Re: [Eclass-users] media Bug

[Kevin O. <ke...@tu...>]

Hi BJ,

Am currently working on fixing some more developer-related issues with=20=

EClass. Over the past 8-12 months, EClass has started incorporating=20
more and more functionality, some from 3rd parties, and I need to make=20=

this a bit easier to manage so that Linux users particularly can build=20=

EClass without too much trouble. It will also make it easier for me to=20=

manage, and help me to put Mac support back on the map again. ;-) This=20=

will take a couple days, probably finishing around Wednesday-Thursday.=20=

At that point, I will come back to these issues. I plan on having a new=20=

release ready for Friday. I want to get this release solid so that I=20
can start promoting it, and it's important that Linux has some basic=20
support at least, because it's likely that any volunteers to help will=20=

come from that platform.

And, BTW, nothing is too picky. It is always just the tradeoff between=20=

how much work it will be to fix and how serious the problem is.=20
Particularly if I know what the problem is and the fix is relatively=20
quick, I can (and will) take care of it right away. =46rom your issues=20=

below, the only one that may need some work to fix is the Real Media=20
bug. I have a feeling it is related to the "media controller" property=20=

that RM has. These need to be the same between video and audio so that=20=

they are "synched", but when there is a separate audio file, there=20
needs to be a "separate" audio controller. So that means having EClass=20=

determine if the audio belongs to a video, or is separate.

Anyways, I should have everything ready in the next few days. Thanks=20
again for all your help! =3D)

Thanks,

Kevin
