions of the FFmpeg or Libav libraries which with the open-source, MPlayer-based video player application was compiled.
Of course, this translates to the fact that if MPV 0.18.1 was compiled against FFmpeg 3.1.1 "Laplace," which is the latest version at the moment of writing this article, the maintainers of the GNU/Linux distribution you're using will need to update the FFmpeg package as well when they are adding MPV 0.18.1 to their repositories.

Open Source Solar
What’s the size of a standard euro-palette, goes together in 15 minutes, and can charge 120 mobile phones at one time? At least one correct answer is Sunzilla, the open source solar power generator. The device does use some proprietary components, but the entire design is open source. It contains solar panels, of course, as well as storage capacity and an inverter.
