XBLStatus - Xbox Live Friend viewer
1 Attachment(s)
Guys,
Its taken me a couple of days to find the time but I have successfully ported my first app and uploaded to extras-dev (getting the desktop file working proved the biggest pain in the @ss, and I get the feeling there would have been a better way to do it). This is a port of xblstatus made by people a lot cleverer than me to view xbox live friend activity. I take no credit other than porting it across to maemo, mainly for my own benefit, and also to see the process from beginning to end. Now that I have it working for me through the repository, I'm not in a rush to make any immediate changes, but some things that could be looked at further down the line:
All these should be do-able but Im still on a learning curve of the python coding process so prob won't be a quick implementation if at all. Give it a whirl and let me know if it works for you but got to say Im pretty damn proud of myself to have gotten this far. Still learning so any probs/advice/abuse....go easy :p P.S Cheers to the guys in my previous thread who helped me get to this point! |

Guys,
Make sure you do File/Quit to exit the application and dont just close the window otherwise the process will keep running in the background. Not sure if this could be resolved via the desktop file itself (I think it could as like I say the way I set it up probably wasn't the best) or something that needs added to the app. Quick way round it for now anyway. |

The app opens and tried to load but then exits by itself :(
Running PR 1.2 |
Re: XBLStatus - Xbox Live Friend viewer
Try to run it via XTerm xuggs, and let cferrism know what the output is.

Re: XBLStatus - Xbox Live Friend viewer
could be I missed a dependency in the package. if you run it manually via xterm by typing:
python /opt/xblstatus/xblstatus.py let me know what it complains about. |
Re: XBLStatus - Xbox Live Friend viewer
app opens fine for me (the non xterm way)
but just see this black screen: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1746/xbl.png logged in as myusername@xboxlive.org is this correct? |

When it comes to coding there are better people out there to help you than me. Im fine at reading it, and manipulating whats already there to get it to do what I want, but have a long way to go on the writing from scratch front. I've never been one for the 'hello world' school of thought. I prefer to get my teeth into something a bit more complex and figure it out as I go. As for the rest, running your code on the n900, packaging and getting it to a wider audience. Everything I needed was on this site already. |
