Bump vala requirement

2011-02-16 Thread Jens Georg
Hi, rygel needs valac 0.11.6 since it fixes a codegen bug which leads to a crash in one of our plugins. Note that this release deprecates the string.to_foo() methods thus will break all projects building with --fatal-warnings. ___ desktop-devel-list

Media Sharing Feature extension proposal: Play To

Hi, What I would like to propose is something in the lines of less open DLNA sharing. This is a feature on top of Rygel. It would be similar to the Play to feature of Windows 7, where you can right-click on a file and send it to UPnP-capable media renderer. (Thinking of a nautilus send-to plugin

Hi, Since the last gupnp-* unstable releases, gupnp-vala is more or less obsolete since all of them generate the vala bindings themselves now from gobject-introspection. Looking at the modulesets, Rygel is the only project that depends on gupnp-vala and I've already removed that dependency. Is
