After talking to PetriW for a few minutes, well... I think I take back what I said.

At least for now.

Oh well. I'd probably be ok with a small udp client. Always online, so no need for a local copy yet.

It'll be interesting to see how you plan on doing this. ^^;

My idea of a multiplatform client is a wxBase based (note: not wxGTK, wxWin or wxMac, but wxBase only!) backend that can communicate with anidb and manage the local copy. Basically, do what aom does without the GUI. And then some documentation about how to use that lib, so it'd be possible to have m...

Which reminds me I still need to edit some minor points in that page...

PetriW's wiki doesn't like me very much, so I'll see if I manage to do it today.

[...]Comon exp, why you punishing us who choose not to take part in bill gates' monopoly.[...] O.o What are you talking about? The only reason there's only a windows "full" client is because PetriW 's spent a nearly unhealthy ammount of time doing it. As it has been said before, get exp's...

I'm not sure if I should reply in English or just whine (also in English, of course) about someone making sure people know he's a brazilian in an international, English speaking forum.

Uh? You're the dev? (Sorry. I can't read a thing in Russian - or, for that matter, anything that's not in either English or Portuguese.) I'll be waiting for your next version, then. ^^; Btw, thx for the tool! http://dongato.dyndns.org/icon/yellow/mod_icon_thumb.gif [Edit]Baka me! You're name's in th...

Wow! Thx! Good tool for avi. For mkv, though, it still fails at getting me some information about bitrates. :( $ avinfo Oruchuban_Ebichu_-_01.avi Oruchuban_Ebichu_-_01.avi, 148Mb video: 512x384 00:21:08 23.97fps DivX3 848Kbps audio: 44KHz 00:21:08 Stereo 127Kbps mp3 against $ avinfo gunslinger.girl....

...is there any?

mkvinfo gives me the codec, height, width, etc. Can't find length (not really a problem, just starting mplayer gives me that) nor bitrates, though.

At least, is there a good way to calculate bitrates from the info mkvinfo provides?

[...]does anyone know if postgres supports some kind of fuzzy text searching?[...] Well... a quick look at google and I found in PostgreSQL developers' page something about "fuzzy search" . Couldn't find anything else of relevance in that page, though. Interesting that the guy listed as h...

[...]Fixed in my last template (2.6) but exp has to re-upload it (a minor mistake was in the original version). You can get the new files from the html light-blue template thread and you can see an example there. ;) Hum? Wait a sec... Was it solved already or I just saw a really fast response? O.o ...

Niiice. ^^; That last one almost got me to write some phpBB template (though I suck at anything web based, so don't expect anything :P ). One thing had been bothering me, though. All these designs (anidb's and DG's included) suffer from using single letters as links. That's fine for, say, an m . But...

[...]I just wanted to point out qemu. It's a decent free alternative to vmware, which runs without a kernelpatch in userspace: http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/ It still implies in: Wasting space with a windows install (for a single program? no, thanks) Having a windows copy Doesn't look like it...

Can't the small(?) proportion of non-windows users just use a windows emulator?[...] I wouldn't mind if I could. But wine doesn't run aom (yet! PetriW said 0.6 should be much more wine friendly :D ). And I'm not willing to use WMware. :roll: XUL would be a nice partly platform independent way of do...

I'm happy already.

Btw, can we get prettier emoticons in this forum (like the ones in AnimeReactor's forum)? This happy guy looks weird. (And so does this tongue. )
