Thanks a bunch for taking time and prob. expensive bandwith for making a XBMC.sfs.

That said i can not make it play video files. i have now tested it on my main saluki machine a HP HDX9050 with the ati drivers installed. the program runs like a charm and music / pictures work. only it will not play video files. I tested Saluki and XBMC on my gaming machine a asus g73 and wow saluki was just wow. but there on a i7 the xbmc just stutterd and didnt work properly.

and for last the default image viewer ristretto does not work on any machine i have tested saluki on :)

thanks alot for Saluki i like where this is going
I see the problem with video playback. I'll try to fix it and upload again later.

That's nice.

One thing I would do is export a flag from pup_event_frontend_d to /tmp ( where you have added the notify line - BTW pup_event_frontend_d.orig in included in 011 ;) ), and have the xfce4_desktop_icons loop run only if this flag is present.
No need to run probdisk and probpart all the time since pup_event_frontend_d is doing it already.
Also add a flag generated by xfce4_desktop_icons itself for its first run after boot.

Ideally most of the needed files should be generated by pup_event_frontend_d directly but that's probably too many changes in it.
Anyway, I'll probably try a version 0.5 later today if you (or anybody else) does not by then.

With this one I had the problem of no sound but installed it to a new save then installed the nvidia drivers and all was good, though it won't run the plugins, just pops up an error script failed, the previous version the plugin ran but wouldn't play the video, the gmail plugin worked fine,
the plugin I ran was for Australian ABC TV iview, I know it works as I have it on my Xbox XBMC, it also works with Boxee, XBMC is full of bugs, such as the weather not working with weather.com, the log shows " ERROR: WEATHER: Unable to get data: Invalid License Key",
don't worry I know the joy of trying to get XBMC to play the game, I've been using it for the past six years on my Xbox and it still gives me grief. :?

Oh, the video and sound works fine now for local content.

Google saved me from having no clue on what XBMC is all about.
http://xbmc.org/about/
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Looks promising, however it breaks the mouse pointer (Logitech wireless mouse) so I can't run it properly.

Saluki 011 is working great on my desktop computer described below.

Thanks,

I'm actually merging the code right into pup_event_frontdend_d.

Ah, good. Then I will not upload v0.5.

One thing that may need a second look is the handling of the optical disks. Mounting unmounting and ejecting.

Also I believe that in xcfe_drive_all

Code: Select all

    xcloseleft=$(($xleft + 58)) 
    xcloseright=$(($xleft + 73))
is more accurate than the original +60, + 75

XBMC, it seems to have a problem with python, as no plugin scripts will run, I get this in the log with the gmail plugin, this did work in the previous xbmc sfs.

Nice desktop drive icon implementation.
However, on optical media the unmount box is ejecting the disk but the icon stays on the Desktop. Maybe the eject_cd function of drive_all should also remove the /root/.pup_event/drive_${DRV_NAME} directory since the disk is ejected instead of unmounted (as in traditional puppy).
