Tonight I have been working on Christine, in the GUI, IMO a media player that work fine should also look good and sometimes GTK just don't fit on that, why? it is because GTK is a general purpose graphical toolkit and everything is general, I wish
... [More]
GTK has some more widget options (like more buttons that fit a specific function, like those small rounded with a simple question sign help buttons)
Fortunately, you can write your own widgets and make them look as you want. Tonight I have been working on Christine's new buttons, just for the Previous, Play/Pause, Next. Creating custom buttons is not a complicated task, just subclass gtk.Button and connect your button "expose-event" signal to a custom function, remember at the end of this function return "True" in order to stop the signal emition. If you don't do this the gtk.Button will do its task and will redraw the button.
As usual, you can check out the source code from the svn [Less]

This night I have been working on the Win32 build of christine. It seems to be working fine. This version is just a test, for those that wanted to use christine on Microsoft Windows.
Altough that I have made some tests on a clean Windows XP
... [More]
installation cannot guarantee that the Win32 will work on your computer.
Anyway, if you are brave enough, download the win32 binary and report any bug you found on it.
If you want to compile it, you will need this:
Python 2.6 (I built Christine with it, but python >= 2.5 should work too)
Gstreamer Winbuild (http://www.gstreamer-winbuild.ylatuya.es/doku.php)
Microsoft Visual C++
py2exe (http://py2exe.org/)
The build script is in win32resources/christine_setup.py, just copy it to the source root and run python christine_setup.py -q py2exe to build it.
You can download the win32 binary from here: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/christine/christine/0.6.0-pre1/Christine-0.06.00-pre1.exe
I forgot to mention that you have to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable in order to work. [Less]

I was playing with gstreamer video sinks, I found that using cacasink and aasink you can play videos in ascii mode ;-) funny even when (for me) has no good use.
