(Just a copy of the message I sent to Vorbis, better to send it here.) Hello, I'm just letting everyone know that I've begun the preliminary part of putting together a working comment system. I have a few idea's on how to implement this system. 1. What I would like to do is grab the General and Input SDK's for Winamp first. Then I would like to add to our existing Winamp plug-in the ability to simply add comments via the built in ID tag editor. This could later be expanded to other players who already support .ogg nativly , such as Sonique , to have them add the code. (I should just wait for Winamp 3) 2. Another thing I was thinking of was modifying the already existing comment editor to be worked with a gui. Now, there is no way in Hell I can even attempt to make a gui, so someone to make the UI would be great. Also , if this feature is ever completed , is to distribute the code to CDex people so they can integrate it into their program. What I'm emphasizing is using the already existing standard of ID tags in compressed music. This would make commenting availible through a wide range of platforms and players. I've been learning C++ (gasp!) since september. Right now, we are doing exercises involving using others functions to include into are own program. I'd love to code everything myself , unfortunetly I can not. C and C++ aren't to diffrent, just a matter of syntax. However most of the stuff I am dealing with is advanced in C, such as structs and #defines. On top of that , I am not familar with the ins and outs of M$ Visual C++. If someone has MSVC++ experience and/or Good C Knowledge, I would them , time permitting , to possible work together on this over IRC. I guess it would proable teaching , acualy it is teaching. Also, Anyone know of any good C Tutorials. Although codecs aren't very large to work on, I'm just feeling overwhelmed by HWND classes ect ect. Any Help , or tutoring would be greatly apriciated. So just e-mail me, or over on IRC on #vorbis (I'm cardboard) just Private Message me or something. Thanks to everyone on their helping me get CVS working and answering my constant barrage of newbie spam. Thanks for reading, ***** Anthony J.

Unless someone knows of a good cross-platform gui package I don't see how we can make one program that works on Windows (native gui), Linux (GTK? QT?), BeOS (native) etc. So there'd have to be either a whole bunch of programs, or we'd need to create an abstraction layer in between the app and the GUI part.> What I'm emphasizing is using the already existing standard of ID tags in > compressed music.

Anyone know where the vcomment.html document is? -----Original Message----- From: Jack Moffitt [mailto:jack@icecast.org] Sent: Monday, January 22, 2001 2:16 AM To: vorbis-dev@xiph.org Subject: Re: [vorbis-dev] Comments ect> I foresee a problem here, with the UI, namely that it won't be portable. > Unless someone knows of a good cross-platform gui package I don't see > how we can make one program that works on Windows (native gui), Linux > (GTK?

I believe mike did those changes already. As for cross platform GUI stuff, I'm a fan of GTK, which is maturing quite nicely for win32. But, a lot of times, win32 users use applications differently that people do in Linux. That's why there's a win32-tools module, with win32 specific tools in there. Considering that marketshare that win32 has, and the trivial amount of code involved, there should probably be a win32 only comment gui. Win32 API isn't that hard, (look at the oggdrop source), and any decent book will get you going fairly quickly.> > What I'm emphasizing is using the already existing standard of ID tagsin> > compressed music.

(I think, Monty/Jack?)Yes, several standard tags are defined in vcomment.html. If you have any additional suggestoins, post them :) jack. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-dev-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

there is a win/linux library called WxGTK or something like this -- I've never used it but I recall seeing bindings for it in the python library OD --- David Burnett <vargol@ntlworld.com> wrote:> >Unless someone knows of a good cross-platform gui > package I don't see > >how we can make one program that works on Windows > (native gui), Linux > >(GTK?
