Working tree for the community fork of Songbird, Nightingale. If building, use the sb-trunk-oldxul (development) branch, with the tag 1.12.1 tag for stable, for now. The master-xul-9.0.1 branch is the current progress in building Nightingale with XULRunner 9 and builds, but is broken. All help in terms of patches and pull requests is welcome.

Test and make Nightingale works on SteamOS #235

Open AntoineTurmel opened 10 years ago

AntoineTurmel commented 10 years ago

First SteamOS version is released based on Debian 7 "Wheezy" x64 with EFI on. I'm setting up a VM to try it and see if Nightingale runs fine :)

So obviously, it runs but it failed to play mp3/flac: steamos_ng1 steamos_ng2

I suspect GStreamer configuration here. By default SteamOS doesn't include Debian repos in source.list. I will do further investigation tomorrow ;)

For mp3 you need the badugly gstreamer plugins.

Didn't we find it costs to add Ngale to their store?

freaktechnik commented 10 years ago

Yes, in order to participate in greenlight you need to pay 100$. However it's still nice to have it working on steam os, since it'll probably spread like a virus.

johnmurrayvi commented 10 years ago

I'd be willing to pitch in some $ to add it to the store... Maybe this could be a bountysource thing. When it gets to $100, someone can claim it and pay. Probably wouldn't take long to get to $100 if there's a blog post/social media posts.

Edit: At some point in the next couple weeks I may be re-purposing my old desktop into a diy SteamBox, so I may be able to do some testing for this bug when I get everything set up.

FWIW, the $100 fee to allow submitting products to Greenlight is donated: "To get started, you'll need to pay a one-time submission fee to grant your Steam account access to post and update games or software within Greenlight. All proceeds from this fee (minus taxes) will be donated directly to Child's Play, a charity dedicated to improving the lives of children in over 70 hospitals worldwide."

Although, that's directly through Steam. For SteamOS, I would think it should be free (provided the user has to do some work). If I understand correctly, the user would just need to enable the desktop view, then add the ppa / install a deb?

Also, since they don't include the debian repos, we could do a packaged gstreamer build for it
