RB - CoverFlow enhancement-bug
Last modified: 2008-04-22 00:39:10 UTC
Hi, I'm working on CoverFlow plugin for rhythmbox. For now i have OpenGL/gtkglext engine that shows jpegs from directory. I would like to steel some code from visualization plugin to integrate my engine with RB. Where shuld I place my code - in sourceforge or somwhere else? What do You think about such plugin - I know some people are working on similar thing but progress is not big.
We don't currently support building C plugins outside the rhythmbox source tree, so that's the only place it can go.
Where exacly should I post code, how to manage it etc. ?

Hey people, Check out this!!! Plugin is in RB window. Still, covers are just jpegs from directory. Plugin is useless but this screenshot shows, it is possible to draw gl in RB, I'm working very hard to add some usable actions and to overcome problems. In several days I would like to show some code, maybe someone will be able to help then. I really dont know where place code so please tell me. I'm a noobie so need help.
@Bartosz, Just attach the code here, that way it will not get lost
I'm working now with my friend to develop some smart, runtime cover loading code. Please be patient.
I'm reading covers from coverart directory. It would be very good I thing, to read from id3 coverart tags in future. What do you think?
Well, more generally getting (In reply to comment #10) > I'm reading covers from coverart directory. It would be very good I thing, to > read from id3 coverart tags in future. What do you think? > Ideally getting the coverart should be abstracted and provided as a "service" to whatever plugin need them, and independently of where the actual image comes from. I don't know how RB fair with this right now, because coverart retrieval is not handled by the "core". Bug 345975 has a patch for your particular request.
I don't know if everyone knows: In spite of my laziness, we have real milestone in case of CoverFlow in Rhythmbox. Grzes Furga, who's not so prejudiced against Python as I am, worked nights and days long to give u some CoverFlowish feeling in RB. Don't postpone, and check out betha at http://code.google.com/p/rhythmboxcoverflow/ People say that it works fine so I'm not sure if I sholud proceed in C or just help my neighbour friend. Regards, Bartek
We should probably consolidate these two bugs. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 415816 ***
