eMotion version II: My Rainbow Girl
The current version of eMotion, My Rainbow Girl, is much further along than the previous version. Less bugs, more features, it's all good. For those of you who don't know, eMotion is an MPlayer frontend made in Qt, so you can use it as your media player on most modern Linux installations. So, maybe you want to know a bit more. That's what these other sections are for. Yes, there is an FAQ. Now, here's the big secret. Frequently 'Asked' Questions is a big lie. You see, nobody actually asks us these things, we just make them up. At some point, this section may deserve its title, as we'll start getting actual questions and needing to answer them. Until then, we merely want to try and preempt some questions we know will arise. So, if you have questions, first check the FAQ. And, if those questions are about what changed between Save Me a Kiss and My Rainbow Girl, check the features section. If you were wondering where to download this, well, go to the downloads page. Yes, that's right, it's blatant. Anyway, the downloads page should currently have the eMotion version II sources in tar.gz and tar.bz2 formats. Also, the icon themes are available for download. The available themes are (currently): The Blues (default), Simple, Simple--, Simple++, Bubbly, and Blueby. What is this strange 'M' Player that eMotion is supposedly a front-end for? Well, MPlayer is the marvelous, magical, metaphysical media master which serves the Linux community. That's right, MPlayer is like GOD among media players. However, as with many gods, you don't see it very much. MPlayer is usually best as a command-line utility. The GUI is, by my rating, sub-par. That's why we made eMotion. Without MPlayer granting it divine powers, eMotion would merely pop-up a dialog with silly icons which did nothing. MPlayer is the source of all our power. Go to the MPlayer. Serve the MPlayer. All for the MPlayer. (Note: We are not a cult) Yes, we have plenty of documentation. Documentation is a broad term, and we use it in a broad sense. This section includes anything which documents eMotion. That means it has our plans for the future, the current features, any howtos or guidebooks, and all information for development. There is now even an eMotion Handbook and a guide on making icon themes Developers, Developers, Developers, Developers
So, who made this eMotion thingy? Mike Swieton: Did everything. If you want to help some, try sending us an email, once we pick an address to get stuff sent to. Likewise, complaints and requests will likely be sent that way as well. (Please tag any complaints or requests with either 'complaint' or 'request' in the header so we can easily ignore them) |
