Very cool. In some respects, kinda like Netjuke, but with more media
types supported (including video, which I don't think Netjuke does at
all) but also with a lot more flexibility.
When are you thinking of making the code available?

Media support comes from the fact that it's only a frontend. It'll check
the file type by using command "file" (yes, this does incredible
quantities, if you have FLACs or MODs available...),

I'll need to do some cleanup, create db-dumbs (it uses MySQL for file
listing, playlist and bunch of other stuff) and collect the pieces, but
some day pretty nearly.
And yeah, I'll need to finish rendering the background-image for X :p.

Very cool. I'm hoping I'll have the time to play around with it - when
you do post it, can you let me know where?

I know the feeling; I'd probably have a render going right now if I
wasn't trying to crack a PDF we created at work a few years ago - nobody
has the source files any more and of course it's got an owner password on
it. Someone needs to parallelize pdfcrack. ;-)

Damn, it seems that the texts on the image will overlap. Well, I can
always tweak it also afterwards.

Unencrypted? Run through pdf2ps and then ps2pdf. Quick, simple and
effective ;).

32-bit system or 64? Really cool image.

I'll still need to dump the databases and truncate the dumps. Maybe
tomorrow, I'll have to sleep before going to work tomorrow.

64-bit, running Gentoo Linux (surprisingly).

The easiest and quickest ways are often out of mind - partly luckily.

It's here:
http://www.zbxt.net/~aero/xplayer.tar.bz2
Yes, it's hasn't got even version number, so it's definedly something
like beta ;). It works, but still has a lot to do (tracefiles (which is
ment to keep the file-db up to date) gives continous errors, there's a
lot to implement, init-scripts are really bulk, skipping a track won't
work is something else than mplayer is playing it etc etc etc).

Update on the image also.

OK - probably won't have time to look much until the weekend anyways. :-)

Why surprisingly? ;-)

That's true enough. Now I just need to convert from PDF to Framemaker
and we've got the original files to work with again. :-)

Snagged it. Like I said, probably won't have time until the weekend to
do much with it.

OK - good to know. I had figured alpha-to-beta quality probably at this
stage, given that you were still doing coding.

BTW, there's no installer nor install instructions, but luckily the
directory structure of the package is pretty simple ;). Diff files
before overwriting your old ones (ie. apaches httpd.conf), if you're
running anything else on that machine.
