[02:20] how to install "Ubuntu.Components" version 1.3 on vivid desktop? [06:41] good morning === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun === davidcalle_ is now known as davidcalle [08:25] ogra_: You've talked about writing apps which directly use EGL, bypassing Mir altogether. Is that possible/sensible? I'm working on a port of the Godot games engine and am just about to get to the guts of all of this [08:26] mcphail, i'm not sure what access confinement allows you to libGLES and libEGL ... [08:26] aah - good point [08:26] i guess that would need to be tested :) [08:26] if you can reach them, sure, you should be able to directly use GLES [08:27] ogra_: I'll try the Mir convenience functions first, then. I know they are supposed to work from confinement [08:27] yeah, Mir as SDL2 should just work [08:28] ogra_: unfortunately, SDL2 isn't used here so I'm writing from scratch [08:29] ogra_: Using libraries I don't understand, employing abstraction layers I don't understand, in a language I don't understand :) [08:29] yay [08:30] steep learning curve [08:30] Success is guaranteed [08:30] definitely :) [09:24] * thepeter has up to date ubuntu on PC with SDK ubuntu on phone in developers mode and now it's time for to get started using these gadgets === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk [11:53] nik90: sorry, I was away on holiday; are the podbird stats still of any use to you? === chihchun_afk is now known as chihchun [12:27] Elleo: no problem, I was just curious to know. looking forward to the new release. [12:29] nik90: ah right, well we're up to 2987 users now, with 4525 total downloads (2989 downloads for version 0.6, so most users have probably upgraded and continued using it, which is nice) [12:30] nik90: I'm hoping to get the last few branches reviewed and merged this weekend, then will put out a call for translation updates if there are any new strings and release a few days after that [12:31] Elleo: There are a few string changes in the last few branches. A call for translations will be necessary. [12:31] nik90: okay [12:32] Elleo: If possible, try to reduce the aggresiveness of the on start check for new episodes to only once per day. It seems to be the most requested by users. [12:32] Should be a one-liner change since we kinda of do it for episode cleanup script. [12:32] sure thing [12:36] hello there! just a new ubuntu phone user :) [12:36] hi === chihchun is now known as chihchun_afk [12:58] Awesomeness with "import Ubuntu.Thumbnailer 0.1" -> http://i.imgur.com/FWIDJQt.png === davidcalle_ is now known as davidcalle [13:00] davidcalle_: What is the advantage of Ubuntu Thumbnailer over manually setting the UbuntuShape source to the image url? [13:00] davidcalle: Does it help improve the loading behavior, memory usage and such? [13:01] nik90, advantage is: you don't need an actual image source, it thumbnails local tracks, videos, and allows you to request album and artist art over the network at specific sizes. [13:02] davidcalle: ooh...so I could just provide it with a local podcast and have it fetch the thumbnail automatically. That's nice [13:03] nik90, the example above is simply Image items with the source indicated on the side [14:26] davidcalle, nik90, we use the thumbnailer in music for all cover art fwiw :-) [15:49] hm... and a few weeks later... [15:49] mcphail: any news? ☺ [19:57] nik90: boo [20:03] * popey waves [20:04] hello [20:04] is the ubuntu touch emulator working? [20:04] good question. [20:05] boo [20:05] I guess not yet [20:05] i saw mention of it being better now [20:05] popey: yay that worked :) [20:05] not tried recently [20:05] yay nik90 [20:05] I started an app and I can not see the real results [20:33] I read a snippet regarding album art in the Music core app earlier, is there a way to tell the app to fetch an image for an artist? [20:33] Its not essential its just that I'm a little OCD when it comes to my music collection! [20:34] Alternatively, can you set an artist's image? [23:05] * ahoneybun 's app has hit the 3000 range [23:05] lol
