Created attachment 4235 embedded patch against v0.2.0.6 With the disappearance of the browser plugin, I decided to write a patch for Parole to create something I call "embedded" mode. This makes Parole become a nice browser plugin for use with mozplugger. FTR, I added the following command line to my mozpluggerrc for the mime types that used to be available for the browser plugin: repeat stream noisy swallow(Parole) fill : parole -Ei "$file"
Created attachment 4237 the relevant bits of my /etc/mozpluggerrc Note, mozplugger does not work properly on my Ubuntu Oneiric installation...possibly due to a defect in mozplugger swallowing / reparenting windows...however, it works well on my Gentoo installation.
Thanks for the idea/patch! Could you try whether this works with current master? (There have been a lot of changes recently.)
Created attachment 4563 parole-embedded.patch embedded patch against git master. ...the old patch mostly works except for the status bar stuff...here is a new patch.
Created attachment 4564 parole-embedded.patch Some other cleanups of the UI and re-disabling F11 for full-screen.
Hey Mark! Just a quick note, as I'm about to go on holidays for a few weeks. We're eager to do a release soon, I'm not sure we can integrate it in 0.3.0 (I didn't have time to test at all, I was mainly trying to fix bugs), but I'll get back to it once the release is out the door. Hope that's fine with you, sorry I can't offer more now, but the time we had since we picked up Parole was very little (as you can see in the commitlog).
no worries...I've got it rolled in to my build, and that's all that matters to me for now. I just thought others would benefit from it as well.
bump...any chance we can get this rolled into master?
Hey, sorry, I somehow forgot about this and got busy with other stuff (mostly the display-dialog). I'll try to take a look at it towards the end of this week or next week – to be honest I still haven't tested it yet... Simon
I just tested your patch. While it generally works there's still a case of fullscreen-mode you overlooked. When you double-click the video-area, you're going into fullscreen-mode as well, so upon returning (e.g. by double-clicking again) you have the full parole instead of the "embedded" UI.
Now in master. (We'll probably try to make it a proper plugin at some point.)
