totem movie player enhancement

[manojkp]

hai
My name is manoj,an Information Technology student.
As my academic mini project,my group has selected Totem Movie Player for modifications.
We also dowloaded the Source code of Totem Movie Player 2.24.0
we are not able to find out where to make the necessary changes,in the source code.
We,are at present planning to add

• a library for storing the once played files
• video cutter to cut and save video from a specified starting location to ending location
• graphical buttons to do various operations which already exist but doesnot have shortcut on the graphical interface.

  we are  group of interested people to do the work.
  so please replay
Regards
Manoj

Hi Manoj,

You already got many replies on both mailing list where you posted this
message.  Posting it repeatedly will not help your message to go
through.

We all commented on how some ideas could be implemented, and how some
ideas would probably never be merged into Totem as they seem out of
scope for the project.  Please take some time to consider the comments.

hi,

      finally  we decided  our project as

•      add a library to totem to keep  tracks once played(there is no such an option in it )
•      add some buttons for skip forward,skipbackward,fullscreen,stop &  screenshot.

   so for creating the interface  for library is there  any gtkdevelopment tool like qtdevelopment tool
  give me the details regarding that.

This book is quite good:
http://www.amazon.com/Foundations-Development-Experts-Voice-Source/dp/1590597931

There is also a much older book called "The Official GNOME Developers Guide":
http://www.google.com/search?q=The+Official+Gnome+2+Developer%27s+Guide+pdf&btnG=Search&hl=en&sa=2
(note that stuff like GnomeVFS has been deprecated and today you should not use it, instead use GVFS/GIO for accessing files)

But don't try to read these books upfront, you'll just get lost in the massive
amount of things to learn and then get bored. So I suggest you start hacking on
you totem plugin right away (after browsing around in the books so you know what
kind of topics they have) and then you run into some problem look for the answer
in these tooks (or ask here).

In general you should probably look into anjuta/geany, devhelp, autotools, gcc, valgrind, gdb.
Or maybe you want a more high level language like Python? And you can also check out a
special language called Vala, it's completely awesome (much better than C for GUI stuff)
but the tool support is not so good yet (no good IDE etc).
