The first movida snapshot has been delayed for some days because I am currently working on some few features I want to be working in that release (at least to some extent).
The main feature is a new plugin system. The incoming snapshot should provide a sample plugin to import movies from the IMDb (and from other Internet sources sooner or later).
The plugin system only works with binary plugins (i.e. plain shared/dynamic libraries). IOW it’s platform dependant and you will need to build/download the plugins for your platform.
Embedding a perl/python/whateverelse interpreter would take away too much time and Qt 4.3’s QScript follows the ECMA script standard, thus making it not so interesting for our purposes (mainly because I want the scripting language to allow both file and network operations).
Nevertheless, the plugin system should allow me or other developers to write a plugin that adds scripting to movida, without changing the main application code.
Last but not least, I had to write a small (50LOC?) QLabel animator class because GIF support is optional in Qt and MNG’s are not supported by most image editors (specially on win32).
PS: I’m sorry but I didn’t update the SVN with the new plugin code yet
