In my last post<\/a> I mentioned I was working on a Totem plugin based on Grilo<\/strong>, last week I put some more effort on that and I got a beta version<\/em>, you can check out some pics below:<\/p>\n

I have also recorded an ogv<\/em> video showing the plugin at work <\/strong> in more detail, you can check it out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also, I uploaded the code to gitorious<\/strong><\/a> if you feel curious about it. If you want to build the plugin from the sources check the HACKING<\/em> file on the repository. Also, I suggest you build Grilo<\/strong> from the sources as well or wait for the release 0.1.3<\/strong> which should be coming out later today.<\/p>\n

Now to the more interesting part, the good thing about Grilo<\/strong> is not just the plugins, it is the fact that you can interact with them with a common API<\/strong>. As a matter of a fact, I could now add more plugins to Grilo<\/strong> and those would show up in Totem<\/strong> without having to code anything extra, not a single line on Totem<\/strong> or its Grilo<\/strong> plugin, it would just work: you would be able to browse the new plugins if they are browseable in the Browse<\/em> view and\/or you would be able to search them if they are searchable in the Search<\/em> view, etc.<\/p>\n

The plugin is not really finished, it can still use some extra work, particularly in these areas:<\/p>\n
