I run Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome.
When last I wrote to this list it was to find pointers to GUI
development tools so I could take a program written in Python that plays
audio files with features suitable for use in transcribing and add the
ability to look at video files with the same features. (The principle
feature is to automatically backspace a given amount when pausing.) Most
of my work is audio only, but occasionally I get a video recording to
transcribe. For those recordings I run avconv and extract an mp3 file
from the video file. But sometimes there's useful information in the
video. In those cases I also run Totem Movie Player.
As I was working along, looking for the right GUI environment to use, I
realized that Totem Movie Player already does what I want, with the
exception of auto backspace. It already responds to my foot pedal for
play/pause. It also has a backspace concept built in, but the values are
way too long to be useful for transcription (15 seconds for the left
arrow button, and 5 seconds for shift left arrow -- I need no more than
2 seconds). I'm aware that plugins can be written for Movie Player, and
I have the documentation:
https://developer.gnome.org/totem/3.0/
and
http://asanka-abeyweera.blogspot.com/2012/03/writing-plugins-for-totem-movie-player.html
What I don't know is how to change the pause event so that I can add an
automatic backspace of a different amount from the defaults.
The other thought I had was to rewrite my foot pedal program so that
instead of sending <ctrl><space> I'd have it send something not used by
Movie Player, and write the plugin to handle that event.
In any case, what I need are some examples of plugins that handle events
in Movie Player. Has anyone written a plugin for Totem Movie Player? Or,
does anyone have any recommendations for samples of event handling for a
Movie Player plugin?
Thanks.
