The European union is now commonly referred to as Europe, which is a great thing for our common identity. After two world wars, this collection of individual countries is now able to work together at strengtening their own and each others'...http://www.advogato.org/person/rbultje/diary.html?start=103 23 Apr 2005- April 23, 2005 Pitfdll Did a first release of Pitfdll. Let's hope it gets into the famous package repositories soon.http://www.advogato.org/person/rbultje/diary.html?start=102 21 Apr 2005- April 21, 2005 World changes faster With a wink to my previous post, I can say that at the same location, you will now find a working DLL loader that works in threaded applications, and thus in Totem, too. This means, in effect, that we now support QDM2 and WMV9. Thanks to Mike Hearn for helping me fix the threading issues! I also updated the ffmpeg snapshot, which means that current CVS of everything now supports ALAC (Apple lossless), too.http://www.advogato.org/person/rbultje/diary.html?start=101 21 Apr 2005- April 21, 2005 Changing minds Alone in the dark, I present you Pitfdll, which is a GStreamer plugin for Win32 DLL loading. I guess I changed mind - I don't see a working free software WMV9QDM2 decoder coming up anytime soon, no matter how close the ffmpeg people claim to be or how hard Fluendo is trying to release binary-only plugins. So we'll have to come up with something else for the time being. The plugin reads WMV9, IV50 and QDM2. More can be added by adding two lines of code defining the DLL and the...http://www.advogato.org/person/rbultje/diary.html?start=100 17 Apr 2005- April 17, 2005 Totem DVD & the like Added some missing features (w.r.t. the Xine backend) in TotemGStreamer today. One being manual aspect-ratio selection, partly with thanks to Laurens Buhler. The other being language codes, which I implemented in DVD playback. The result is that a media source with multiple audio tracks and language code support will now display proper language names in the audiolanguage menu. Same code is in place for subtitles yet, but then again, DVD subtitles don't work yet, so it's.http://www.advogato.org/person/rbultje/diary.html?start=99 12 Apr 2005- April 12, 2005 Dutch Gnomeys The people ate GNOME-NL have set up a private, unique and special Planet Gnome-NL which features your all-beloved GNOME hackers, but then only the special dutch flavour. Also, we're currently working on an article in a national news magazine, which looks promising. The best of all this is that we're doing cool stuff and are having fun at that. Yay! Totem So lately, I've been doing stability and finetuning work for Totem. It's nice to see that it "just works" most of the time,...http://www.advogato.org/person/rbultje/diary.html?start=98 |
