Thread: nGhost Media Center Beta

cool stuff!, i too use xstroke with mplayer, only problem i have with it is half the time i cant get xstroke to STOP recognizing gestures, it tries to draw when i tap the OFF button (the little pencil) ...

alright, amazing developers, question, is the try4.deb package on the "current" site the same as what's in the main svn? basicly i ask this b/c since attempting to install v.95 on either of my gentoo boxes i run into run time errors:

xeon main # /usr/local/bin/nghost
Could not open input file: options/update_streams.php
Opening file 'options.conf' failed
Opening file 'font.conf' failed
Error loading font tintin.ttf

version output

xeon main # /usr/local/bin/nghost -v

Hi,

I believe (but i may be wrong) that the program will look for options.conf in your current folder.

Hope this will help.

the try4.deb is nearest to the current state of unstable svn (still haven't merged with main yet and won't until its proven stable). I'll try to get try5 out today with some fixes and improvements. I'll also get out a snapshot of the source.

nGhost unstable will look for the options.conf in ~/.nghost, /etc/nghost/, or in the current directory where the binary is. It will look for the skin and related configurations in /usr/local/share/nghost or /usr/share/nghost or in ~/.nghost.

Just for an update here is what we are working on in the unstable branch:

- Searching
- Keyboard/Joystick input control
- New IPC module/plugin framework

Here's a lame video of searching, video and other stuff:
nghost-video

Much has transpired over the past few weeks and new planning for the nGhost project is underway. We are calling this release a 1.0 version and new work will be started shortly on a 2.0 branch that will revolutionize car entertainment

Here is what is new in nGhost 1.0alpha:

• New Dynamic Skinning Engine (thanks barry for the xml parser)
• New sqlite and mysql plugins (thanks kshots)
• Vastly improved GUI (thanks eubey)

You've seen screenshots and a video in this thread already so I'll cut to the point:

You can get help with compiling running in the forum, the wiki, or the LinuxICE IRC channel at freenode.com #linuxice.

Hope to hear some good feedback soon.

thanks

This is a pretty good one (IMHO ).

checkout http://www.nghost-project.com and download the new nGhost 1.0.

Thanks again to all those who submitted patches and to all the nGhost devs.

cheers!

Hi there.

Just a little bugger : the source package on your sourceforge page is broken : http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...kage_id=216304

If you download it, the archive is corrupted ( gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file ) and the package is extracted to nghost-0.1

I tried on two differents computers with different internet access, same problem.

Hope you will fix it soon

It should work now (sf.net link updated)

cheers
