Elisa and Telepathy: experimenting with Elisa users socialization
Last weekend I started playing with Telepathy and its tubes in Elisa. What I prototyped is two plugins:
- a Telepathy plugin able to:
- join a Multi-User Chatroom (over local-xmpp or standard Jabber)
- share a set of DBus Tubes in that room
- connect to other Tubes shared in the room and do remote DBus calls
- a Recommended plugin able to:
- get a list of media recommended by people from the chatroom
- recommend a media to all people of the chatroom
The work is reallly early stage and I had issues connecting to a Jabber MUC, I need to debug it and eventually report to the Telepathy hackers :) Anyway, here's a little demo video showing off 2 Elisa users sharing Youtube video links over the local network.
NB: Yes I know, Elisa on my MacMini is running slowww, on the eeepc it runs better ;)
Many other cool features can be implemented following those principles:
- share media with your IM roster
- chat
- stream videos (?)
- media playback notifications over IM
- and many things I haven't yet thought about :)

Well you see a video appearing in one of the menus of the tiny machine, that's a video recommended by the user running Elisa on the big screen.
Then I do another recommendation but the other way around ;)

I can't see anything on the video (and i'm too lazy to watch carefully) but it sounds great, the future is coming :).
Good job sir, i'm looking forward to have that on my desktop.
