Overview
eMotion is an Mplayer front end. It operates like a media player.
Requirements
You must have Mplayer installed in order for eMotion to operate. It will, however, build without it.
You must have Python version 1.5.2 or higher installed to build eMotion. It is not required to run eMotion.
You must have Qt installed. eMotion has not been tested with versions of Qt below version 3.0.4. It has been confirmed to operate as intended with Qt 3.0.4.
Mplayer Version
eMotion will function well with any version of Mplayer, however, some features work only with the current CVS version. It is recommended that you install it.
Installation
./configure
make
make install
Removal
Should you, for whatever strange reason, wish to uninstall eMotion, you may do so with either of two ways:
- Type 'make uninstall' (without the quotes) in a configured eMotion source directory.
- Run the uninstall_emotion script (which was installed with eMotion) as root.
Customization
eMotion is not skinnable. It probably never will be, unless someone submits a patch for it.
If you wish to customize your icons, you must replace the PNGs in the icons directory. Run a make install after this so that eMotion can find the new ones.
Key bindings are not yet customizable (see TODO for the roadmap)
Wishlist, bugs, and feature requests
The TODO list has the list of known bugs in it and also features. They are organized by the release they are planned on being added in. If you have an issue that is not in the list, feel free to email me at <mike@swieton.net>
Documentation
The eMotion web site is distributed with the source code in the html/ directory. The site includes the documentation.
