Sophie relies on FFI for Quicktime media, so much of the media playback functionality is missing under Linux. A very nice community project would be adding gstreamer-based Linux media playback.

• Bert -

I'll note that the Sophie movie player attempts to resolve which technology to use when the video/audio is set up. The first choice is Quicktime, the second is the older squeak MPEG plugin. For audio other choices besides Quicktime, Sophie may involve the SampledSoundAudio support (WAV or AIFF)

The Sophie team spent numerous days trying to setup a gstreamer environment but we were defeated by the confused state of the gstreamer offering. I don't recall we were even able to compile and link C code examples, so much for easy to use offerings.

However other Linux developers are welcome to try.

For clues please see the SophieMPEGAudio, SophieMPEGMovie, or SophieSampledSoundAudio for subclassing suggestions

Thanks for the answer. I couldn't load version 37 of the remeo plugin into my image (an almost - except for vmmaker - unmodified dev-image version 07.09.01). I got a index out of bound error. I used version 36 instead which loaded without errors.

Hi!

Is it possible to get the source code for the sophie plugins? I would like to compile them for my 64bit Linux system.

Thanks

Hi, "Martin Kuball" martinkuball@web.de wrote in message news:200710012140.40061.martinkuball@web.de...

What is the difference between the Freetype plugin on impara and the Freetype Plus on squeak source? Are they interchangeable?

FreeType Plus is dependent upon a (compiled) FT2Plugin being present. FreeType Plus does NOT include the source for the FT2Plugin. Rather, it uses the same compiled FT2Plugin 's that are distributed with Sophie, the source for which is on impara. Hope that clarifies things, Cheers, Andy
