Bloglines 770 v0.7

Posted in nokia770, programming, maemo, bloglines at 5:04 pm by moimart

This is the first release of Bloglines 770 with all its old features. Now you can search, zoom, set fullscreen and it also supports proxy configurations.

Bloglines 770 still crashes with some specific RSS feeds. if anybody could send me some RSS in order to debug, it would be great. The Bloglines’ RSS feeds are stored in /home/user/.bloglines

Some features such as “keep new” or syncing by folder instead of syncing by workload will be implemented shortly.

Bloglines v0.6

Posted in nokia770, programming, maemo, bloglines at 12:23 am by moimart

Today was a boring day in the hotel. Anyway, I’ve been developing bloglines 770 so I can use while walking around during this weekend. It now supports images (while connected), libbloglines has been ported to glib, gtkhtml, autotools, etc… but some features are not yet available (searching, imaging caching,flite speeching). It crashes with some feeds, but it’s beta (or even alpha) software over beta platform so I think it’s normal :)

Update:

New release that fixes many memory leaks and closing main window.

Source code: bloglines-0.6.tar.bz2

Maemo 2.0

Posted in nokia770, programming, maemo, bloglines, flite at 4:21 am by moimart

Today, I’ve almost finished the port of flite with gstreamer for maemo 2.0. The gstreamer plugin has been ported to 0.10 without problems. As soon as I can (really, this week I’ll be very busy) I’ll release debs for flite and bloglines 770 with gtkhtml engine plus flite support.

Great work maemo team!

New Interface for Flite for Maemo

Posted in nokia770, programming, maemo, flite at 8:39 pm by moimart

I’ve added new features to Flite for Maemo. You can now set the pitch and the speed from your application. Also you can set the voice but this is not yet implemented You can still use the old plain interface but It’s actually deprecated. Now, there is a scheduler that chooses the next request to be readed according to specific factors such as length, timestamp, and user-set priority. It needs improvement really.

.patch file .deb package

For example, a dbus(osso way) call would be:

ret = osso_rpc_run(
gui->osso_context,
“com.nokia.flite”,
“/com/nokia/flite”,
“com.nokia.flite”,
“flite_tts”,
&retval,
DBUS_TYPE_UINT32,
getpid(),
DBUS_TYPE_STRING,
“Say something”,
DBUS_TYPE_UINT32,
20,
DBUS_TYPE_DOUBLE,
speed,
DBUS_TYPE_DOUBLE,
pitch,
DBUS_TYPE_STRING,
g_strdup(”cmu_us_kal”),
DBUS_TYPE_INVALID
);

• The first value DBUS_TYPE_UINT32 is an id for the order, in the example is the pid of calling process.
• The second value DBUS_TYPE_STRING is the string to be readed.
• The third value DBUS_TYPE_UINT32 is the priority. From 0 to 20. The higher value, the less priority.
• The fourth value DBUS_TYPE_DOUBLE is speed of speeching. From 0.1 to 3.
• The fifth value DBUS_TYPE_DOUBLE is to adjust pitch of voice. From -2 to 8.
• And the sixth value DBUS_TYPE_STRING is name of the voice, but it’s not yet implemented.

You can try out the old an new interface with the new Test App included in the package.
