I've tested the Channel 9 stuff, in case being in a VM messes things up, but I can see the vids (although they are shown in the Media Player - atypical behaviour).

I would think one of the reasons is you're closer to moonlight and wanted to get some of it applied in such a cool project, but do you think clutter would fit here, too?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203063759820106893.post-66086961283199390012008-08-29T07:49:00.000-04:002008-08-29T07:49:00.000-04:00oh, and:3.

Because even after the Banshee team manages to design and implement a flexible rendering engine, they'd still have to design and implement some sort of file format that users could edit to change the view ;-)<BR/><BR/>Oh, and they'd also have to write a program that could edit those views for people who don't care to learn the file format.<BR/><BR/>Right now, Inkscape can be used to edit XAML, so there are already tools that Banshee users can use to make modifications if they don't feel like poking at the file manually.<BR/><BR/>There will also be LunarEclipse that is being worked on for editing XAML.Jeffrey Stedfasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271561115384429651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-203063759820106893.post-45412481306762204442008-08-29T07:45:00.000-04:002008-08-29T07:45:00.000-04:00Why not create a short, clear API instead of all t...<I>Why not create a short, clear API instead of all that XML vomitus?</I><BR/><BR/>Because:<BR/><BR/>1. it would require several years worth of work for the Banshee team to come up with a rendering engine as flexible as Moonlight is today<BR/><BR/>2. why reinvent the wheel?<BR/><BR/>That's the whole point of taking advantage of work another project has already done <I>(in this case, Moonlight)</I>.
