Openofficesrc-plugin

Hi.

Has anyone been working on a source for
openoffice-slidehows?
Im on a project which might need it in a year or so, and
would
hate to start from scratch i anyone already had something
going.

The idea would be to stream video of the slideshow and
control
the show (forward, back, etc.) + the ability to open all the
format open office supports.


Best Regards
Michael Krog

No one that I know is working on this, no; the best idea
that we had
(IMO) for video + openoffice integration was to do desktop
sharing on
the presentation machine via vnc, and capture video via rfb.
Mike Smith
has been poking at this a bit.

That way you take take an openoffice presentation and make a
video out
of it. You could then seek in it later if you like. Not
exactly what you
were asking for, but hey...

I wanted to do this to integrate with Flumotion.  OpenOffice
ships with
a python interpreter and UNO bindings that allow you to
inspect and
manipulate OpenOffice instances running.

The idea was basically to listen for advances in an impress
slideshow,
have ooo generate a png from that, and then mux that png
into a
Flumotion Ogg stream.

It's definately possible, but OpenOffice's UNO api's are
hard to get
through  After half
a day of hacking I was getting OpenOffice to type
whatever text I wanted into a new document, but OOImpress's
API was less
documented.

If you are serious about hacking on this, let us know - it
would be a
*great* feature to have.

Okay. I would think it would be possible using the
UNO-framework.
Check out this guy: http://mithr
andr.moria.org/blog/447.html

He starts up a headless openoffice and uses the
UNO-framework
to open documents and convert to PDF via the remote headless
openoffice instance.

Somehow it must be possible to make openoffice draw on a
custom canvas or frame and let that be the source for
imagedata.
