[agl-dev-community] Collabora weekly progress w/e 26th January 2020

["Nick Milner" <nick.milner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please find below a brief summary of the progress Collabora have made last week on Pipewire and Weston/Wayland.

    PipeWire
    
    George:
        - Continued work on simplifying some WirePlumber API to align
    with recent PipeWire changes
        - Added the ability to generate API documentation for
    WirePlumber in its build system, using hotdoc
        - Started writing API documentation for WirePlumber
        - Reviewed some of Julian's work on the fade in/out feature that
    he is implementing on PipeWire
    
    Julian:
        - Fixed pipewire example-control executable on master
        - Implemented pipewire adapter-control executable to test audio
    fade in/out with audioadapter nodes
        - Implemented handling of control sequences in pipewire
    channelmix node to do fade in/out
        - Fixing tiny pipewire audio glitches when testing fade in/out
    with adapter-copntrol example
    
    Weston / Wayland
    
    Marius:
        
        - took a deeper look at agl-service-homescreen in a tentative to
    determine if exposing some of the requests from the agl-shell
    protocol can be done in the binder. While I do have some code for
    this,the initial feedback was negative and decided to focus more on
    upstreaming the changes for the compositor the applications
    themselves. Will revisit it once I start looking into notification
    mechanism.
        - in the process of upstreaming agl-compositor fixes/updates and
    adaptation of homescreen/launcher/hvac/mediaplayer/navigation-demo,
    and making sure the build image launches straight into the client
    shell (homescreen). Half-way through on the applications,  trying to
    see if there's an alternative of modifying each yocto recipe, as
    suggested by Jan-Simon.
        - wrote a simplified client shell to further test the qtwayland
    issue, and started to reach out qtwayland people to gather more info
    about it. All of this point it seems a qtbase/qtwayland version
    update might fix it, but not 100% sure on it. There's a planned
    update which should in the reach AGL master version in the next
    month.

Kind regards,

    Nick
