Nautilus

Set myself up to create a nautilus view for audio using GStreamer. I didn't know it would be that steep a learning curve. I'm trying to document as I go and I'm making a tarball with a test view for nautilus so that other people who want to write a view can get the autotools stuff and so on out of the way.

Back in insomnia land again, so I got up to finish it some more, and it isn't much yet, but it parses track length using GStreamer. Which is great, because it means it automatically will work for all audio that GStreamer can handle.

A preliminary screenshot is up. It doesn't look like much yet, it has no controls, and it doesn't play yet, but that will be the easy part.

Thanks to the help of snorp, I was able to also write a simple app that loads the view outside of nautilus. Helps a lot in debugging. And furthermore, I'm actually trying to get this right by writing simple test apps and abstracting bits and so on.

Maybe I'll even get to finish this one.

Time for bed now.
