newly-made plugin for emesene : Image timer

[liuggio]

hi world !!
I made a new plugin i called "Image Timer".
every time interval,changes avatar with a random image in a folder.
In properties you can modify folder and time interval.

I think is quite stable.

where i have to send my work?
by mail?
attach here?

i wait.

[Astu]

You can temporarily attach it here, so that we can try and test it =). I think that it will be stable enough it will be added to emesene, but I think that this is totally up to developers...

[liuggio]

yes no problem.

[liuggio]

V 0.1a
little update:

1- code little cleaned
2- in proprieties :
a checkbox for random or sequential image   
(so u can use it like a movie)
so description become
Every time interval, picks an image (random or sequential) from a selected folder.V 0.1a



in future i'd like to join with the webcam shot so avatar is in realtime.

do you think is useful?
the quick (and dirty) way is connect with video4linux or motion.

Nuggio webcam is a nice idea ^^ but pay attention: MSN may kick you out because of flooding..

for webcam stuff: have a look at gstreamer and it's python bindings, I was able to do a quick movie player with it and v4l(2) should work too:

gst-launch-0.10 v4lsrc ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=320,height=240 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink

f.e. .. Some webcams are using v4l2src nowadays...

OR you could try with mencoder (mplayer), but I'm not sure if it's possible to make still jpgs with mencoder .. ^^

a question: why the plugin is disabled every time I start emesene?

please fix this!

[liuggio]

someone could help us?

[clandestino]

This plugin is very nice, but images are listed by file dimension (from smaller ones to bigger ones) and not in alphabetical order. Please correct this.

[Der_Metzgermeister91]

i like it liuggio ty 

btw, it can be possible to develop a scriping feature in order to give the images different time values?, i.e.:

Code:

image1.jpg, 5 (sec)
image2.jpg, 2

a question: why the plugin is disabled every time I start emesene?

I've used a bunch of code from this project in a plugin I'm working on but it's having this disabling issue. any ideas?

[marramao]

A simple patch to update the plugin for the new Plugin manager (without you see a row empty for this plugin in Plugin window)
and to solve the boot enabling problem

Code:

<
---
>     description = _('Every time interval,picks an image from a selected folder.V 0.1a')
>     authors = { 'liuggio' : 'liuggio YAHOO' }
>     website = ''
>     displayName = _('Image Timer')
>     name = 'Image_Timer'
>

>         #self.enabled = False

Bye
