Dummy plugin is an xmms plugin that helps newbee vis plugin coders with the needed funcions for xmms vis plugins.

Dummy plugin only has the needed functions and a working audio renderer.

Tiff Plugin is Mozilla/Netscape compatible plugin for viewing TIFF images.
Its features include zooming, rotation, and a progress bar when downloading images. It is ideal for when available memory is limited.
Main features:
- Zoom in - keyboard shortcut +
- Zoom out - keyboard shortcut -
- Rotate anticlockwise - keyboard shortcut a
- Rotate clockwise - keyboard shortcut c
- Progress bar when downloading images
The plugin is available in .deb format for i386 and amd64 systems. So debian based systems can install with
dpkg -i mozilla-tiff-plugin-i386.deb
OR
dpkg -i mozilla-tiff-plugin-amd64.deb
For non debian based systems, the sources need to be compiled. For compiling the packages pkg-config, libgtk2.0-dev and mozilla-dev need to be installed. The steps to install the source would be
tar -zxvf mozilla-tiff-plugin.tar.gz
cd mozilla-tiff-plugin
make
make plugin
make install
The plugin has been tested on firefox and mozilla browsers.
Enhancements:
- Multi-page tiff support was added.
- Memory management was improved.

DB Copy Plugin is a database copying plugin for the SQuirreL SQL Client. DB Copy Plugin makes it possible to copy and paste tables from one session to another and between different databases and includes primary key and foreign key constraints for copied tables, and uses Hibernate 3.0 internally to perform database object type mappings.
It supports Firebird, Oracle, Sybase, MS SQL Server, MySQL, HyperSonic, Pointbase, and PostgreSQL, and allows the user to select a Hibernate dialect for the destination database if one couldnt be determined automatically.
Enhancements:
- Ran latest version of findbugs (http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/) and fixed Ran latest version of findbugs (http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/) and fixed

XMMS VQF Plugin is the native Plugin for XMMS. I felt it was important to get it out there when I was pretty sure there was no serious bugs. If you do find a bug, read the INSTALL and ChangeLog files for details of what to do.

Kindly dont send mails of the nature, It sucks or, its broke with no additional information. I am confident there wont be need for mails like that though.

Compiling is usually trivial, ./configure, make, make install. Under Debian, it depends on the libglib1.2-dev and libgtk1.2-dev packages so youll need to install them.

However, XMMS VQF Plugin also depends on a binary SDK, it will not work with newer compilers. Late 3.2 compilers and all 3.3 compilers are known to now work unless the std namespace is explicitly disabled for the g++ build.

If you use a recent compiler, download the binary version of the plugin instead. If you have your input plugins somewhere other than /usr/local/lib/xmms/Input, you will need to add a --prefix to the ./configure.

Kopete OTR Plugin enables Off-The-Record encryption for the KDE instant messenger Kopete. It is based on libotr-3.0.0 available at http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr. Using this plugin you can encrypt chatsessions to other users with IM-Cients supporting the OTR encryption method.
What you need:
A recent version of KDE including headers for compiling. Versions 3.5.5 and 3.5.6 are known to work.
A recent Version of Kopete including headers. Versions 0.12.3, 0.12.4 and latest svn (thanks to MerlinTC - 22.03.07) are known to work.
The libotr including headers. The plugin was developed against version 3.0.0.
You will also need all the compile tools for compiling KDE applications.
Installation
After downloading do the following:
tar -jxvf kopete_otr.tar.bz2
cd kopete_otr
./configure
make
make install
Enhancements:
- Fixed a crash when joining Jabber-MUCS
- Added a popup when receiving a new (unknown) fingerprint
- Removed duplicate shown messages on automatic resend
- rewrote messagehandling (output is more userfriendly now)
- corrected permissions on keyfiles
- fixed a crash when reading the fingerprint file
- minor fixes

SoundCard Plugin is an input plugin for XMMS which enables to read audio data directly from the soundcard.

Using the plugin you can now use your computer with the XMMS player as a powerful sound processor with any of XMMS effect plugins, such as, equalizer or echo effects.

In particular, this plugin in combination with the FIR filter plugin enables you to use your PC as a DSP to process audio data in real-time using long FIR filters without any need for dedicated DSP hardware.

Crystality Plugin consists of XMMS plugin and stdin/stdout plugin. It was written for realtime remastering of sound from mp3 files.
You will need a reasonably good stereo and a good ear to notice quality
improvement, otherwise this is not for you.

This plugin tries to patch mp3 format flaws, not a poor audio hardware! Yes, you should be able to hear well enough (sorry) - for some of my friends plugin is a cool thing, while the others does not hear nothing but echo and stereo expander (well, you will hear every effect if you set it to the maximum, but it will not sound nice).

Crystality was written for 16bit 44.1kHz stereo sound and may give strange results
with other sound formats.

Damian Hodgkiss sent me a quick port for Winamp 2.x. I have not tried it yet, but you can get it (cr-quick-winamp-port.zip).

This plugin does mainly four things (and some minor tricks):

1. Adds some sounds in very high frequency range. Most of the mp3s in The Net are flawed with a 16(15?) kHz cutoff. Even these ones compressed at high bitrates. This spectrum hole is audible and very unpleasant. This plugin helps a bit. Old mp3s made from the vinyl or the magnetic tape may also sound better with these "steroids". For old mp3s youll probably need to set filter to 0.1.

2. Adds some even harmonic distortions (actually nonlinearity), that sounds nice. Valve amps introduce even harmonic distortions (although differnt way) Look at audiophile pages for more info (well, mp3 format is not an audiophile stuff at all, but... welcome to the real world...).

3. Adds simple, but nice 3D echo (concert hall or church like). Most of echo plugins sounds too hard and aggresively for me. This one does not.

4. Extends stereo.

USING:

There are currently two versions of plugin - XMMS plugin and stdin/stdout. Stdin/out plugin is completly independent of XMMS plugin. It even stores its configuration in a separate file (~/.crystalityrc). Stdin/out plugin is alpha code, so some features are missed. You cannot reopen configuration dialog after closing without restarting plugin, there are no "save config", "load config" buttons. Configuration is loaded automatically on startup and saved on exit, either on normal finish or ^C. You can disable GUI with -g option (useful in scripts).

Because this plugin adds some sounds at high frequencies, you will probably need to decrease treble level on your amplifier. Plugin does not perform normalization, so you should slightly decrease signal level in XMMS equalizer (NOT volume slider on the main panel). Setting sliders to the maximum is generally a bad idea (well, except the filter, where that setting is useful).

PERFORMANCE:

It eats about 15% of CPU on my AMD K6-2/400 and optimization is still possible, this is not highly optimized code.

INSTALLATION:

Distribution contains binary version of XMMS plugin library and stdin/stdout plugin executable (Linux i586, glibc 2.1.3). You may copy plugin library file (libcrystality.so) into XMMSs Effect directory and executable (crystality-stdio) to /usr/local/bin or any location you prefer. For default locations simply type:

make install

and thats it.
You may also build crystality from the source.

make buildinstall

typed as root in the source directory should be all you have to do.

This plugin was my first small step in gtk programming, so dont expect any wonders, GUI is actually a quick hack to hardcoded settings. I am not a GUI programmer.

xmms-status-plugin is a general plugin for the xmms mp3 player. It provides a docklet for the GNOME Status applet and the KDE panel.
Under GNOME 2.0 XMMS Status Plugin uses the freedesktop.org Notification Area specification. To use this you must add the Notification Area applet to your panel.
Under GNOME 1.2 XMMS Status Plugin uses the GNOME status dock. To use XMMS Status Plugin you need to add the status dock from the panel right click menu.
The KDE equivalent of the docklet panel applet is apparently on the KDE panel by default and the xmms-status-plugin has been reported to work under KDE.
Enhancements:
- src/eggtrayicon.c: Add some debugging stuff.
- src/gtkplugxembed.c: Remove loads of old g_print statements. Use gdk_window_(un)ref not gtk_object_(un)ref in several places.
- src/xmms-status-plugin.c: Be more careful with the timeout function to ensure it doesnt continue runnign when we exit, and the callback takes care of error conditions more gracefully.
