tumbler startup script

[Juanito]

Would it possible to add a startup script to the tumbler extension - something like:

Code: [Select]

$ cat /usr/local/tce.installed/tumbler
#!/bin/sh

read USER < /etc/sysconfig/tcuser

if [ ! -d /home/"$USER"/.thumbnails/normal ]; then
  mkdir -p /home/"$USER"/.thumbnails/normal
  chown -R "$USER":staff /home/"$USER"/.thumbnails/normal
fi

..tumbler won't start without this in some circumstances

I see, tumbler need ~/.thumbnails. I will add it to the Xfce4 startup which creates the proper running environment. As tumbler is part of Xfce4 I do not want to introduce a new startup script.

[Juanito]

Well OK, but I'm using it without Xfce4...

In this case I will add the startup script, no problem.

How are you using tumbler?

How are you using tumbler?

With rygel - it starts tumbler if found (and if the folder mentioned earlier is present).

Startup script added, extension submitted.

P.S: Didn't check script, just copied from your post

Thanks - rygel now streams thumbnails..

..although two different renderers only show the image thumbnails and not the video ones

Installing gst-plugins-base.tcz gst-plugins-good.tcz gst-plugins-bad.tcz it works. Will update .dep

I didn't meant to indicate that there was a problem with tumbler - the video thumbnails have been created in ~/.thumbnails - but rather that there's a problem with either rygel or the media renderer

[bmarkus]

gst plugins are soft depenedencies and not listed in tumbler.tcz.dep therefore using a clean Xfce4 install no thumbs for video files. I will add a note to the info file. I'm still hasitating to add gst plugins to .dep or not. Functionality is nice, but adds a significant overhead forcing installation always for those are not playing video.

[Juanito]

I'd leave the gst plugins dep out and make a note in the info file

In many cases I'd expect the user would need to load the gst plugins in order to play the video anyway..
