From kde-devel Tue Aug 14 20:14:16 2001 From: George Staikos Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 20:14:16 +0000 To: kde-devel Subject: KWinTV X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=99782032808463 Hello Everyone! This is a note to inform you that I have received no feedback from the KWinTV author and he doesn't seem to have done any work on it since November, so I am starting to maintain it myself in KDE CVS. It's in rather rough shape right now, but it does work and I have fixed many bugs already. I have also applied a patch by Stefan Hellwig which makes the channel scanner work and implements a brand new channel file format. Things are stable enough for me right now, but I can find ways to crash it still, and some things just aren't being done in a nice way. Ideally it could use a complete rewrite since it was originally based on KDE 1.x but I just don't have time for that. So for now, I'm just going to plug away at my TODO list which I have added to the app in CVS. You can find it under kdenonbeta/kwintv. This is not in the main build because it doesn't use the KDE build system yet. I'm not a pro at that, so it will take a while to merge it. For now I will continue to make releases fairly frequently at http://www.staikos.on.ca/~staikos/kwintv/. I would really appreciate any help that anyone could lend. I know that many of you use this application and it would be nice to get it back in shape. I'm considering dropping all KDE 1.x support from it now, and I'm particularily interested in getting the build system switched over to the KDE style. Number one on my TODO list though, is to fix the colour depth/bpp code. Right now it will not work on my machine at a depth of 24. Xawtv does so I am looking at how it manages. Number two on my TODO list is to get image scaling in place instead of using video mode changes to simulate fullscreen. Scaling looks _so_ much nicer on my machine anyways. So please, if you use this app and you know anything about KDE build system, icons, docs, or coding.... please lend a hand. Even good bug reports will be very useful.
