<p>Last weekend I started playing with <a class="reference" href="http://telepathy.freedesktop.org">Telepathy</a> and its tubes in <a class="reference" href="http://elisa.fluendo.com">Elisa</a>. What I prototyped is two plugins:</p> <ul class="simple"> <li>a Telepathy plugin able to:<ul> <li>join a Multi-User Chatroom (over local-xmpp or standard Jabber)</li> <li>share a set of DBus Tubes in that room</li> <li>connect to other Tubes shared in the room and do remote DBus calls</li> </ul> </li> <li>a Recommended plugin able to:<ul> <li>get a list of media recommended by people from the chatroom</li> <li>recommend a media to all people of the chatroom</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>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.</p> <p>NB: Yes I know, Elisa on my MacMini is running slowww, on the eeepc it runs better ;)</p> <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lCIkO6DUXfM&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lCIkO6DUXfM&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><p>Many other cool features can be implemented following those principles:</p> <ul class="simple"> <li>share media with your IM roster</li> <li>chat</li> <li>stream videos (?)</li> <li>media playback notifications over IM</li> <li>and many things I haven't yet thought about :)</li> </ul> http://base-art.net/Articles/105/ 2008-10-28T13:50:05.000001+01:00 http://base-art.net/Comments/268/ phil <p>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.</p> <p>Then I do another recommendation but the other way around ;)</p> 2008-10-28T13:25:28.000001+01:00 http://base-art.net/Comments/266/ Julien <p>I can't see anything on the video (and i'm too lazy to watch carefully) but it sounds great, the future is coming :).</p> <p>Good job sir, i'm looking forward to have that on my desktop.</p>
