Hello!
We would like to offer Emms, the Emacs Multimedia System, to be
included into the GNU system.
* General Information
** Do you agree to follow GNU policies?
Yes. (Surprising, isn't it?)
** Package name and version:
Emms, latest version being 1.3
(The name is case-insensitive; all of EMMS, Emms and emms have
been used in the past, and have different followers)
** Author Full Name <Email>:
Since the question is singular, I'll put only the principal author
there. A lot of code has been contributed by other people (see the
AUTHORS file).
Jorgen Schäfer <address@hidden>
** URL to home page (if any):
http://www.gnu.org/software/emms/
** URL to sources (if any):
Accessible via CVS from savannah:
export CVS_RSH="ssh"
cvs -z3 -d:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/emms co emms
The latest release should be available on the webpage, but has
been uploaded only recently. Luckily, you also have another
option:
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/emms/emms_1.3.tar.gz
(or any other Debian mirror)
Of course, apt-get install emms works as well, if you have Debian.
** Brief description of the package:
EMMS is the Emacs Multi-Media System. It tries to be a clean and
small application to play multimedia files from Emacs using
external players.
* Code
** Dependencies:
GNU Emacs, and some kind of media player. By default, mpg321,
ogg123 and mplayer are supported
** Configuration & compilation:
This is an Emacs package. Put it in your `load-path', and read the
README for a sample configuration.
The Makefile install rule for site-wide installs has not been
tested except for the Debian package. A working "make install" and
"make uninstall" is intended to be included for the next release,
but is not seen as a high priority.
** Documentation:
Exists, written in Texinfo. There's of course the documentation
within Emacs as well.
* Licensing:
GPL.
We tried to get copyright assignments in, but that wasn't accepted
as the project isn't officially GNU yet (something we try to fix
now).
* Similar projects:
>From the README:
| Many of it's ideas are derived from MpthreePlayer
| (http://www.nongnu.org/mp3player), but it tries to be more
| general and more clean.
The motivation was to have a sensible interface to audio players,
and it turned out to be able to play movies, too.
The main difference to mp3player is that it has a much cleaner
design. It is, so to say, a continuation (though a rewrite from
scratch) of mp3player, not in competition to it.
* Any other information, comments, or questions:
Uhm.
(require 'praise-gnu)
(require 'praise-emacs)
Thanks!
