FreeJ Development sketches/ideas/TODOs

• MovieLayer (audio/video) - http://www.dranger.com/ffmpeg/ (shammash)

• Closure / Closing testing on FreeBSD ok? (shammash)

• What is the design now? (MultiContext / ContextLess / Whatever) (shammash)

• Fps/Blitters/LayerStarting situation? (shammash)

• DumbCallback must be replaced with some Signal/Slot code (must be SWIG aware, what about libsigc++?) (shammash)

• Further changes in bindings API? (shammash)

• Limiting Layers resources (like zoom) (MrGoil)

• Import Wii fixes from roma-fixes (shammash)
• Controllers return value really needed? What's the advantage of a notification about signal handled/unhandled? Controllers list is not that long! I think this only adds complexity for SWIG scripters because they need to return a value. (shammash)
• provide more controller examples for py/rb scripting (jaromil)
• make bluetooth support conditional in configure (jaromil)

• solve FTBFS on ia64 http://bugs.debian.org/533765 (probably solved with git commit: 97b015491c710fbf733e15802591399b127f95a0 , but maybe it's better to avoid optimizations for ia64.. who cares about freej on itanium? ) (shammash)

• import closuretest.cpp inside freej tree (with a unit-test system using CxxTest?) (shammash)

• improve ruby.m4 macro, now it's a bit delicate, especially with install paths (shammash)

• fix VideoLayer. All methods I've tried from python and ruby cause segfaults (x37v)

• Should set_position respect the zoom setting? It used to but now it doesn't. Layer.fit doesn't work anymore because of that. (x37v)
• Understand why if we create a pthread in C++ while running as a python API may lead to crashes (on Midori it does on debian not) (shammash)
• Compatibility layer with gstreamer (jaromil)
• Establish minimum _mandatory_ libraries and FAIL HARD on that missing (godog)
• Explicit minimum version (if any) for libraries (godog)

End Of Stream Callback example:

   1 import threading
   2 import freej

   4 class MyCall(freej.DumbCall):
   5   def __init__(self, *args):
   6     super(MyCall, self).__init__(*args)
   7 
   8   def callback(self):
   9     print "detected EOS from python"

  12 
  13 W = 400
  14 H = 300
  15 cx = freej.Context()
  16 cx.init(W,H,0,0)
  17 cx.clear_all = True
  18 
  19 th = threading.Thread(target = cx.start , name = "freej")
  20 th.start();
  21 
  22 v = freej.VideoLayer()
  23 v.init(cx)
  24 v.open('/home/film/video/yue/live/nothing/cubo.avi')
  25 v.start()
  26 v.active = True
  27 
  28 cx.add_layer(v)
  29 
  30 cb = MyCall()
  31 v.add_eos_call(cb)

Discussion Agenda

1. closure + error handling + automatic subclassing
2. build time checks policy + coding style and conventions + move "lib" in a contrib-subsystem
3. javascript architecture + garbage collector + automatic subclassing

   • ScriptTree/JsLibs some notes about script glue
