Hi Guillaume,
Yes! I finally got it to work ! But I had to make some more changes to the
codebase to get past certain stages.
I found how to disable some plugins, and in the end (for the time being) I
disabled these:
disabled_plugins = ['elisa-plugin-ipod', 'elisa-plugin-flickr',
'elisa-plugin-lirc', 'elisa-plugin-hal', 'elisa-plugin-avahi']
I noticed the on RHEL the avahi python bindings are inside the package
avahi-tools, but installing it would still make the plugin fail. More
about that later.
After doing that I got the following fatal error:
------

------
If fixed this by changing elisa/plugins/gstreamer/thumbnail.py on line 51
and 53 into:
------
__gproperties__ = {
'width': (gobject.TYPE_UINT, 'width',
'Snapshot width', 16, (2**16) - 1, THUMBNAIL_SIZE,
gobject.PARAM_READWRITE),
'height': (gobject.TYPE_UINT, 'height',
'Snapshot height', 16, (2**16) - 1, THUMBNAIL_SIZE,
gobject.PARAM_READWRITE),
}
------
(2**31) - 1 works too, but for some reason (2**32) - 1 triggers python.
After that I got the following problem:
------

------
Which is caused by not having dbus, it seems dbus is mandatory by the
current implementation. However, I catched the exception and just
returned, which seems sufficient to get Elisa running.
In file elisa/plugins/database/dbus_browser.py on line 185 I added:
------
def __init__(self, browser, *args, **kw):
+ try:
dbus.service.Object.__init__(self, *args, **kw)
+ except:
+ return
self.impl = BrowserImpl(browser)
------
Now I have a working interface, but not everything is properly working
yet. I will go and add the missing requirements for some of the plugins.
Can you make the change to elisa/plugins/gstreamer/thumbnail.py ?
For the dbus problems, how would you proceed ? Make dbus optional instead
of mandatory, or rather make dbus work with an older release (1.2).
I'd prefer the second, but I can understand if there is no interest in
having the complexity.
Thanks,
