Project mention: Show HN: CLI tools to build, browse, and blend your media library | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-19
I think the reason I don't set this in KWin directly is because I want to override the geometry depending on if mpv closed fullscreen [2] or if I'm using lb wt with multiple-playback

Maybe there is something else in my mpv config that will help. Feel free to browse it: https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/computer/blob/main/.config/...

Project mention: Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2024)? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-29
I'm working on https://github.com/pronopython/rugivi RuGiVi-- an adult python PyGame app to fly over and zoom in and out of a huge image and video collection.
My app can handle landscapes of hundred of thousands of images at once. The last major feature addition was the ability to handle video files. These are presented as a collection of still frames within the "world". Currently I am trying to find bugs within the media loading scheduler mechanism.
The work is quite hard, because despite good installation numbers (pypi) and clones (github), there's literally no feedback whatsoever (bugs, questions etc). If this is because of the adult-use aspect or if this is normal I can't tell but would suggest the first reason. So I have to come up with possible problems people might have all by myself. Any feedback is highly welcomed!
