[09:19] < wyleu> What is GStreamer?

[09:27] < MS-> "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GStreamer"

[09:27] < MS-> GStreamer is a multimedia framework written in the C programming language with the type system based on GObject. GStreamer serves a host of multimedia applications, such as video editors, streaming media broadcasters, and media players.

[09:27] < MS-> Designed to be cross-platform, it is known to work on Linux (x86, PowerPC and ARM), Solaris (x86 and SPARC), Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows and OS/400.

[09:27] < MS-> GStreamer has bindings for programming-languages like Python, C++, Perl, GNU Guile and Ruby. GStreamer is free software, licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License.

[15:16] *** Chong- has joined #kamaelia

[15:18] < Chong-> afternoon, all.

[15:18] < Chong-> Any know if pygame has any function to load image from an url instead of local file?

[15:19] < vmlemon_> Hi

[15:19] < Chong-> s/Any/Anyone

[15:25] *** vmlemon_ assumes someone will answer later :|

[15:25] < Chong-> hope so :-) thanks, vmlemon_.

[16:49] < MS-> (17:35:46) Chong-: Any know if pygame has any function to load image from an url instead of local file?

[16:49] < MS-> No, it doesn't. You'll need to grab it directly.

[16:55] < Chong-> MS-: Thanks. what is the easiest way to do it?

[17:03] < Chong-> MS-: I just saw urllib, I think urlopen should do the job. I'll try it first.

[17:17] < vmlemon_> I'm not too sure, but can't you use one of the HTTP components with LikeFile and pass that into PyGame?

[17:20] < Chong-> vmlemon_: thanks, I'll have a look :-)

[17:20] < vmlemon_> It was just an idle thought, and I have no idea if it'll work or not

[17:20] < vmlemon_> It's always with a try, that said...

[17:21] < Chong-> vmlemon_: yep. thanks.

[17:22] < vmlemon_> No problem

[17:22] *** vmlemon_ throws kamlogbot some cat biscuits ;)

[17:39] < MS-> Chong-: The kamaelia HTTP components spring to mind as the most sensible option

[17:48] < Chong-> MS-: thanks. just managed to do it by using urllib.urlopen and cStringIO.StringIO. I'll try kamaelia HTTP components later.

[17:50] < MS-> You realise that you have to now put that code inside a thread?

[17:50] < MS-> Since urllib is blocking?

[17:50] *** vmlemon_ just had an idea for a HTTP server component-based system that takes a HTTP URL like /record/outputfile.ts?freq=498.000000&pid=0x2000, tuned the DVB component as specified and records it in the named file, until the user goes to the URL /record/stop/outputfile.ts

[17:50] < MS-> (hence the reason for the HTTP components existing)

[17:51] < MS-> vmlemon_: That's an interesting idea

[17:53] < vmlemon_> (it could then make the browser download the finished TS file after the stop request is issued)

[17:53] < vmlemon_> In theory, you could also have it handle named channels, too

[18:04] < MS-> yep

[18:04] < Chong-> MS-: not sure what you mean "urllib is blocking". other parts of the code can still run after calling urllib.urlopen

[18:05] *** MS- is in the middle of stuff right now

[18:05] < MS-> urllib is blocking though

[18:05] < MS-> (just because one operation "returns" immediately doesn't mean it's not blocking)

[18:08] < Chong-> MS-: I see. sometimes bad network connection would cause it to block the whole program

[18:12] < Chong-> and this is one advantage of kamaelia components :-)

[18:14] < MS-> Yep - can either fling urllib into a thread (easily) or use the http components

[18:16] *** MS- is getting bored of going through the stuff he's going through at the moment

[18:16] < MS-> it's taking forever

[18:17] < MS-> (started about a week ago)

[18:17] < vmlemon_> If only Kamaelia could handle/automate physical tasks like filling in paperwork, and other menial things ;)

[18:20] < Chong-> MS-: thanks, i'll try both. Can the outbox data of kamaelia HTTP components be handled by StringIO?

[18:20] < MS-> vmlemon_: I'd prefer that at the moment

[18:21] < Chong-> vmlemon_: it needs a hardware kambot ;)

[18:21] < MS-> Chong-: "(20:22:06) ***MS- is in the middle of stuff right now"

[18:21] < vmlemon_> Hehe

[18:21] < MS-> (sorry)

[18:21] < Chong-> MS-: sorry :/

[18:22] < MS-> (believe me, I'd rather be answering your q's, packaging up the new release etc)

[18:25] < Chong-> hehe, poor MS- ;)

[18:26] < vmlemon_> Cool, http://googletalk.blogspot.com/2007/12/merry-christmas-god-jul-and.html

[18:34] < Chong-> vmlemon_: very interesting. Not aware of google talk before :/

[19:31] *** MS- starts his forager going now on a third different machine

[19:32] < MS-> sigh
