I will be there to report to the OMG readership as well as continuing work on the bug reporting experience.
We will have a lot of clever hackers working on this as well as solving the long standing problem that is our. NET developer experience for the GNOME 3 platform. Personally I have been working on documenting the bug reporting experience for Banshee on the GNOME Wiki under the Common Questions page but more importantly I have also been working on another project for some months now which I am proud to announce.Īfter FOSDEM 2011, in addition to repeating the massive success of the Mono room at FOSDEM from last year, we are having a 4 day hackfest with the aim to provide a superb. NET developers as well as more stable, featureful applications for users something needs to happen… and it will.

The only problem is that writing the code to take advantage of this is time consuming and the project that does this job is still in it’s infancy. Luckily as part of the GNOME 3 platform a solution exists for this ( GObject-introspection). GNOME 3 will change the landscape and to address our shortcomings we need to support this new platform. Some of these are easy to fix but critically our GNOME bindings are less than optimal and is starting to show up as a problem for applications such as Banshee. A long standing problem which now has a solution in sight.īanshee has become quite stable and most of the problems now stem from the platform we build upon. This support will also allow Banshee to allow for other extensions to become power aware, such as Mirage e.g.

If we were to model current behavior in competitors, Totem would apparently crash and Rhythmbox would resume playback. Neither seemed like good approaches to Alex, but what was felt to be an elegant solution was found and future Banshee releases will fade in and out accordingly in this scenario once Alex’s patch is merged. This work has resulted in improvements to Banshee which benefit all of Banshee, when however this will be in a releasable form the Banshee community would feel comfortable supporting is still uncertain but progress is promising.Īlex Launi has been working on power awareness in Banshee, initially to solve the problem of what to do on resume if Banshee was playing when the machine suspended. Already basic Banshee functionality is present and playback of music is working. Dustin has been submitting lots of patches and work getting a Banshee to build and run on Windows is progress rapidly. Hatch who has been working hard cleaning up Banshee’s build on Windows. The Banshee community also welcomes Dustin C.
Interested parties should read this thread from our mailing list. Right now the work is at an early stage but we would appreciate assistance with mockups of this feature. This is not however Olivier’s end goal, while a highly requested feature on its own, this is merely the foundation needed to support the TV Show support he is working on. Which means users will be able to dis/enable video support at will. Olivier Dufour, who previously brought Last.fm fingerprinting to Banshee as well as subtitle support, has been hard at work not just on the DVD support we reported on previously but also moving Banshee’s video support into an extension. From deep in Hanger 18, your reporter is proud to bring you some exclusive Banshee goodies.
