Hollywood: HTTP-Streamer-Plugin
Press release: Airsoft Softwair - the hardest work men in code business - are proud to present a brand-new plugin for Hollywood: The HTTP Streamer. This plugin allows Hollywood scripts to open files stored on HTTP servers as if they were local files.
Furthermore, the plugin also supports streaming of audio and video files via HTTP if the AVCodec plugin is installed. This finally makes it possible to do video and audio streaming with Hollywood which opens up a whole new range of possibilities for developers! Once this plugin has been activated, all Hollywood functions that deal with files will "automagically" be able to open files from HTTP sources as if they were stored on a local drive. It just doesn't get any more convenient!
The HTTP Streamer uses a sophisticated multi-threaded design for highly efficient HTTP streaming. Each HTTP connection is managed by a dedicated thread for optimal performance. This means that even when dealing with slower connections, Hollywood itself will never become sluggish or anything as all HTTP I/O runs on dedicated threads.
The HTTP Streamer is the second plugin to bear the Powered by Hollywood 6.0 seal of quality as it utilizes the new file adapter plugin interface and the streaming APIs introduced with Hollywood 6.0. The plugin will not work with older versions of Hollywood. That's why we here at Airsoft Softwair say: Life starts at 6.0.
The HTTP Streamer is available free of charge and can be downloaded from the official Hollywood portal Versions for AmigaOS 3, AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, AROS (i386), Windows, Mac OS X (PowerPC and i386), Linux (PowerPC, i386, ARM) and Android are provided.
Please note that video and audio streaming requires at least version 1.3 of the AVCodec plugin.

Hardware: SCSI-adapter for SD-cards
Using SCSI2SD it is possible to use SD-cards as SCSI-harddrives. The adapter is available in two different versions: Additional to the 3,5" standard version, there is also a 2,5"-version meant for Apple's PowerBook, which can replace its internal harddrive.
The adapter was tested with the following Amiga models:
- Amiga 500+ with GVP A530
- Amiga 500 KS 1.3 with Oktagon 508 SCSI-2 controller
- Amiga 2000 (B2000 rev 6.4 ECS) with DKB RapidFire SCSI 1 card
- Amiga 4000 equipped with CyberStorm PPC using 68 pin adapter
Since the developers ship the SCSI2SD-adapter from Australia and another trader is situated in China, Alex Perez currently offers the 3,5"-version from USA in two different options, which include a SD-card with 4 GB or 256 MB.

Trademark rights: Scene-World-Podcast-Interview with Commodore Business Machines
In its 13th issue, the English-language podcast Scene World has interviewed Massimo Canigiani and Paolo Besser. Canigiani is chief executive officer (CEO) of "Commodore Business Machines Ltd." registered in Great Britain which is going to sell a commercial Android smartphone as "Commodore PET" (amiga-news.de reported).
But there is also direct connection to the Amiga section because Paolo Besser is well-known for his most popular AROS-Distribution Icaros Desktop. Therefore as Amiga emulator of the smartphone the AROS-Kickstart-ROM is used.
In this interview Canigiani and Besser clarified, that they are not only going to make quick money with the "Commodore PET", which will be delivered in a few weeks, but in future also develop separate products. The users can configure many options by themselves. Therefore the smartphone can be rooted without losing the warranty. Only if you use ROMs of your own, This guarantee expires immediately.
They also cooperate with the authors of the emulator to ensure an optimal adaption. While the emulation in the original version would not have run completly fluently on a similar Galaxy S5 now it does.

Amiga 1200: Repair part sets turned up
Parallel to the Kickstarter project for a new A1200-case, Petro Tyschtschenko has procured original repair part sets for the Amiga 1200 and offers them under the title link.
On Facebook he wrote in a non-public section in German: Thank you for the first orders at shop.boingbox.de. Actually they are new and original repair sets from 1997, which have become deposited by an Amiga user for 18 years. Choice articles which have not gone yellow or scratched. Partly the A1200-keyboards are packaged in plastic. UK and German version. To provide some support to the community, I agreed to manage the complete order processing.
