Here are the tasks for the Workstation agent. Pick one, and put your signature next to it. Strike it off the list when done.

LinuxMCE Specific Tasks

  • Create the Device Templates for the Linux, Windows, and Mac workstations. --Tschak909 01:55, 9 April 2011 (CEST)
  • Finish the Workstation Media Player --Tschak909 01:55, 9 April 2011 (CEST)

Windows Specific Tasks

  • Write a script or application that calls MessageSend with MH Play Media, and a path to the media. This path would look like the path from a Linux machine, as the Media Player will translate this path internally.
  • Make a file association that calls this script for media files that VLC can play (this needs to be done for ALL the file types that VLC can play)

Linux Specific Tasks

  • Write a script or application that calls MessageSend with MH Play Media, and a path to the media.
  • Make a file association that calls this script for media files that VLC can play, for GNOME and KDE (xdg? freedesktop? is there a standard way to do this? find out.)

Installation Package Tasks

It is IMPERATIVE that there is only a single installation package, with everything needed for the workstation agent to work. No Buts.

These tasks need to be done for (mark responsibility for the platforms below):

  • Windows (somebody take responsibility)
  • Linux (somebody take responsibility)
  • Package VideoLan Client from source and fold into the Installation package.
  • Package The Orbiter executable from TSCHAK and fold in.
  • Package the App server executable
  • Package the Workstation Agent Executable
  • Package the MessageSend executable
  • Make a script that creates shares to the public shares at installation.

Things to still deal with

  • Making code to spawn the web browser in response to a URL from LinuxMCE to Workstation.
  • Making code to spawn the web browser in response to a URL from Workstation to LinuxMCE.
  • Handling file shares to user shares dynamically in response to a PIN # being entered.
