media player ecosystem is coming along! Now i need to just make a path from the core to the qOrbiter in question.

But seriously, the qMediaPlayer plugin is up and running. this is a big effing deal!

Status update as we reach the end of summer

-Some highly motivated dev's have begun work with integrating linuxmce and the rasperry pi. We all should get them a beer or something for the hard work they are doing to make qOrbiter be able to have a proper home on the raspberry pi!

-qOrbiter itself is under active development. Nobody responded to the tablet challenge, but life moves on. We are still looking for people who want to design skins, so make your self known.

-Multimedia for qOrbiter is almost here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMu9CW3Xd40

update complete!

[dce multimedia]

mine should be arriving on monday!! woohoo!! im racing like mad to get the qMediaPlayer working on the DCEside. Ive done a proof of concept qml video plugin so we are getting closer!

So what left to add to qOrbiter
dce multimedia- writing the plugin this weekend. Child qMediaPlayer device registers and i can send media control commands to it. just need the plugin to serve the stream data now

dce ip phone / video. ---kinda far away just because ive not had a chance to look at c# / qml interfaces yet. The plan is to utilize liblinphone to create our own ip qPhone (sorry about q' everything. lol) that we can utilize on mobile devices as well as the pi and mds. and it could support video as the linphone library supports it.

also, you guys kick ass

*raises eyebrow*

Something in particular you're trying to do?

-golgoj4, resident suspicious old person. Now get off my lawn! :p

OOOOH,...

You's are so lucky,... I had my right F-U finger on "Enter."

JKing... I'm still jazzed about this, as is everybody. This is a big step.

**************!

Follow-up:

I'm downloading now. 1,200KB/sec,... thank the Lord!

Any-who...

I want to post a press-release statement to LXer (Linux news aggregation site) and also maybe PM Nixie-Pixel (Red-headed Gaming/Open-Source Video Blogger) on the Beta of LinuxMCE 1004 being released. Any objections??

Remember, I got ADHD... Act quick!

Wait for release before making press releases. we aint in a hurry.

What tablet are you looking at it?

Anyone interested in chipping in and buying Langston a play thing?

This is the time for anyone who, for whatever reason, doesn't code, who are actively using the system, and would like to give something back.

Step up, and the cheaper it will be for all of us!

Cheers,
Matt.

its over and ive moved on. expecting community involvement was a pipe dream. the end. and believe me i can get my own tablet, i was giving one away. was. anyways. please dont ever bother me about a ui related issue. ever. i tried to collaborate. nobody wanted to.

-golgoj4

i will just buy myself a tablet since clearly there is no motivation to be found here. and yeah, i know im being harsh but goddamn if the next person that bitches about the UI doesnt get my foot so far up their bum they taste rubber...

handing out free stuff is apparently a pointless endeavor these days. maybe if i had a goddamned turtleneck on...

a very jaded developer

Exactly like that. I didn't get a pop-up that i could see. I could see the -1 but not edit it.. and it would only give me a few sec before crashing. xml edit worked immediately though.

your running the most recent update, qml included?

I'm having trouble with my touchpad as well- qorbiter is grabbing device id "45" even through only have qorbiter devices "56" and "75".  I don't have a device 45 or anything really even close.  On one occasion, I was able to halt the qorbiter starting and was able to type in "56" as my device id.  I hitting "go" changed the button color to green, but then the app froze.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I dont. What should be happening is that device id is set to -1 by default. this should cause it to pop up a list of existing qOrbiter, you select the right one and it starts. it saves the device id so next time it will already have it. Anything else happening is outside of what happens on the android devices i  test. Is there anyways to get a more solid rom onto these touchpads, because its clearly borking up a lot. It should not be setting random device numbers. that means that it cant read from the SD card more than likely, which means you will have to fight with it every time.

Hey golgoj4,

Thought i'd try out the nightly. Followed the wiki (orb, user, room, size, svn, skins, config generation etc) however after loading briefly - the app just quits (goes back to the homescreen). Using a galaxy S2 (ICS 4.0.4). Logcat shows this if it is helpful:

Let me know if there is anything else you need/want to help.

its supposed to show a popup of the existing qOrbiters.
