Herostratus’ legacy

words from a lazy coder

Grilo meets Vala

Last week, after the internal presentation of Grilo, I got pretty excited about the project: basically, using Grilo I could make epris consume feeds from Jamendo.I started to generate the bindings for Vala. I never thought it could be that hard: the heavy use of atypical callbacks in Grilo made me find a bug in the code writer of Vala. And eventually I came with a small patch, which I’d just pushed.

Those problems brought into the discussion to use GAsyncResult within Grilo instead of the custom callbacks mechanism. We’ll see where we can go.

Finally I got my small test snippet. Cute, isn’t it?

Today also pushed another patches I’d in my Vala queue. The interesting part is, after talking with Zeeshan, I understood that the gstreamer vapi must be generated with the latest release of GStreamer. Something logical but I never stopped to think about it.
