Re: [trinity-devel] Default video player (Formerly UUGH! Desktop Icons open in DOLPHIN -- really?)

Short term we only need to debug and patch why kaboodle is failing with even the older formats. That provides us some temproary breathing room. >2. Move kmplayer into tde-multimedia. If we do this then we might consider pulling kaboodle from the sources and abandon kaboodle. I'm not against the idea of pulling kmplayer into tdemultimedia, but another option is we promote kmplayer as part of the base package set. If we start promoting kmplayer, I'm in favor of a name change. >3. Move kaffeine into tde-multimedia. Same as kmplayer: we promote kaffeine as part of the standard package set. Darrell

>No, leave the patch in place - I'll make an update. >I hope soon :) Okay. I believe the path I used in the patch is the normal installation location as intended from upstream. Therefore other distro maintainers who use a different path are changing that location. Darrell

Problem with desktop environments, apps that no longer or never did work, not being able to go outside the box and use best of breed apps. TDE has some 'best' apps, mine=gwenview, digikam, k3b, kmail, can using other non-tde apps be considered ? Is this what the gtk-qt widget stuff is for? -- Peace, Greg

Something in the tdeutils (whereever the irkick.png icons are installed from) is not seeing your prefix configuration.

Re: [trinity-devel] R14 RC1 ready?

>I would like to tag the current sources and binaries R14.0.0 RC1, >as it >appears that we have finally cleared the Blocker and Critical >reports from >the R14 Etherpad. > >Are we ready for this or are there any objections? The etherpad hasn't received updates in a while. We need some hacking. Blocker: ======== http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&namedcmd =Blocker Critical: ========= http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&namedcmd =Critical Michele is working on 1825, but could use help. That is an ugly bug from a public relations perspective. The comments provide a lot of details. 1853 needs attention. 1821 hasn't been touched. 1813 can be closed after the last comment is implemented. Regressions: ============ 1825 is bad (already mentioned in Critical). The others should receive attention but probably could survive the R14.0.0 cut. Patches Available: ================== Lots of patches sitting out there that have not been reviewed. Likely many could be pushed. Other: ====== * The new web site should be tested before moving toward a release date. * There is a laundry list of items in the R14 checklist etherpad that need attention. Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] UUGH! Desktop Icons open in DOLPHIN -- really?

by Darrell Anderson

>I've had success with 'xine' 'kmplayer' (very slow) 'mplayer' (ok >but full screen) and 'kaffeine" Yes, but those apps are not default apps. Kaboodle is the only base app that plays videos. Xine is indeed a dependency for several Trinity apps, but all of those apps are not base installation apps, like amarok, kaffeine, kmplayer, etc. Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] Default video player (Formerly UUGH! Desktop Icons open in DOLPHIN -- really?)

by Darrell Anderson

>This gets us no closer to solving the problem of a viable default >video player, though, unless we want to shift KMPlayer into tde- >multimedia. Merging kmplayer is worth a discussion, unless we fix kaboodle with nominal effort and pain. We're no longer in the 1990s --- we really do need a working default video player these days. We have two hurdles with kaboodle: Broken in R14. I can play audio files with some user accounts and can't start kaboodle at all with other accounts. Probably something at my end, but consistently I can't play videos. The supported video formats are few and they are both early generation versions. Yes, both. As far as I can tell the only supported formats are early generations of AVI and MPG. I filed bug reports against both issues. Darrell

Re: [trinity-devel] Default video player (Formerly UUGH! Desktop Icons open in DOLPHIN -- really?)

by Darrell Anderson

>7) all distros support mplayer in one form or another I suppose this is a packager problem, but the original idea of a default player is no external dependencies. MPlayer is well supported but is not part of a stock installation on all distros. Other dependency presumptions exist in Trinity (for example, xine for amarok), yet nominating kmplayer as a default video player and moving into tdemultimedia means MPlayer needs to be installed. Audio players are not the same challenge. We have kaboodle, noatun, and juk, all installed by the base package tdemultimedia. Fixing kaboodle gets us half way home. The other half is update kaboodle to support newer generations of avi/mpg and like or not, probably should support flv. For a default player that will suffice. People who want extensive video format coverage are going to install something else anyway. For Trinity users those additional apps will be kaffiene and kmplayer for video and amarok for audio. Not a problem for those types of users. We are discussing a basic default video player for the first-time out-of-the-box Trinity experience. Darrell

We should have a bugzilla status option such as I18NREVIEW and FIXED_I18NREVIEW to help us update i18n files. Refer to bug report 1813 for a similar idea for help handbooks. Darrell
