My Digital Corner

I update enna compilation informations. We can now find here how to compile enna on Ubuntu 8.04.
This sheet present compilation of enna "next gen" that you can find on sourceforge repository (see this link for more informations about this version). It is always in his first stage, but you can actually use it to listen to music. Video and Pictures plugin are not yet complete.

Depuis une semaine maitenant, http://www.digital-corner.org a changé de place. Il ya 3 ans, lorsque je me suis lancé dans l'écriture de Enna, j'ai acheté ce nom de domaine avec un pack 50Mo, une base mysql et un Php préinstallé. A l'époque je me demandai ce que j'allais bien pouvoir faire de ces 50Mo. Mais apres avoir installé plusieurs CMS (joomla, modx et maintenant drupal) et avoir perdu les droits d'écriture sur certains fichier, les 50Mo ne suffisaient plus.

For Two month, I'm writing new version of Enna. As you can see In my previous post, this version run on Maemo. But the main goal is always to write a complete Media Center arround EFL libs for PC. You can found this new version here :

svn co https://enna.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/enna/trunk/ng/enna enna
and as usual :
cd enna && ./autogen.sh && make && make install

At the moment you should be able to play music file if you have backend compiled and installed. The first backend you can use is emotion. But this weekend GeeXBox Guys added new backend based on libplayer. Thanks Ben to have added this new feature. Development go fast, and I hope to release an alpha version soon with few features : Only Music and Video playback. Development of new modules is fast (Only 1 hour to write libplayer backend for example) and new plugins should come soon.
I tought to write squeezecenter plugin, to control this network player with enna.
And if i have time, I will provide deb packages for maemo.

More comming soon :)

I have'nt blogged for a long time, but today I have an exciting news. Enna works on N810. So for the moment it's a bit quick and dirty, I have to polish packages, and enna have not a lot of functions yet, but as you can see in this video, EFL are very awesome. They are really really fast. A big thanks to all guys that have speed this amazing libs. You have done a really good job !

You can download this litle video here : Format Mpeg4/ACC 58secondes 4.4Mo
Or the youtube version :

More coming soon ...

I work hard on the next version of enna. I have review a lot of old old, corrected it and now I'm working on the future theme. People don't like the previous brown version, so I decided to have a new theme more actual. Following, mockups I'm working on. I'm not completly happy with this mockups, and new version is in preparation. I think that to have a darker background, and saturated colors for selected parts could be really beautifull.

I played a little bit more with evas and reflection. In my last post I proposed a way to add reflection with Evas. But this code was false.

Correct code have been added to enna, and you can view the result here :

Great news for enna,
two weeks ago it have been added to CVS's Enlightenment. Thanks to Vincent to add it :)
I keep sourceforge's SVN for the moment. Last changes can be found on SVN and I merge the code with CVS one when I have stable code.
I'll do my best to keep enna compiling agains last EFL changes. So if you have troubles compiling or running Enna, please try with CVS sources.

You can checkout the code with the folowing command:
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.enlightenment.org:/var/cvs/e co misc/enna

Few days ago, I received in my Mailbox a mail from maemo. I'm accepeted to the N810 maemo device program. I have received discount code to get N810 for "only" 99€.

Thank you Maemo, Thank you Nokia !

Last week, I was reading this blog post and I was thinking of doing thig like this wit evas. In this code, all is done with clutter and gdk. Clutter is a canvas library based on OpenGL, glib and gobject. But it's not my problem, How can I do this with evas. Let's go, I need :
