But we all do sort of the same thing,
And that is rearrange what you thought was real...
And... hmm... They remind you of the beauty of very simple things.
You forget, because you're so busy going from a to z, that there's... hmm ... 24 letters in between...
You turn to... tune in... and you drop out...
This night I have been working on the Win32 build of christine. It seems to be working fine. This version is just a test, for those that wanted to use christine on Microsoft Windows.
Altough that I have made some tests on a clean Windows XP installation cannot guarantee that the Win32 will work on your computer.
Anyway, if you are brave enough, download the win32 binary and report any bug you found on it.
If you want to compile it, you will need this:
Python 2.6 (I built Christine with it, but python >= 2.5 should work too)
Finally!!!, Christine, my beloved media player is running on Windows, this is something that I really wanted to do for the next release. I had spend the last nights trying to compile it, first I tried to compile GStreamer, then I realized that there are binaries in the GStreamer WinBuilds project, with a little less work, I tried to compile Christine using cygwin, but it didn't worked. Then using the Python's distutils I compiled the C modules and I created a binary with Py2exe
There it is, running. I still have a lot of work to do, because Christine is written for UNIX and several technologies like Dbus are not in win32, although it seems to be in progress.
I'm running it on a virtual machine and I haven't tested if it really plays something, I'll give a try tomorrow.
Last night I was trying to compile christine on windows using cygwin, I didn't made it but I think I know why, I will try to make it work this tonight.
I was playing with gstreamer video sinks, I found that using cacasink and aasink you can play videos in ascii mode ;-) funny even when (for me) has no good use.
Tonight I have been working on the display widget. That part of christine that displays the title and lenght of the song you are playing. I have set up a background to make it look less simple.
I also put the control buttons, the volume control and the search entry (which is hided in this screenshot) in a toolbar.
What do you think about this small changes?
I love this song, I heard it from the Slumdog Millionaire sound track. This video is an adaptation to the Ringa Ringa song.
The original video and the original sound track of it is here
