Description:
Entertainer aims to be a simple and easy-to-use media center
solution for Gnome and XFce desktop environments. It is written
completely in Python using object-oriented programming paradigm.
Entertainer uses GStreamer multimedia framework for multimedia
playback. User Interface is implemented with Clutter UI-library,
which allows sleek OpenGL animated user interfaces. Entertainer
also uses other great projects like SQLite, pyIMDBb and
iNotify.
The ultimate goal of the project is to create the best media
center solution available for any platform. This means that
Entertainer should be the best looking, most easy to use and most
feature filled media center solution available. Not the easiest
goal to achieve. It's a long way, but we have a good start
here!
Movies and TV-series
You can watch movies and TV-Series from your harddrive.
Entertainer automatically searches and downloads metadata like
cover art from the Internet.
Music library
Let's play music! Entertainer allows you play your favourite
tracks easily. Navigate music by artst, album, genre or make your
own playlists. Entertainer also automatically downloads album art
and lyrics of the tracks.
Photographs
Watch your family photographs from the big screen. Entertainer
includes a photoraph library, which allows you easily find your
best shots.
RSS-reader
Entertainer includes a simple RSS-reader which allows you to
read feeds right from your couch. In Entertainer RSS is called
Headlines since it's easier to understand for people who are not
IT oriented.
Themes
Entertainer supports themeing! Make your media center look just
like you. Creating themes is relatively easy.
Requirements:
Install the following dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python-notify python-feedparser
python-pyvorbis python-pyogg python-eyed3 python-pysqlite2
python-gtk2 python-glade2 python-clutter python-pyvorbis
python-imaging python-pyinotify python-imdbpy python-cairo-dev
gtk-doc-tools
Installation of Clutter 0.5.0
Add the following to your sources.list
deb http://debian.o-hand.com gutsy/
then
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install
libclutter-0.5-0
Tested under Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon)
Installation:
Step 1 - Download source code
Source code is hosted at google code SVN repository. Download
the latest source code from our repository with this command:
svn checkout
http://entertainer-media-center.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
entertainer
Step 2 - Setup Entertainer
Under entertainer folder you can find cfg folder which is the
configuration folder of the Entertainer. Copy cfg under your home
and rename it to .entertainer (notice that dot).
You can do this from the command line with:
cp cfg ~/.entertainer -R
Step 3 - Set your media folders
Navigate to src folder and execute
entertainer-content-management.py script. Use GUI-tool to add
media. If you have movie files they should be named by movie name.
For example. "The Matrix.avi". TV-episodes should be named for
example "tv-series-2-14-Prison Break.avi", where 2 is season and
14 is number of episode.
Step 4 - Execute backend
Just run
./entertainer-backend.py
script from src folder.
Step 5 - Execute frontend
Just run
./entertainer-frontend.py
script from src folder.
That's it. Now you should see Entertainer GUI and be able to
use it. It still has many bugs so don't be supprised if it's
sometimes slow or if it crashes.
