phpSensei Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Me and my friend who's a designer have been working on this project for quite some time, its the opposite of Spotify, its for Movies... Languages used: C++ and Python Only the GUI has been developped, but it still needs some polishing. The functionality I am still working on. This will be using p2p technology for better results/ I just need to find a good codec for the video files Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/242901-sneek-peek-of-the-opposite-of-spotify/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjakreborn Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 You built this? If you did....I am impressed. Nice work. I will buy a copy of that, if you decide to sell it. Looks really good, nice design sense.

gizmola Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 There is no better codec than H.264 right now for most web applications. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/242901-sneek-peek-of-the-opposite-of-spotify/#findComment-1247743 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpSensei Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 @Businessman, Yes, I will share with you the development source code so far if you are interessted to take a peek at it. @Gizmola, Thats the direction people are recommending me to go towards, but I'll see where trial and error gets me. Any advice you guys have to offer please let me know Thank you Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/242901-sneek-peek-of-the-opposite-of-spotify/#findComment-1247757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjakreborn Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I didn't necessarily mean source code (unless it's open source). I just want to know where to download it. App is pretty. Also, how much is the premium version going to cost?

phpSensei Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Oh, you will be able to download it for PC early september of this year. I am developping it for the Iphone also, I just need their SDK license, I heard you had to pay for it or something.

Philip Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I do like the design. The only comment I have is the File / Edit / Controls.. buttons. They are pretty hard to read, perhaps a slight glow behind them over hover would help?

ignace Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I like Spotify. I can't wait for this to be released! Will I also get 20 hours of free video then? Is there also a HTTP/FTP back-up for those who don't have a near P2P network? Will it be able to work with mirrors (P2P+HTTP+..)?

Ninjakreborn Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Iphone is 75.00 (I think if I recall correctly) and Android is 25. Good job on that system.

The buffering bar and everything else works fine, I think i will use the H.264 codec and test out a video on this tonight.

phpSensei Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 I implemented the Custom Gui using Qt::TranslucentBackground Flags by using setAttribute then sliced the design in photoshop, then I imported all of it into resources (images.qrc), and using widget containers I got the custom skin working. I got some PM's for people, so thats how its done.. However I painted most of the custom widgets, I tried using HighQualityAliasiang but theres a problem with OpenGL with QT 4.0 on my system. If anyone knows how i can implement that without having to use the system's default render engine, please let me know Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/242901-sneek-peek-of-the-opposite-of-spotify/#findComment-1248305 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get as much video time you want <3 I guess we'll just have to see, honestly it would be a little nice to get some help from other devs. I am staying up all night typing code, and researching at the same time. I think i am going to take a little vacation before going head first into the functionality and such.

ignace Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I know C++ but not yet Python. I also guess my C++ will be quite rusty since it's been 5+ years since I last wrote it Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/242901-sneek-peek-of-the-opposite-of-spotify/#findComment-1248343 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpSensei Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Ignace, the hardest concept for me to learn was Class inheritance, until i actually sat down did some examples, but since you already have worked with c++, PYthon will be a piece of cake. Python i like alot because indenting is a requirement, thatshow nesting works with py. Its cleaner, fast, and works well with ctypes.

Ninjakreborn Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 @KingPhilip - The android SDK is free, but to load something into the market you have to pay their 25.00 developer fee to get access to the market. So in essence you need the 25.00 anyway. Unless your throwing it on some random website and not in the market.

Ninjakreborn Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 It's not doing me any good yet though. I was doing pretty good with C++, then realize I need to do Java to get any really good apps developed. Then I realized the process for loading them up was a pain. So I got pissed off a took a break from android development. Just messing around with desktop now.
