I’m done!

Finalised feature list:

• DBus bindings for both Jokosher and PiTiVi
• Mini remote for Jokosher
• Ability to pair Jokosher and PiTiVi projects, and allow for automatic loading of both
• Importing directly from a Jokosher session to a PiTiVi session

Unfinished:

• Synchronised recording hasn’t been merged, since PiTiVi’s webcam recording isn’t currently usable

Code branches available at https://code.launchpad.net/~sylnai

For testing I used ~/bin/jokosher as follows:

#!/bin/bash
cd ~/jokosher-dbus/Jokosher/
./Jokosher $@

And here are a few shots of it in action:

Opening a Linked Project

A Linked Project Running

What I currently have sorted:

• Jokosher DBus Bindings
• PiTiVi DBus Bindings
• Simple remote
• Synchronised record/play/pause/stop
• Syncing of Audio

What I’d also like to add (from most likely to least likely):

• Nice UI controls to enable and disable integration
• Allowing a project to be set as PiTiVi+Jokosher, which upon loading, will load the other program and the right project file
• GStreamer network sync’d clocks between the two

APIs now almost finished, calling these Beta (will add links to them in a bit), working on getting them interacting nicely.

Jokosher's DBus API

I now have all of the base DBus methods in place, and have been playing around with creating a remote

The simple command line remote is now uploaded to my branch of Jokosher. Or you can read the source code here.

I made the command line remote to partially to test my methods, and partially to learn more about connecting to DBus objects for later on in the project.

Jokosher's mini text-based DBus client

Jokosher now has working DBus bindings, which can pull data on what is currently being run, this was my first objective, and it now works

DBus test for Jokosher to pull out the title of the current Project.

My GSoC proposal has been accepted! and I’ve started work on adding DBus to Jokosher and PiTiVi to allow them to connect to each other, more to come soon
