http://base-art.net/Articles/73/ <p>After nearly 4 months of active development, the first alpha release of <a class="reference" href="http://www.fluendo.com/elisa/">Elisa</a> pops up in the intraweb. This is a MediaCenter application developed in Python using technologies like Twisted for networking and loop, OpenGL for rendering and <a class="reference" href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/">GStreamer</a> for multimedia playback. The project is funded by <a class="reference" href="http://www.fluendo.com/">Fluendo</a>.</p> <p>If you want to see how it looks like, checkout the <a class="reference" href="http://www.fluendo.com/elisa/screencast.php">screencast</a> i made using the amazing <a class="reference" href="http://live.gnome.org/Istanbul">Istanbul</a> tool and rendered using the <a class="reference" href="http://www.flumotion.net/cortado/">Cortado</a> applet. A big thank you to Istanbul' author, Zaheer, for his great work, especially for OpenGL apps capture support!</p> <p>If you're not a Java fan, go checkout videos on <a class="reference" href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3318494455519177805">GoogleVideo</a> and <a class="reference" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXpw8hpJodo">YouTube</a>!</p> <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XXpw8hpJodo"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XXpw8hpJodo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="350" bgcolor="#000000"></embed></object><p>Basically the version we are releasing is the one that was showed during <a class="reference" href="http://guadec.org/">Guadec</a> 3 weeks ago. It has basic working features (see details on website), but the code is still quite unstable and tends to crash sometimes ;) Don't hesitate to try it out anyway, we already had some interesting feedback and few developers start to show up on our IRC channel.</p> en The contents of this blog are available for non-commercial use only.
