GSSDP 0.7.1 and GUPnP 0.13.2 released!

GSSDP 0.7.1 released!

- Don't leak target regex.
- Make GSSDPClient ignore Point to Point interfaces.
- Use SO_REUSEPORT if present. Darwin and some BSDs don't have SO_REUSEADDR, but
  SO_REUSEPORT.
- If we can't create a request socket don't try to create a multicast socket.
- Have specific GError code for interfaces without an IP address.
- Actually remove gssdp_client_new_full().

Bugs fixed:

1898 - GSSDPClient keeps autoselecting my VPN
1810 - Not possible to run multiple ssdp clients on darwin
1800 - leak of a gregex in gssdp-resource-browser
1796 - gssdp_client_new_full is declared in header but not implemented

Hello,
I am a software engineer from Bangalore, India.

I am exploring an option of writing DMP and DMC device categories.

It would be great if you could advice which approach would be better:
1. Add these services to RyGel OR
2. Add these services to over GUpnP.

Primarily I would like to know if RyGel's architecture is designed to be scaled up to implement DMP and DMC, or only suited for DMS.

THanks and Regards,
Srikanth

1. DMC doesn't offer services so the choice for that should be fairly easy. :)

2. We already have one DMR implementation in rygel so all that is needed is to move some code to rygel core to make it a bit easier to implement DMR in plugins, which is waiting on intel to relicence their code. Anyway that doesn't in anyway stop you from implementing your DMR as Rygel plugin.

Thanks for your response. I was also looking for DMP implementation. Any advice on that? I had posted some more queries on the mailing list.

I might be able to answer your question if you be a bit more specific. I hardly know anything about your requirements or restraints.

I strongly suggest you familiar yourself with GUPnP APIs (don't miss gupnp-av) and Rygel's plugin API and then base you decisions for both DMR and DMP on that.

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...
