I’m using clutter 1.0, basically the one that install from apt in Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid

I’ll look through the release notes and see what they recommend.

I would like to use the gloss-mc google-code page, if you can make me a contributor/committer? Or do you rather me making a new one?

Again, this is open source and will stay open source, i’m just trying to put this together as hopefully a new “orbiter” for LinuxMCE, it might not get chosen, but at least i tried and learned a lot of clutter on the way.

I’ll be lurking on the irc channel while working on this, so maybe we can pm the information needed to add me to the project or what else.

Thanks you for starting this project, it looks great

Unfortunately this project is pretty much dead these days, I haven’t worked on it in quite some time. Almost certainly the problems you’re having are due to changes within newer releases of Clutter. Gloss 0.1 targeted Clutter 0.8 and in svn there is a test version that used the Clutter 1.0 API, but certainly anything newer than this will have serious problems.

Honestly, having not looked at the newer Clutter APIs, I’m not sure what functions replaced those that are listed as deprecated, or what state the python bindings are currently in. Your best bet might be to go through the Clutter release notes since 1.0 and see what they suggest for upgrading to newer APIs.
What version of clutter are you using?

Pulling this one out of the bin!!!

Just wanted to see if you are going to work on this any time soon again, or if it’s a dead project. If last, do you mind if i “use” your implementation in a project?
I will ofcourse honor the open source license and leave your name all over the files . It will stay open source and hopefully be implemented in another (also open source) media center. If you or anybody else is interested, it’s called linuxmce. I’m looking at a replacement for the GUI that is currently in place and would like to try and implement your gloss.

I tried to run gloss and ran into problems as follows, probably because clutter has evolved and some of the modules are included (like clutter-cairo into clutter e.g.)

This is the error i’m getting. If you can give me a pointer on where to start looking for “repairing” this, please let me know.

Gloss-mc looks great.
I haven’t tried it myself yet as I really need EPG functionality.

Any chance on getting our hands on 0.2?

Keep up the great work.

Cheers,
Karl

Gloss just exits, giving no info about what happened. Whatever is wrong, I am clueless. I’m pretty much at a deadend for the moment. Ideas?
