Good day gentlemen (and ladies?)
The Mandate
The old orbiter must go, and so, a new one must take its place. After much searching for the right tools, we have landed upon QML as the solution to what ails us. And that has led to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqZxCVgnS9k edit: also this too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zsfR76Hp5k . A very, very early version of a skinnable orbiter that can run on desktops, linux machines, windows machines, phones, tablets, maybe iSomething or others (still looking into it). Anyways, this is a heads up. Change is in the wind. :)
if you want to stay up to date on whats developing, stop by irc, take a look at http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Qml_Ui and generally say hello. There are all kinds of areas to look at from skins to raw implementation. And remember, its not impossible or un-feasable to help. Theres something for everyone in this one!

*update*
How to get Started with QT and Linuxmce
http://www.youtube.com/user/TridentConstruction?feature=mhee#p/a/u/2/TjSuE1KQGTg
Please note, we doing some advanced, very undocumented things in qOrbiter. So far, this is one of the most complex implementations ive found. And i dont say that to brag, its because I find myself needing to extend basic concepts and really dig into api documentation and pure experiments. For that reason, its my opinion that before you start skinning qOrbiter, you learn/play/turorialize yourself in qml. It will be helpful to you in a big way!
And stop by irc with specific questions if you get hung up on a step.

At this point, if you want to be in on designing skins, you NEED to be not only paying attention but just trying out qml. trust me, its not that painful!
What Not Working
-All the by-room scenarios
-tons of missing screens
-datagrid call backs
-on screen orbiter setup
-pin based security
-room based security
-alerts
-skinning
-floorplans
What is Working
-it doesnt segfault 8)
-dynamic button generation with placeholders for commands and callbacks partially implemented
-User and room selection
-playing media, and controlling it (more functions!)
-skinning
-single view security camera
-livetv and cablebox watching (mostly)

My assumption is that what you are talking about is a brand new "proper" (for the want of a better word, sorry) orbiter, as opposed to the new CHT one that polls stuff? Have I got that right?
Cheers,
Matt.
Forgot to say; nice video :) Will the myth interface still be used as per now, or will it all be moved to the orbiter?

Now seeking
Experienced Android Dev's - we are to the point of doing initial deployment to android and hitting some roadblocks. all input is appreciated.
There is no QT port for iOs so....yeah
thanks! golgoj4
-
I would love to be involved.
I am currently trying to get rid of some bugs in the updated Android Touch orbiter (with dynamic grids) but would love to see this working as well.
I will setup necessitas and get the dev environment going and then get back to you.
My ability to commit time is quite sporadic but will do what I can.

Its looking better and better. Nice work!
Have you discussed alternate approaches to iOS... ie the QT issue etc with Uplink?
All the best

We depend on the QML engine. We need Qt... there are some ports in the works.

Maybe this is helpful http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/7271/#43958

its basically wait and see what happens at this point. So one of two things will happen. Some Mac dev will happen along and make it happen, or we eventually get qt / qml on iOS.
Im not holding my breath either way. Just going to see what happens in the wild world of software development
-golgoj4
-
Very nice work
-
We are to the point now where UI designers can get their feet wet too.
If you are not familiar with QML, anyone with webapp experience (CSS, JavaScript) should be able to pick up QML very quickly; I have this background and it has taken me about a week to get up to speed with it.
If you are interested in this but don't know how to get started, stop by on IRC to chat with myself or someone else about the environment requirements.
-
You may be asking yourself 'why so quiet over there? Where are the updates?' well, lets just say all the low hanging fruit has been picked, and we are into the dicer parts of navingating the dce api. That being said, work has not stopped, oh no. Things are just taking a bit more time as experiments with how certain parts of the new orbiter will work going forward.
In other news, Merkur2k has been kicking ass on making a sexy skin! And it seems tschakeee has figured out a lot of meego quirks resulting in the beginnings of a skin there. We still need and android dev so stop by irc and say hello!!

As a non-developer I just want to say thanks for the effort! I have downloaded the Qt developer packages from Nokia on several occasions but never had the time to actually sit down and learn it.
Just wondering, are you looking for a native android app (Python, Java?) or a jquery/javascript/HTML5 based front-end run in the browser?

We are currently looking at a semi-native app in that we are attempting to cross compile to get our android orbiter running. To make a truly native app, a lot of porting would need to be done of the dce library to a compatible facsimile in java. The cross compiling allows us to try and forgo the need to port all the libraries needed to java.
As far as a 'native' web type orbiter, i dont think anyone has tried but dont quote me on that!

golgoj4 decided to use the Qt port to Java to bypass the need to port a LOT of code to Java, and so we could use a similar codebase, with all the advantages of the QML engine.
Personally, I see no need at all to have an orbiter running java code, as Qt is currently built for arm, mips, and x86 targets under Android, and runs faster than the JAVA code under the same platform (by virtue of it being native Linux code being run and marshalled via the JNI layer.)
My work on getting a Harmattan version of the QML for the Nokia N9/N950, as well as Jason's work on the Aeon skin shows the breadth of functionality of the engine; the results speak for themselves.
However, in the long run, we do need to dump X11 on platforms that need it now, and start working closer to the bare metal (OpenGL ES etc.). Qt5 will go a long way towards this, vastly improving performance for qOrbiter. I am hoping that Wayland will give us the compositor needed to solve the long term problems with today's media viewing under X11. (read this as, smooth framerate, no streaking.)

Well at the start of this thread I list the information and wiki pages you need to at least take a look at, but here is the condensed version:
-Find a linux box, 1004 or better, that is somehow connected to a core via the network or inside a vm, whatever. Just needs to be able to find a core
-Download the qtsdk which includes qtcreator and follow the instructions
-do a checkout of the existing svn '/src' tree
-open the project and read the readme file. all the instructions are there (i think) but we have gotten it to run on androd (with other issues) mac osx and linux so you should be good to go. Dont get frustrated initially, there are some things to learn but essentially once its open and configured, all you have to do is press the green 'run' button and it will start.
i believe i listed the how to get started video at the start of the thread too.
Ask here or in irc if you have questions
and this is where we are today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pf-9PbneXE

golgoj4,
Fantastic work. I have just reloaded 10.04 onto my core. Having trouble with web admin and my MD's. Once I get them working, can I use this as the orbiter on an MD? Just another thing to mess with in my spare time. :)
-
There is no window controller/manager in qOrbiter yet. We are debating whether to turn qOrbiter into a full window manager or not.
Want to take a crack at it?
-Thom
-
wow the Aeon it's fantastic !!!!
Good Work !!!
Emanuele
-
Only if I want my wife to divorce me :)
I'm having a hard enough time getting 10.04 up and running since I was foolish enough to wipe out my 8.10 in an effort to see if I could get my AVHCD home videos to play.
I have an 18 month old and 2 month old at home so my spare time is very limited. I am still trying to get back to finishing my Sirius XM addition. If I get some time I would love to either work on this or the android port of it.
I am also looking to code a new media type "Home Movies" So I can go directly to them instead of normal movies etc.
-

I believe there is such a thing, only its called media sub type in the web-admin media browser. Mark the video as such and then select that type from the Type selector in the orbiter.

Wow that looks impressive!
Just a quick question re:scaling, will it resize the buttons on higher resolutions or have more space between them?
-
Jeez its been to darn long!
Small status update-
Droid - work is ongoing to extend qOrbiter to this, but frankly it sucks balls trying to work it out. It feels like we are close, so lets keep our fingers crossed
The App itself has some things im having problems implementing like
Datagrids - some of the grids come with multiple columns and such that I have not been able to parse properly. Anyone wanna help with this? I can explain more if you stop by irc
Floorplans - Need to add the floorplan devices to Qorbitergenerator.php, as well as come up with a scheme for making sure they are place properly on the floorplans. I suck at math...
Threading - This is an advanced problem that requires joining of the Command_impl thread with the qt thread to enable communication of reloads, router shutting down, etc
once these issues are resolved, dare i say we will have a proper alpha!

Nice work Golgoj4
But I already have a proper alfa.

golgoj4's alpha will be a lot more reliable than your alfa.
Nice work by the way, thoroughly looking forward to testing the 'droid version.

screw droid!!! omfg it has been harder to get it running on a droid device than learning how to make Qorbiter!!!!
but seriously, its slowly killing me inside haha. Never the less, im up to the part where im trying to get it to change screens and am trying to figure out what works because...yeah. It has a lotta 'gotchas'.
Thanks for the vote of confidence Purps!

We are getting close to some kind of release. That being said, you may notice my annoyance at random tickets relating to qOrbiter. This isnt that I dont care about bugs, its that im focused on the big picture. That picture right now is loading the skins over the network from the core.
David_A_Dawson rewrote a bunch of my code to improve it both logically and functionally. This improvement will let us grab our skins from the core.
So if im gruff, rude, or anything else that ruffles your feathers, Sorry in advance. Its just that im focused on addressing the last major issues so that we can hopefully have something to show off @ scale.
Also, if you were planning to make a skin, what are you waiting for? :P 90% of the functions people use on a daily basis are in there, so lets get going people. So far the most complete skin is mine...which is sad because im writing the backend to the app too. I dont even have screens! We cant complain about the UI if nobody is willing to take a crack at it.
Good Day!
Currahee!

I cannot begin to tell you how exciting it is for me to see that video, fantastic stuff. I am however very upset that I am moving house next week, and have just finished decommissioning my LMCE system in preparation for said move, so no system to play with.
I will re-read this thread with regards to testing, I have an HTC Desire HD, an Advent Vega running HC, and an o2 joggler, and will help in any way I can with the testing.
Cheers,

As far as testing, i would be nice if people listed the android devices they are running and the hardware so i can have an better idea of how to do a default ui and which versions i need to target. right now its looks like 2.2+ and 3.1

I will be opening a thread for support when the device hits the market. But I need the help of the LinuxMCE community to make it a sooner than later release. Here is why.
1) While Android is the most visible, we do plan to release for (desktop) linux, windows, and mac. Harmattan is in the works, and so is iOS. What this means is that I will be need to learn the deployment process for all of these platforms to an extent. If you do software development on any of them, I would love to talk to you and start building my list of release requirements
2)I will be implementing the actual details on the device, but I would like a php / mysql person to take a hard look at my configuration script. Help me improve it!
3) Skins. I have decided that skins will be in modular packages. We will 'ship' with one or two for each platform initially and more will be added later. We are also exploring a way to have people have custom skins they can just store locally and use if they want. But in the mean time, we need to come up with how to package them so they are installed and ready to go.
Thanks to the people who have done initial testing so far. I realize the setup is far from simple at this point and dealing with my no sleep having ass and confusing directions probably hasn't been easy :)
Im not really inclined to give a release date, but I would like to shoot for the end of the month if possible. Keep in mind, not all screens will be done upon release. Currently, 1/100 of them are done. literally. But c'mon guys we're so close to a new era in LinuxMCE: the fabled UI3

HTC Desire Z
android 2.3.3.
Installed it, when I try to get into it in landscape I see the config screen with buttons, but it is aligned on the left and squashed. e.g. text is too big, and the screens are to small
e.g. 192.168.80.1 is massive, and the block it is in too small. My fingers cannot press it, so I do not know if touchscreen doesn't work or my fingers too big/or input box too small.
Apparently this is a know bug, and golgoj5 is working on it to fix. It is because the splash screen is pre-packeged. The solution would be to make it relative.
No need for ticket.
-
Although this not the best test bed, I'm using an N900 with Nitdroid, so far it works up until you press GO, some text scrolls under the connection settings and ends with "Couldnt Save Config!". I believe this might just be an issue with my setup. I tried changing DCEROUTER to an IP and I confirmed the correct Device ID.
Cheers.

yes bongo is correct. i was originally designing for a 480 by 320 screen. fixes incoming :) it of course would be the one ui element thats part of the binary.
-golgoj4

Create a new QOrbiter device as a child of the core. MAKE SURE to set the default user and location. Make a note of the device number
How do you do this? ::) I know you can add qOrbiter from the Webadmin Orbiter page, at the bottom, but that creates the device as a parent. Once created I can see the template number (2186) but that gives the error "ERROR: the device template does not exist or invalid controlled via" when I try to add it as a child to the core.

OK- just an updated. I pulled down the latest svn (changeset 25456) and have great success on the HP Touchpad. Whereas before I had force the app to close to be able to get it to restart, now, it starts nearly 90% of the time on the 1st try. The other 10% i get stuck at a black screen and have to click a button to get back to the home screen.
Here's the audio page:
http://www.imgur.com/Z4ZlI (http://www.imgur.com/Z4ZlI)
Not so good with my samsung galaxy s2. I get the spashscreen, but then a black screen. When I rotate the from portrait to landscape, there is a white rectangle that appears. I would guess that rectangle is just where qorbiter isn't displaying an image. What's really odd, is on the 1st go at qorbiter after the update, the main UI appeared as expected, sort of. I was surprised not to see the phone UI and instead the desktop UI on my phone.

Im still hot on the case of the media grid problem. Thanks to sambucca, ive gotten some insight into how i need to approach it on this device plus im finding some underlying faults in my code that were not readily apparent in a desktop build for whatever reason.

golgoj4,
I am trying to get a dev environment for this up and running, however there seem to be some recent updates to the qOrbiter class that haven't been committed to svn yet. Specifically on Saturday there was an update to orbitermanager that references a function registerDevice() in qOrbiter but there isn't any such function defined in the current qOrbiter class.
There are also a few signal and slot callbacks that aren't in the qOrbiter class that are referenced in the initial Q::Connect functions.
Let me know if this is just because the updates haven't been committed yet or if I am missing something else...

They have been committed. Apologies but there is a bug in qt creator where it doesnt catch all the files that need to be submitted. Its been committed now though. Let me know if you have any questions!

Seriously?
"Showing some more basic animations possible here with QML."
"Can you make this demo available and not do what it is demonstrating?"
It is this sort of post that drives devs insane. Not trying to dump on you... really I am not... but he just unlocked acceleration which makes these sort of complicated renderings possible. Spinning, while loading dozens of streaming images in a grid of hundreds on a weak handheld device is meant to show, only, what it CAN do. Please be more considerate in your consumption of material and creation of replies.

Give her a diamond ... she will forget all about those spinning icons. :D

I thought we post here to help one another solve our problems, not create new, and bigger ones...

I just installed qOrbiter from the market onto my new phone and it downloaded Ministro but now I get the error "Ministro can not satisfy your application dependencies" when I launch qOrbiter. I'm running a Galaxy Nexus and it just updated to Jelly Bean. Does anyone know if this is specific to Jelly Bean or qOrbiter? Thanks!

I'm assuming that Ministro does not have a relationship between Jelly Bean's version and the version of the libraries. That's my best guess. I've looked through their website but found nothing.
-
Well, it looks like the Ministro guys updated the library set. It ran once. Then qOrbiter automatically updated and now it says: "Your application encountered a fatal error and cannot continue." every time I start it.

I an having the same experience, 1004.
-
As am I. The error appears right after the splash, before it gets to the loading status messages. I had working qorbiters a while back but have since:
a) reinstalled my CORE
b) updated qorbiter version from Google play (dated June 17th, 2012)
I'm getting the same error described on both my HTC one x and Transformer Prime tablet. I I've tried completely uninstalling qorbiter and ministro, and reinstalling. No luck.
-
I just downloaded the nightly one and installed it. Works rather well.
-
Updated the nightly, please try that and let me know if you encounter errors. I tested it before i posted so im a bit confused as to why it went fubar

Sweet- good job! Just pulled it down a minute ago from your site, fixes the error for me. ICS on Samsung galaxy s2
-
Nightly apk fixed for me too.
As discussed with Foxi earlier today, resolving doesn't work, so you need to use your core's IP address not hostname (for the time being)

That looks fantastic! Truly. Great work!
-
It's amazing how fast this has progressed, I love your videos showing qorbiter... excellent work.

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!
-
Awesome,
That looks amazing !
-
That is looking amazing golgo!!

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!

Looks very nice.
Is it just me or is there no audio?

i really did want a shorter link. but...tired.
good day.

There is a test binary for *64bit* Linuxes available. http://deb.linuxmce.org/qorbiter.tar.gz (100MB) or http://deb.linuxmce.org/qorbiter-stripped.tar.gz (10MB).
I'd appreciate people testing these bins and let me know how far they come. You should NOT need any additional Qt libraries.
EDIT: nevermind - found a couple of things that are not working atm. will post update when some more stuff is fixed.
-
How about 32 bit Linuxes (don't wanna upgrade unnecessarily)???
-
back away...slowly...
its been weeks since the last message...i have nothing new in the svn from you
Nice langston is gone. Its time to cleanup around here. You got no buisness posting over here if you arent a developer. period. full stop. I've had it with this. Noise everywhere because people feel entitled to waltz in and setup shop spewing noise. enough.
If you wanna be in this section then you will figure out how to compile the damn thing yourself. Like a developer. because this is the developers section.
Consider this notice. to everyone making noise. There are like 10 people busting their asses and the rest are chillin. which is fine. but go chill in your sandbox and shutup when grown folks are talking.
-not too pleased golgoj4. you REALLY gonna make me become Z?

I chose q over clutter. I promised something before forever, or never. I have failed in that promise, stuck in a time loop, learning linux... because the host OS was foreign to me. I started learning bash, because it is a pre-requisite, in my frame of understanding. I am obsessive. I have not yet left bash because I am an infant with regard to what can be done, and yet I am improving (some) things. At this poi.nt I am using scripting as a crutch because I am better now than most. I belong in QML. The only language I was ever proficient in was js, and I am avoiding the typhoon I flapped my wings to create because I haven't yet mastered my distraction... and as good as I was, it supplemented java, and I need C++. I cobbled together a gstreamer app in C. Tthat took a lot of time and a lot of other peoples code. I screwed up. qOrbiter is so complex at this point... I should have abandoned what I was doing to learn from Langston as he was learning. It feels beyond my scope now, and I am just putting out fires I created trying to learn the OS.
We used to have specific GPU requirements. They all worked. Now it is catch as catch can while I try to provide individual solutions... and fail rather regularly... or so it seems as only those who invoke my name do so to complain that their non-approved hardware doesn't work.
For those... I am truly sorry. One day it will. I am trying really hard at GPU agnosticism. Really I am. I know I have failed a lot of people... and it eats me up.
It also gives me an excuse not to enter a new exercise like QT because I haven't managed to do much good, in the broad scope, despite my best efforts, with the native languages of the host OS.
I have no business in this thread. I just want to have that business.
The rest of you... please... stfu.
