PiTiVi

Windows Media and PiTiVi

WMV files did not import and seek properly in PiTiVi… until now. Edward has committed a fix in the GStreamer “ugly” plugins today and, as such, PiTiVi directly benefits from this. Not that anyone uses this dead/crappy format anyway, but it’s always nice to be able to back up the “anything in, anything out” claim ;)

Planets in orbit

In case there actually are people subscribed to the PiTiVi planet (i.e. who know that it actually exists!), the new URL is http://www.pitivi.org/planet (until further notice… maybe one day it will become planet.pitivi.org, but I’m le tired).

Previewer in the file chooser

Well hello there. I haven’t blogged much about PiTiVi lately, since I hadn’t kept up with the project’s happenings for a month or so. My PiTiVi bug mail folder was getting out of hand, so did some triaging today and discovered some gems. Namely, “Pier Carteri” has been hard at work, tackling two of the items on the PiTiVi Love list: a feature to revert to the saved version and a previewer in the file chooser, which looks roughly like this:

Summer of Code is here!

Icon view in the Source List

Stephen “lostcookie” Griffiths recently started coding on PiTiVi, learning the codebase as he works through the PiTiVi Love list. He has done awesome work on the source list to implement an “icon view” mode and has managed to somehow not become insane while I pointed out all his mistakes and bugs :)

More bug triaging

I have requested additional super cow powers on GNOME bugzilla to be able to do some serious bug triaging in PiTiVi’s bug list. I have

Single channel waveforms

Brandon committed a one-liner fix for bug 607614 today. Indeed, until now, if you inserted a 6-channels (5.1) clip into the timeline, you ended up with nonsense like this (as some called it, “corduroy waveforms”):

300

Wow, it looks like I’ve been mentionned in the GNOME Bugzilla 2009 statistics ^_^; I’m slightly taken by surprise, as I did not know such reports were published each year. It’s quite motivating and makes you smile… but then this is mainly a result of the incredible progress of PiTiVi in 2009. I’m not sure I’ll get to file so many bugs in 2010 and later, because there may be less “basic stuff to get fixed before I can use it”.
