power saving

Daniel Korbel — 2012-04-21T21:12:41

Hey.
I would like to ask You about new feature.

New feature will be blocking power managment on kde/gnome while watching movie 
on Youtube, dailymotion, or sides with full movies like megavideo.
What do You think about it? Is it hard to implement?

Re: [Gnash] Remove the Play Button

Gabriele Giacone — 2012-04-20T16:13:15

Jos, if we are talking about youtube, yes, the Play button is there and
is part of the youtube movie player. yt is a special case: when yt
website detects Gnash, it provides an AVM1 player version which gnash
can play and I don't know if it's still maintained by yt, otherwise it
provides the AVM2 one.
AVM1 yt player shows Play button, AVM2 one starts at once.
I noticed that. Devs, is it an AVM1 player limitation or a gnash
limitation due to something not implemented yet?

I suggest you try lightspark. At this time, it can partially play AVM2
yt player (missing fullscreen, can't move progress bar, hard changing
volume).

AVM1/AVM2? http://wiki.gnashdev.org/FAQ

Re: .gnashpluginrc "bug"

Gabriele Giacone — 2012-04-20T14:35:44

It takes more or less the same time you take by writing this mail. By
the way, bugs can be also filed as anonymous w/o creating any accounts,
more problems about getting more info though, there are no emails to
contact bug reporters.


That's the correct behavior. Debug is NOT enabled by default and if
enabled, gnash outputs to ~/gnash-dbg.log or wherever you specify in
debuglog var in .gnashpluginrc or via GUI right-click - Edit -
Preferences - Logging.


Probably you had enabled debug time ago via GUI and you forgot that. Fix
yourself.
A real problem here is lack of manpower to fix existing real bugs.

.gnashpluginrc "bug"

2012-04-19T03:35:28

because filing bugs is a stupid lame process, seriously, create an account
and what just for a one off item?

My hard drive was all full.  Found out some gnash-debug log file was up to
97G

the file was located in my home directory

the .gnashpluginrc was the source of the problem, setting debug logging to
true and putting the file in my home directory.

Whatever.  Better things to do right now.  Fix it or don't Nice that it
does work otherwise.  Cheers!

Re: GSoC project ideas

Joshua Beck — 2012-04-04T08:33:54

The Google Summer of Code website ( https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/ 
) has a big list of all the mentoring organizations, and when you click 
on an organization's name, you go to a page describing the organization 
and a button to submit project proposals to it. I already submitted my 
proposal to GNU. You can see the proposal here: 
https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2012/joshuabeck/10002

I would like to know your, and the list members', comments on the 
proposal. I would especially like to know your opinion on the timeline 
and whether it is realistic. I don't know if GNU will accept it though. 
If you tell them that you'll mentor, I'm pretty sure they will. They 
have a mailing list for GSoC here: 
https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/summer-of-code/ Also you will 
have to register as a mentor for GNU on the GSoC site.

Thank you,
Joshua Beck

Re: GSoC project ideas

Rob Savoye — 2012-04-01T14:47:18


  The stubs should be in the 'hwaccel' (and openvg) branch. You could
also recreate them by copying the OpenVG support files and just removing
the code in each function. The GLES1 code is more complete, but GLES1
and GLES2 are quite different from each other GLES1 doesn't use shaders.


  The testr test case is far from complete, the idea was to test
renderers standalone, without the rest of Gnash. The idea was to be able
to regression test renderers, as well as to do better performance
analysis. Ideally it would also help show which shaders are needed. As I
haven't been working with university students this year, I am willing to
mentor for this specific task. I'm not sure if "Gnash" has to apply,
although I do know the FSF has a category for GNU projects. If you are
interested, let me know the next steps, as I haven't participated in
GSoC before.

Re: GSoC project ideas

Joshua Beck — 2012-04-01T00:19:42

Are you willing to mentor this year? I'd like to implement the GLES2 
renderer as my project (or at least implement the necessary shaders), so 
I would like to see the stubs.

Also, I've been looking at the OpenGLES2 Task page on the wiki, and it 
says that the TestR test case will tell us what shaders we need. Has 
this been done yet?

Thank you,
Joshua Beck

Re: R: Re: R: Re: Gnash and Google Summer of Code 2012

Sandro Santilli — 2012-03-26T09:17:05

Actionscript is insied so-called "control tags".
All "control tags" in an SWF are being collected by the sprite
definition containing them, within the relative frame.

When instances of that sprite are alive they do execute all control
tags for the "current frame".

Execution of them you can find starting from MovieClip::advance

Yeah I had already taken a  look at the doc/design, I guess the reason I was getting lost -currenly in the actionscript part- is that I didn't get how the action sripts are dealt with (still don't really get it, but I realized my first interpretation was wrong XD I guess I still need to get used to the object part, I was expecting something like  instructionX <parameters> -> actionX(parameters)  something like a bash script, but it's not so, is it? :P)

anyways waiting  for further news.

Sandro Santilli — 2012-03-23T23:19:12

You can start in spring. After all we all want you contributing to Gnash
for a lifetime so why waiting ? :)


Start from doc/DESIGN for a very high-level look.
Then ask and craft the next zoom level. Might be your first contribution
to put it back into doc/


I'll leave this to Markus ...

I'm an IT student in Bologna (Italy) and I'd be really interested in working on gnash in the google summer of code

I have hate the fact it's in summer though, isn't there a winter of coding anywhere? :P

anyways I'm not sure I'm up for the task, I have some experience with C but never really programmed in C++, also I've been browsing the code for a while, more than a mentor I need a compass... I don't get how it's organized :P

ah lastly I read the google presentation and some stuff but where do I find more details on the partecipation?

Hi,

how about applying to GSoC like last year, under the GNU umbrella [0].
We'd need at least a mentor and a student. We have plenty of goals [1]
but new ones are welcome as well.

[0] http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/project/google/gsoc2011/sortie/12001

Any mentors? Any interested students?

Re: Patches for dumping all SWF frames into images

Hyun-woo Park — 2012-03-12T06:14:25

Thank you for replying!

https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/index.php?7742
I just added a patch. I didn't notice that, Sorry :-) 

And I also tested < at >30 argument on dump-gnash -D option, but it didn't give me a same quality than screenshot capturing.
But I tested it not recent version of gnash, so I'll test it later again on latest version, thanks.

Re: Patches for dumping all SWF frames into images

Sandro Santilli — 2012-03-12T06:10:00

Sorry for the late answer.

Please file a ticket with your patch. For documenting you should look
up documentation for boost::program_options.
Note that you can append < at >30 to the argument passed to 'dump-gnash -D'
to get 30FPS framerate in output.
Interval is the heart-beat interval, it is enough that you set it to a
value lower than the required one (10 is fine).

Patches to improve the documentation of that '< at >' suffix are also welcome.

Re: Gnash funding

Rob Savoye — 2012-03-11T17:05:17


  There may be a way to have PayPal return donations, but I have no clue
about how to do that. Part of me thinks we'd be better off putting the
donation into something useful that isn't AVM2 support, maybe adding it
to anything at the Linux Fund or PubSoft. I guess any decisions that way
would be up to Petter and those donors. Lack of AVM2 support is a huge
problem, but we can't make much progress on that for what little was raised.

  I've been doing Gnash work for many months with zero funding (like the
release), but would rather see any donations go to future work than
cover past work. Right now I've got any hosting bills covered for
awhile, although eventually I'll have to cough up more cash for
gnashdev.org, or shut it down.

  Adobe's announcement that they are dropping flash support is
interesting, but I haven't seen it generating any real funding improvements.

Gnash funding

Gabriele Giacone — 2012-03-11T11:24:05

Hello,
regarding AVM2 pledge [0] created by Petter, given AVM2 task won't be
accomplished, how about poking all 15 donors and proposing an
alternative? Or giving their money back?

[0] http://www.pledgebank.com/gnash-avm2

Alternatives can be found at

http://wiki.gnashdev.org/Release_0.8.11

I've read a similar discussion on IRC about linuxfund donations:
