And of course, the subject of this mail should have read "New Canal+

Vimeo plugin

Hi there, all.

In a hackathon yesterday I've created an initial plugin for Vimeo.
Although limited, it's working.

There's unfortunately no way to browse through Vimeo's categories or
tags using the API, I decided to use a preconfigured list of channels
(customizable through the config file).

To keep the looks high enough, I load the channel names and icons in
deferreds, which needs a bit of polish, because it currently defers the
labels and icons instead of the whole entries.

And here's the question - loading every channel takes about 1 second
thanks to Vimeo's slow-ish API. Waiting for that in the Internet Media /
Video list would seem like hanging even though the entry would pulse.

Oops, I forgot that was meant to be a question... I think the best way
would be to sequentially load and append the channels to the list along
the way. I mean - show the list with an initial set of entries
('Search', currently - some more after I implement logging in) and
append the preconfigured channels to this list.

Wait, the question... Does that make sense? How would I go about
implementing that in a non-blocking fashion? For the list to show up I'd
need to return a defer.succeed() and then run another chain of deferreds
to download additional info and icons... And I'm a bit lost on how to do
that :)

Anyway, attached is a elisa-plugin-vimeo v0.0.0.0.0.1 egg.

Re: Vimeo plugin 0.2.1

Behold! :D

There's even a project I hijacked on Launchpad :]

https://launchpad.net/elisa-plugin-vimeo

Version 0.2.1 is released, it's all we can do without logging in - add a
custom channel list to display.

The plugin is somewhat documented and unit-tested. I think it's enough
for an initial release.

Upcoming features:
- authenticate
- browse subscriptions (videos, channels, people)

And I don't think there's much more that can be done.

For the lazy, there's even an egg attached.

Cheers

Streaming issue

Hi everyone,

I started to write a plugin to access to the video content of Arte +7
[1]. Things are going pretty well except that for some reason, Moovida
refuses to read the stream.
For example, if I try to open this stream
http://artestras.wmod.rd.llnw.net/geo/arte7/ALL/arteprod/A7_SGT_ENC_08_040886-284-A_PG_HQ_FR.wmv

I got this error:

WARN  MainThread      default                     Oct 12 22:00:03
Gstreamer There is no codec present that can handle the stream's
type.:gstplaybasebin.c(2327): prepare_output (): /GstPlayBin:playbin0
(elisa/plugins/poblesec/player_video.py:613)

Reading this stream with totem works fine so that's definitely not a
codec issue.

I uploaded a pre-version of the plugin on [2] if you want to give it a
try.

Thanks for your help!

We got it solved with cassidy on IRC - it's an ASX playlist, which Totem
parses and plays the enclosed stream. Moovida doesn't yet handle
playlists, so you need to get that URI and gives playbin the stream URI.

Re: Streaming issue

One contributor had the same issue for france-televisions plugin

He has written a peace of code that resolve it :
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~arnaud-marlot/elisa-plugin-francetelevisions/trunk/annotate/head%3A/elisa/plugins/francetelevisions/utils.py
class WmvRedirectResolver

Hope it helps.

Such a piece [1] of code should probably go into the core and be used in
the player so that plugin developers don't have to worry about it.

Totally; that would make our life much easier. Please merge it to the
core :)
