new tla/arch Archive (old one gone)

Due to a hardware failure and a configuration failure
of my own, I have made a new arch repository

kris <at> cs.ucsb.edu--2004-public
  http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~kris/archive-pub

$tla regsiter-archive kris <at> cs.ucsb.edu--2000-public \
  http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~kris/archive-pub

$tla abrowse kris <at> cs.ucsb.edu--2004-public 

  will show you what's there.

There are two branches in the archive
zinf--cvstrunk--1  
  is synchronized with CVS
zinf--mdb--0.2  
  is a branch from zinf--cvstrunk--1 containing
  the code for musicbrowsermm and the music db code.

zind--mdb with the new musicbrowser from David Hough 
now partially supports streams, CD work is in progress
and is using glade for some of the dialog boxes (change the layout
with recompiling).  
If you use zinf--mdb you must copy glade/zinf.glade to your ~/.zinf
before running.   In order to use the new musicbrowser you need
to change ~/.zinf/preferences MusicBrowserUI to musicbrowsermm.ui

Unfortunately I had to blow the history away so if you had a branch
off the previous archive, you'll need to apply the changes by hand.

Re: new tla/arch Archive (old one gone)

Is there any way to come up with a version that doesn't require so
many dependencies? I'm referring particularly to using it without
Xwindows.  With a text only interface, it doesn't use musicbrainz or
any GTK stuff.  The last times I tried compiling zinf, it was a nightmare!

Your sourceforge mail account is not active yet, so
I am writing a response here.

I don't know of anybody working on a FLAC plugin. 
It would definitely be a good thing.

Some pointers to getting going:

1. Use the CVS version (the release is quite old).
2. You must have all optional packages installed in order
   to generate the configure script.  I can try to
   give you a list if you need it.
3. Use the latest automake and autoconf tools.

Compiling from CVS

Could you provide such a list of such dependencies here on list? That
was one of my biggest problems when I attempted a CVS build here
several months ago.  I would actually like to do some more work on the
text oriented UI's if possible.

FLAC Support

Hi,
	I am interested in working on a FLAC plugin for Zinf, and was wondering 
if anybody had started working on one? (If someone has, I dont wanna 
duplicate the effort).

Thanks

OK, heres a rough list of extra dependinces since the last release, not 
all of which are checked for in configure yet. Theres bound to be other 
ones I've missed but it's a start. And if you're unsure about versions 
I've listed the rpms (from mandrake) I have installed for them

gtkmm (libgtkmm2.0_1-devel)
boost (libboost1-devel, libboost1-static-devel)
metakit (libmetakit0-devel)
xosd (libxosd2-devel)

Work on MusicbrowserMM

Hi,

As kris has updated his work on MusicbrowserMM, its probably about time I 
released all the stuff I've done on it as well. The main stuff i've done is

* Major reworking of class interfaces, structure, etc. so that the code 
design makes some sort of coherent sense, to me at least :) (If anybody 
has any patches against the previous code, this work will probably break 
it, if you need help getting it working again just ask)
  - This includes creating a new interface BrowserPlugin which makes it a 
lot easier to add new widgets to the 	browser (it just requires some 
position preference details and a pointer to a Gtk::Widget)
  - Made all items apart form playlist notebook and status bar plugins

* I've also added a new playback toolbar. It dosn't have any pretty icons 
for the buttons and the track info tends to work properly only 
occasionely, but the buttons do work. If anyone wanted to help improve 
this it would be greatly appreciated

* Its now possible to play a playlist other then the main playlist. By 
this I mean, if you have a number of playlists open, including the "Main 
Playlist" that is normally played, you can switch between which one Zinf 
is playing without replacing the contents of the Main Playlist. (You 
currently need tabs on to use this as the play button is on the tab)
	- I've had to change the base Player object, so that it always reads the 
current playlist from FAContext instead of caching the current 
PlaylistManager. If there are any plugins that do cache the 
PlaylistManager and are run at the same time as MusicBrowserMM, they could 
display odd behaviour

Stepping back as Zinf Debian maintainer

Hi!

I don't really use Zinf anymore and recently have become involved in
other projects; thus I intend to orphan the Zinf Debian package, as
I'm not finding the time to properly handle the bug reports. I just
wanted to post a heads up here before I send the official ITO (intend
to orphan) to the debian lists.

Regards, Andy

Re: Stepping back as Zinf Debian maintainer

I'm sorry to hear that.  Could you possibly check-in your debian scripts
to CVS?   I might make unofficial debian packages for the time we 
don't have an official package maintainer.

Thanks for you all assistance and good work.
