"corsair: error while loading shared libraries: libqtopia.so.1: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory"

I'm on a 6000 running the stock ROM (Qtopia 1.5.4). Corsair 0.2.4-1 worked fine.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Corsair 0.2.4-1 is not an official release, did you get a version from a different location than mine?  Mine's the "official" version, but I'm really building it for the PMA400, not Zauruses at all.  It's just a happy coincidence that it works for many Zaurus users.

I'd be happy to provide alternate builds if I knew how to build them or if someone else wanted to send them to me.

Well, it works as well as 0.2.5 on my 860; I'll have to find the prefs dialogue.

It's in the View menu.  The menus are in the topmost button on the sidebar.

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.

Downloads are here

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

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.

I've recently written and released  Corsair, an RSS and Podcast Aggregator for Qtopia.  If you don't know what that means, follow the link and read the FAQ

It's actually being developed for the Archos PMA400, not the Zaurus, so this may not work at all for most of you, but from what I've read there's some chance that even the binary package will work on Zaurus, so I think this is an appropriate forum.  If not, the source is there and maybe someone will find it useful and portable to the Zaurus too.  I'd love any feedback from anyone who tries it.

It writes all data to $(HOME)/Documents/corsair and subdirectories thereof.  On a PMA, that maps to /media/Documents/corsair.  I don't know what it will map to on a Zaurus, hopefully something sensible!  ("$(HOME)" is actually determined by Qtopia's homePathDir())
