   The TreeLine tool I use has a new version that requires Python3 > 3.2. I
have both -2.7.5 and -3.3.3 installed. But, when I invoke 'python
install.py' the error message displays that python3 is required. How do I
specify that there is an appropriate version installed?

When you have both python 2 and python 3 installed, python 3 is installed
as python3, so you would say:

python3 install.py

John,

   Thank you. I knew it was simple.

Subject: [portland] Totem Movie Player Plugins
Message-ID: <5321CE70.1040308@dicksteffens.com>

I run Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome.

When last I wrote to this list it was to find pointers to GUI 
development tools so I could take a program written in Python that plays 
audio files with features suitable for use in transcribing and add the 
ability to look at video files with the same features. (The principle 
feature is to automatically backspace a given amount when pausing.) Most 
of my work is audio only, but occasionally I get a video recording to 
transcribe. For those recordings I run avconv and extract an mp3 file 
from the video file. But sometimes there's useful information in the 
video. In those cases I also run Totem Movie Player.

As I was working along, looking for the right GUI environment to use, I 
realized that Totem Movie Player already does what I want, with the 
exception of auto backspace. It already responds to my foot pedal for 
play/pause. It also has a backspace concept built in, but the values are 
way too long to be useful for transcription (15 seconds for the left 
arrow button, and 5 seconds for shift left arrow -- I need no more than 
2 seconds). I'm aware that plugins can be written for Movie Player, and 
I have the documentation:

https://developer.gnome.org/totem/3.0/
and
http://asanka-abeyweera.blogspot.com/2012/03/writing-plugins-for-totem-movie-player.html

What I don't know is how to change the pause event so that I can add an 
automatic backspace of a different amount from the defaults.

The other thought I had was to rewrite my foot pedal program so that 
instead of sending <ctrl><space> I'd have it send something not used by 
Movie Player, and write the plugin to handle that event.

In any case, what I need are some examples of plugins that handle events 
in Movie Player. Has anyone written a plugin for Totem Movie Player? Or, 
does anyone have any recommendations for samples of event handling for a 
Movie Player plugin?

Thanks.

Hi Dick,

This sounded like an interesting problem so I took a quick peek at the 
Totem code.

It turns out that it'll be pretty easy if you don't mind checking out 
and building Totem from source.

There's source available here:
https://github.com/GNOME/totem

In the file, totem-private.h, on line 173, is where the "seek back" 
amount is defined, as SEEK_BACKWARD_OFFSET. If you change that from -15 
to -2 that should theoretically do what you want.

https://github.com/GNOME/totem/blob/master/src/totem-private.h

Regards,
Jason

Thanks. I'll give that a try. I've not done much in the way of compiling 
from source, but I'm always willing to learn.

A question comes to mind. Once I install something I've compiled from 
source with modifications, how do I prevent updates from replacing it?

I tried it using these instructions:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html

First I created a directory Totem. Then, in that directory I ran:

$ apt-get source totem

I unpacked it in that directory, went to totem-3.0.1/src and picked up 
with your directions:

> In the file, totem-private.h, on line 173, is where the "seek back" 
> amount is defined, as SEEK_BACKWARD_OFFSET. If you change that from 
> -15 to -2 that should theoretically do what you want.

Then, back to the debian directions I navigated back up to the directory 
Totem and ran:

$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b

That generated a load of .deb files, but one of them, 
totem_3.0.1-Obuntu21.1_i386.deb seems like the one to install. Next, I ran:

$ sudo dpkg -i totem_3.0.1-0ubuntu21.1_i386.deb

How do I know where it put it? When I run Applications > Sound & Video > 
Movie Player, I get the version with the 15 second backspace.
