[Pyobjc-dev] QuickTimeViewer demo using PyObjC!

[Dinu G. <gh...@da...>]

Ok, instead of fiddling further with services I wrote a simple demo
that fetches and displays QuickTime movies from the web, with some
predefined URLs pointing to pixar.com:

   http://python.net/~gherman/tmp/QuickTimeViewer.tgz

Apart from the obvious functionality, there is an interaction with
an NSPopupButton and there are some tooltips for the bottom widgets.
The movie view even resizes nicely during playing the movie (but
strangely not before initialising it with a movie...)! For some rea-
son the Show button needs to be pressed twice at the beginning...

I wrote the same demo much earlier using Jython, but never quite
managed to use IB in the same context. Using PyObjC makes live so
much easier! :-)

Now if I only could get access to the real QuickTime movie content
using PyObjC...! That would allow for keeping aspect ratio and do-
ing all sorts of other nifty things...

Enjoy,

Dinu
