Release of libmygpo-qt 1.0.8 (Qt5 support inside :) )

Dear Blog Readers,  Dear Planet KDE Readers,

I’m happy to announce the release of a new version of my project libmygpo-qt. It again has been a while, over one year since the last release. And although it took so long, this release doesn’t include many new features, except one: support for building the library with Qt5.

Before I get into detail about this release, first let me tell you what libmygpo-qt is, because in my last post someone complained that it wasn’t clear enough from the post. So if you already know what it is, you can skip the next two paragraphs. To be able to explain what libmygpo-qt is, I first have to tell you about gpodder.net.

What is gpodder.net?

Probably some of the people reading this post know the gPodder podcast client, a free and open-source podcast client available for Linux, Mac OS X, the Nokia N9, Sailfish OS and some more platforms. gpodder.net is a website and REST webservice that can be used to search for podcasts, get podcast toplists and data for podcasts & episodes. But it can do much more: if you register a free account (the software running the webservice is also open-source), you can synchronize your podcast subscriptions, playback status of episodes and even the playback position (although unfortunately this feature isn’t yet support by many clients). There are also third-party podcast clients for Android that use gpodder.net.

What is libmygpo-qt?

libmygpo-qt started out as a project for an university course, to be used for gpodder.net integration in Amarok and is since then developed and maintained by me. It is a C++/Qt library wrapping the gpodder.net webservice and does everything from sending the request to the correct endpoint, authentication and parsing the returned JSON data into object, so that the developers using this library don’t have to know the details of the webservice. Nowadays it is also used by Clementine.

What are the new feature in libmygpo-qt 1.0.8

The most important feature is the support for building the library with Qt5. Due to my work on Tomahawk & libechonest and learning how to building Tomahawk with Qt5 and how to adapt CMake build scripts to Qt5, I implemented this functionality also in libmygpo-qt. So now you can build it either with Qt4 or with Qt5. Both versions can be installed next to each other and the API of the library is the same for Qt4 & Qt5. If there are any unexpected problems with the Qt5 version, please let me know.

I hope this blog post explained detailed enough what libmygpo-qt is and where it is used. Now I did my part on this library, if you are the developer of a C++/Qt library and it isn’t yet ready for Qt5: Go ahead and port it, it is really easy 🙂

P.S.: I’m going to Akademy 2014, but more about that in a seperate post 🙂

Release of libmygpo-qt 1.0.7

Dear Blog Readers,

after exactly half a year, a new version of libmygpo-qt is ready.

Changes in v1.0.7:

  • New Config Class. This class allows to programmatically to retrieve the
    libmygpo-qt version and retrieve and set the gpodder.net API endpoint
    (e.g. if you test your software against a private instance of gpodder.net)
  • Config Class also allows to set a prefix to the user-agent. Please
    never completely overwrite the user-agent set in libmygpo-qt (instead
    pre/append your own, e.g. via mygpo::Config::setUserAgentPrefix( … ) )
  • fixed a bug that created incomplete Episode Actions if an Episode
    Action couldn’t be parsed completely by libmygpo-qt
  • fixed a small bug with the pkgconfig file (thx to davidsansome)
  • added support for uploading & retrieving flattr Episode Actions to
    gpodder.net (this allows you to automatically flattr Podcast Episodes
    from any podcatcher that uses libmygpo-qt)

Want to support libmygpo-qt?

You can support the development of libmygpo-qt you can send me a book via my Amazon Wishlist or donate via paypal to stefan@derkits.at

What is libmygpo-qt?

libmygpo-qt is a Qt/C++ library wrapping the gpodder.net Webservice.
It is currently used in Amarok & Clementine to retrieve a directory of
podcasts & to synchronize podcast subscriptions with gpodder.net

libmygpo-qt 1.0.6 release

A long time (nearly a year) passed since the last libmygpo-qt release.
Today there was the first gPodder hackday (of many more to come) and
so it was time to fix some bugs, test the library a little bit and
make a new release

I’m looking for contributors, so if you wanna work on a
interesting library used atm by Amarok, Clementine & Nokia Podcasts,
drop me a line.

Changes in 1.0.6:
-) added support for DeviceSync API. This API makes it possible to
set up synchronization with existing gpodder.net devices from inside
your application
-) set Contenttype Header to avoid warnings with Qt 4.8
-) some fixes & enhancements to CMake build system

General Infos about libmygpo-qt

What is libmygpo-qt?

libmygpo-qt is a Qt/C++ Library wrapping the gPodder.net Webservice. It
was created as part of a University Course & it is used in
Amarok (since 2.4.1) with the new gpodder.net
Service, that makes the gpodder.net Podcast Directory available from
within Amarok.

One of the next Versions of Amarok (2.5) require libmygpo-qt 1.0.5 for the
gPodder PodcastProvider, with which you can synchronize your local
Podcasts between Amarok and gpodder.net (and other podcatchers with
gpodder.net integration).

libmygpo-qt 1.0.4 released

Summer (and with it Google Summer of Code) is over and Lucas Lira Gomes sucessfully finished his GSoC Project (Integration of gpodder.net into Amarok), so expect to be able to synchronize your podcasts between Amarok & gpodder.net soon.

In addition to that, Ari Hannula from Nokia created Podcasts for the Nokia N9, which also utilizes libmygpo-qt for synchronizing and searching podcasts.

Thanks to Lucas & Ari, we found (and fixed ) some Bugs in libmygpo-qt, so we announce hereby the availability of libmygpo-qt v1.0.4

Changes in 1.0.4:
-) fixed a bug with an invalid timestamp when uploading EpisodeActions
-) fixed a bug with a wrong url when retrieving EpisodeActions by Podcast
-) fixed a crash happening on MeeGo because of the deletion of QNetworkReply Pointers

P.S.: Desktop Summit was awesome, my first (but for sure not last) FOSS conference, I will write about it sooner or later 😉

P.P.S.: libmygpo-qt is always looking for additional Developers, so if you’ve read till here and are interested, drop me a line 😉

libmygpo-qt 1.0.3 released

Amarok 2.4.1 is released and with it the first Application to use libmygpo-qt.

Thanks for all the Feedback since 1.0.2 … it’s time again for a new Bugfix Release, so here is libmygpo-qt 1.0.3

Also at the Moment there is a GSoC Project running, trying to create a Podcast Provider, which allows you to synchronise your Amarok Podcasts with gpodder.net.

What is gpodder.net?

gpodder.net is a Webservice (with an open API) that can be used for discovering new Podcasts (via Search, Toplists, Tags etc) and for Synchronization of Podcast Subscriptions & Podcast/Episode Status.
