Any chance that the source for the podcast plugin will be released?

For reference - Mplayer version 1.0rc2-4.2.3 on Ubuntu Hardy.

Baloo, thanks for reporting that. Unfortunately I wasn't able to investigate this issue today but I'll let you know of my findings ASAP.

I'm trying to install the dev environment on Ubuntu. When I run "run-canola.sh", I get:

*** ECORE ERROR: Ecore Magic Check Failed!!!
*** IN FUNCTION: ecore_evas_data_set()
Input handle pointer is NULL!
*** NAUGHTY PROGRAMMER!!!
*** SPANK SPANK SPANK!!!
*** Now go fix your code. Tut tut tut!

THe last traceback is

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bin/canola", line 265, in <module>
ee.evas.font_hinting_set(evas.EVAS_FONT_HINTING_AU TO)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'font_hinting_set'

What's up? THis is a fresh install.

frethop, are you trying to run canola SDK as a diferent user than your X11 session's one? This error usually means canola was unable to connect to an X server.

Try allowing external connections to your X server with "xhost +" (as the X session owner) and exporting the env var DISPLAY=:0.0 (as the user running canola sdk).

Let me know if it works.

Baloo,

I have a couple questions for you, also I would appreciate if you could do some tests and send me the output.

Are you running Ubuntu LiveCD or an installed system?
Does this problem happen with local media files as well?

Could you run the following commands and send me the output?

1) Save a youtube video using canola
2) run:
mplayer -msglevel all=9 -vo xv <youtubevideo.pls> > /tmp/mplayer.out 2>&1
xvinfo > /tmp/xvinfo.out 2>&1

Then send me the files /tmp/mplayer.out and /tmp/xvinfo.out to my email:

Thanks,
Fleury

Thanks. THat was it. I had previously ran Scratchbox & Xephyr -- setting my DISPLAY variable to put apps on Xephyr (:2). Resetting to :0 did the trick! Marvelous!

Canola Team: I know that documentation is not yet posted. However, could you provide a list of terra_types and the relationships between them -- and the various displays throughout Canola?

I'm writing a plugin, but I'm getting confused on the terra_type specs that Canola expects as it moves between displays.

I have been through all the provided plug-ins, but they don't tell me what Canola is looking for. They tell me what the last.fm plugin provided, for example, but no WHY it provided it.

Thanks.

Frethop, you can see a list of existing terra_types in "plugins/canola-core.zip/plugins.info" however it'll be easier to explain you how these things work if you join the #canola@freenode

Thanks,
Eduardo

Thanks. I will find you there!
