[In Store] Live-f1 for N9
 

Formula season 2012 is starting soon and there is no live-timing client for N9 yet. I found yesterday this for linux:

https://launchpad.net/live-f1

It is gpl and running in terminal (well, with ncurses and neon...).

Is here any braveheart who could port this to N9? (allready noticed that won't work terminal without modification, cause of too much lines, but that can be override i think...)

Any volunteers?

(go Kimi go...) :cool:

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

+1

apart from Kimi, my vote is for Button :)

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

I think we both should vote for this "live-f1"?

(go Button go...)

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

lets do a bit better...livesportstv? MeTv? (thats if we could get some other channels as well...)

Kimi, Button...and well i like Hamilton as well

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

Just, lets start from basics, mmmmkay? Season is already knocking on door(s)...

(go Hamilton go...)

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

@catbus lol yeah but there was a nice tv app for the n900 (dont know what happened to it as i sold my n900...total regret) but im thinking ahead...maybe an app request?

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

that would be great! ... no way to watch without live timing - always watching at home - this could really help my social life ;)

(allez, Renault, allez!)

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

Attached latest live-f1, works on N900 (at least starts and asks for email, no idea if logs in correctly as have no account on formula1). Might work on N9(?). Needs libncurses and libneon27 (24 is enough but 27 was in fremantle repos)

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

^Yeah, must from be this?:

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

Haven't checked the forum, just downloaded the latest code from launchpad and compiled. Seems to be working. If you have libneon on Harmattan should run also.

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

any tip for trying to run this on N9?

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

Extract to ext2/3 partition (tar -zxvf livef1.tar.gz /home/user) and just run the binary (/home/user/live-f1)

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

Can't find libneon... I send PM to developer of this:

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

I did a quick compile of libneon and live-f1 on sb, and here is a screenshot of it running on N9 on my btinput-terminal app.

So yes, it can be easily ported on N9, but I don't know if I have time to make a nice deb package for it in ovi store.

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

tried what @szopin told me, but with no success... @rainisto - could You upload it here, or put a short how-to... ?

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

In the meantime you could try downloading fremantle libneon .deb, placing libneon.so from it in the same folder as live-f1 and run 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.' before trying to run live-f1, might work.

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

There is still lot of time before first practice :D

Maybe not time to store but here or my-meego?

(go rainisto go...)

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

I got it running, just installed the libneon deb from the maemo repository. The problem now is that starting it in the terminal is kinda difficult, because with the VKB in the way, the program stops with the message "insufficient lines/columns in display" (unless I'm really fast and manage to hide the keyboard while it's starting).
Could a shortcut be made to run it in the terminal without showing the keyboard?

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

^I think yes... and there is "wlines" (orwhatever) in display.c where you can reduce lines... But rainisto allready show us working version... maybe we should wait... few hours... ;)

(gentleman, start your engines...)

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

No way to lower font size in xterm before running? (in N900 it's volume up/down, no idea how it works in N9, but bit crazy it seems)

EDIT: or a shotcurt on desktop (you need to enter your email/pass only once) that does 'xterm -e /home/user/live-f1' executing the binary without forcing kb? Try mrxvt from maemo? It definitely allows -e(xecuting whatever program you want). Maybe executing .sh that does the above? In maemo it is not straightforward, but if it is running, starting it up without kb showing should be doable.

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

I've made btinput-terminal application to ovi store (free), with that app you can disable vkb, Ie you can start btinput-terminal, and then run:
"sleep 10; /home/user/live-f1" and then just go to settings menu and disable vkb before live-f1 starts.

Currently I dont have time to make custom deb package, as in ultimate package there would be custom qml settings page for user/pass and locked landscape, but I'm too busy with work to make it for a while.

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

How do you compile the source for live-f1 for the N9??

Live-f1 uses Autotools for building and QtSDK-Madde does not support Autotools.

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

I compiled it in scratchbox, just took the ubuntu package and compiled with "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -d"

For non-ubuntu sources you can just call autoconf; ./configure... autoconf should work in scratchbox and QtSDK (there is QtSDK/Madde/madbin/autoconf).

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

Any news from this?

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

While we still waiting this ultimate live-f1 -version...

...i need little help with this... (every real dev are so, so damn busy ;) )

I succesfully installed scratchbox and QtSDK. Then after manual install of neon-packages to scratchbox, only (i hope) package which i need is ncurses-dev and where from? Harmattan reposity is down so i could not apt-get it from there.

N9 did not accept that libneon package from fremantle (which was installed nice to sb). Where could i find suitable?

That binary from "szopin" did run inside scratchbox but not in N9.

Thanks...

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

I've had some more progress on this, made qml ui for email & password prompt and working binary. I'll still have to draw the icon and make customized terminal before I can release to ovi store though... so it will take some time to finish it off.

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

I pushed a version into ovi store QA, most likely it should appear to ovi store within a week (if they don't find a problem).

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

Rainisto, I buy a beer for You. If, or when I see you! Thank You very much!

Now, N9(/N950) and N900 are the only nokia phones with support for f1 live monitoring... and already abandoned systems... Big Thanks for community!

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

@rainisto any chance of putting .deb file here for us to test it in case it's not published before the Bahrein quali this Saturday?

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

So maybe in next week then. What will be the actual name, Live-F1?

Thanks again...

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

it failed QA testing, because QA engineers don't know how to confirm their registration (too stupid to open email to confirm their registration)... I have to remove the register button from the application, and just change it to text instructions of how to register...

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

:) can't believe it... ok, we have 3 weeks now untill the next race, so there's no hurry... still, You could have post .deb file here for us to test it...

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

QA engineers failed IQ test - OMG!

edit. "clerical error"...

Re: [Requiem^H^H^Hest] Live-f1 for N9
 

I did find one bug in my code, so I guess QA engineers are doing their job. Anyways I've now submitted updated version to QA, Hopefully it passes this time.
