Idle Hacking

changes:

• added next/previous track buttons
• added volume adjuster
• fixed playlist window resizing
• added hotkeys for play/pause, stop, and file open
• allow adding multiple files to the playlist
• added a support for turning playlist looping on and off
• did some work on adding an about dialog

The volume adjuster is a little too sensitive with the gstreamer implementation. It also doesn’t change when using the scroll bar buttons, it only changes the volume when dragging the slider.

Software gstreamer, XUL, XULMusic

It uses gstreamer for linux and DirectShow for windows. I’m hoping to write a mac version soon that will probably use QuickTime.

Linux binaries

xulmusic-0.1.tar.gz

Windows binaries

xulmusic-0.1.tar.gz

Update:

The linux binaries were built on a fedora core 3 machine, having dependencies on gstreamer-0.8

Update:

I forgot the most important part! This is a xulrunner package. To try it out you need to download xulrunner. I would get one of the nightlies from mozilla.org.
If you’re curious about xulrunner the wiki page should provide a good starting place.
