Corsair - Rss/podcast Aggregator Options

[mistermix]

Nothing has been posted on Sourceforge since 9/10, and I haven't heard from the author about my last set of changes, so I don't know what's going on with this project.

mistermix: could you provide your patches? I will update OE copy then.

[mistermix]

Here is a gzip'd file of all of my patches. Let me know if you want it in a different format.

Best format (not only for me) is unified diff (cvs diff -u). I applied your patch to 0.2.0 source and created unified version.

Will check does it apply with all OE patches to corsair (there is one which do something OPIE related to it)

nothing more on updates? perhaps commandline interface, like updating feeds, option to autodownload the whole articles etc...would be great!

None of these corsair packages will install on my Cacko 1.23 C1000. I get an error message from the package installer:

The filename of this package includes character (sic) this application can't handle.  Please change the filename and retry install.

How do I get around this??

Edit: Nevermind, I just didn't place the ipk in the Install_Files folder.
Trying the software out now.

Edit2:
Works great on my C1000.

Another good feature would be to have a font increase/decrease for better readability...

While I find the Corsair to be extremely useful for my recent RSS aggregation on my Zaurus - I still cant uinderstand why I cannot see the full feed. I seem to get only partial feeds for most of my RSS feeds (when they do provide a Full feed) ?

Any ideas, or am I missing something ?

I've patched up the corsair 0.2.4 source code to compile against Qtopia 1.5.0, which means it should run on all zauruses. I've tested it on a Zaurus SL-C860 with the Cacko 1.22 ROM. The current ldd output looks like this:

CODE

$ ldd /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/corsair
       libqte.so.2 => /home/QtPalmtop/lib/libqte.so.2 (0x40022000)
       libqpe.so.1 => /home/QtPalmtop/lib/libqpe.so.1 (0x40456000)
       libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x405df000)
       libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4060e000)
       libjpeg.so.62 => /home/QtPalmtop/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x40729000)
       libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4074f000)

       /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

The patch I attached should be applied after the "corsair_patches.cdiff.gz" has been applied to the CVS sourcecode of corsair. I'll come up with an ipk soon

Contrary to popular belief, I'm still alive!

I added most of mistermix's patch to the main source and put out a new binary release, labelled 0.2.5, along with a source tarball release so that there will be an "official" reference point other than CVS. However, it does NOT have the change to use "kino2" as the default player, as the old option is still correct for the PMA. This is something that would be settable via preferences if only there were a preferences dialog. All of his other changes are now in the main source.

I also did not integrate the QPE 1.5 patch, as that's not what I'm using to build it, and it would fail in my environment as given.

But hopefully everything's at least closer together now than it was.

There's one other change: if an enclosure has a video mime-type, then Corsair will attempt to launch a video player instead of an audio player. This works for a very limited subset of video podcasts. In fact I don't even have any public ones that have video that works on the PMA, but it was requested by someone who had a test feed set up, and it was easy enough to do. This again would benefit greatly from a preferences dialog.

If it turns out I'm really not dead, a preferences dialog is obviously the next task that needs doing the most. But no guarantees. That would qualify for a 0.3.0 release. Submissions from 3rd parties are welcome!

If you need to contact me, please use "corsair at rumsey dot org" as my address.

corsair 0.2.5 is available in OpenZaurus :D

[tiny ogre]

I just checked in a rudimentary preferences dialog to CVS, only has UI for setting the audio player and video player, nothing else, but that was the main thing holding up a unified PMA/Zaurus release it seems. No new release yet, I'm going to try to put together a Downloads dialog (combining both already-downloaded and pending downloads, all in one list, so you can easily see what's available to play or soon will be) in the next week or two and call it 0.3.0.

But as the last ~10 months have clearly demonstrated, I am not a reliable maintainer of this project, so no promises

What's the progress on Corsair? I've since put Keroplayer and dmBlogger to the side and re-installed Kino in order to use Corsair exclusively, but I'd love a few more preferences such as auto expire, zPlayer/Sharp Music Player support, and groups. This is such a good start... it would be a shame to see Corsair simply languish.

[tiny ogre]

I released an updated version (0.2.6) today. It has the preferences dialog I mentioned months ago. The only preferences right now are what programs to use for playing audio and video. It also has a bug fix for redirect handling (If some feeds or their file downloads weren't working for you, this may have been the cause). That's it, a pretty small update, but the preferences dialog should make life a little easier for Zaurus users.

The default players are still set up for the PMA, not the Zaurus.

I'm obviously not spending a lot of time working on this, but patches from others for anything you'd like to add are always welcome.
