is it possible to use gupnp in windows apps? (or more importantly in cross platform apps)

I don't think that is currently possible. :( Any porting effort will be highly appreciated though.

I've never programmed for windows :)
I only wanted to add upnp support for xchat, that can be compiled in windows.

What is the main problem? Vala? (I'm not really thinking in visualc, but in mingw or cygwin)

There is NO Vala involved. Only gupnp-media-server code is in Vala. The main problem is that no one had a chance to even try it out on windows. The only unix-specific bits I see in the code are network-related stuff so that need to be ported at least.

do gupnp-tools really require a specific gtk+ version? configure thinks gtk+-2.12.x is needed but if there really anything there that gtk+-2.10.x doesn't have?

The only reason i started to require 2.12 was that i wanted to use the new nice and easy API for tooltips. This is only used in universal-cp and one can either:

1. Make universal-cp not use this API if it's not available.

2. Make the build system to only give warning and not build universal-cp if gtk+ version is lower than 2.12. However we better require 2.10 at least since i might be using API that was added in 2.10.

Although I'll prefer #1 but patches for both of them are welcomed. :)

Welcome to the virtual world!

About two months ago I informed  the followers of this blog that I will now be working on SPICE project  for Red Hat . Judging from the questions I was asked after that, I realized that not many people know about SPICE so I thought I write at least one blog entry dedicated to explaining what SPICE is all about. Before I get to SPICE itself, let me first introduce you to the world SPICE lives in. Virtualization and Virtual Machines (VMs) For some reason, I feel that I should leave the definitions to wikipedia  and only quote it so that is what I am going to do: " Virtualization, in computing, is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as a hardware platform, operating system, a storage device or network resources. " " A virtual machine (VM) is a "completely isolated operating system installation within your normal operating system".Today, this is implemented by either software emulation or hardware virtualization ".

clutter-gst

After I was informed about the existence of ClutterGstVideoSink, I quickly modified my super-video application to make it use that. But as soon as i did that, i stopped getting even the static image. After careful analysis for days, I figured that I was supposed to call gst_bus_add_signal_watch() on the pipeline bus since ClutterGstVideoSink uses messages on the bus combined with signal handlers to render the frames in the application thread. This is obviously a 'dirty' hack; a hack because gst elements are supposed to do all the media processing in the pipeline thread, dirty because gst bus is not meant for media transport. After this realization, I had been working on it from time to time. First I tried to make the actual rendering happen in the gst pipeline thread by using the clutter's thread safety primitives and that worked quite nicely in the end except for one minor problem: The call to clutters rendering thread blocks if it happens after the clutter main loop has b

Shame Ubuntu shame

I am no more a fan of Ubuntu. The reason is their recent demonstration of lack of community spirit. Here is the release announcement of Ubuntu hardy alpha6. If you scroll-down you can see the gnome-system-monitor's new cool "Resources" view featured with a nice screenshot. Since Karl-Lattimer worked really hard to make this happen, he asked to be given personal credit on that page. Don't know about others but I see this as a very reasonable thing to ask. The result of this request can be seen in the announcement of hardy beta. They just removed the feature from the announcement. Shame Ubuntu shame. UPDATE: It's interesting how most of the comments that are from people who got pissed without actually caring to understand the main point of this blog entry (which me and Karl-Lattimer tried to emphasize in the comments) are posting as Anonymous. :) Acknowledging the possibility that they might not think comments are worth reading before commenting, let me make it c
