Goggles 0.9.1 is video software developed by Sander Jansen.
Goggles is a frontend for the Ogle DVD player. It supports all the features that Ogle provides, including bookmarks, and adds automatic starting, automatic bookmarks, a convenient preferences panel for setting keyboard shortcuts, DXR3 settings, and language and country preferences.

Goggles is written in C++ using the FOX Toolkit.

Here are some key features of "Goggles":

  • Easy user interface giving access to all Ogle functionality.
  • Add Bookmark your movies.
  • "Continue last session" - Automatically continue the movie since the last time you watched it!
  • Chapter/Title browser, explore the whole dvd
  • Screenshot browser
  • Ogle Preferences Panel for Language and Country Settings
  • Automatically disable Screensaver and DPMS
  • Configure Keyboard Shortcuts from the GUI
  • Xvideo Control Panel (Xv is required)
  • DXR3 Control Panel (Creative dxr3 required)
  • PDF Manual

    Requirements:
  • Ogle 0.9.2 or Ogle CVS
  • FOX 1.4 (stable )
  • libpng

    Installation

    1. Install all required dependencies: FOX and Ogle. If you install Ogle by rpm, you also need the ogle-devel package

    2. Untar the zip file and go into the newly created directory

    > tar -xvzf goggles-0.8.0.tar.gz
    > cd goggles-0.8.0

    3. Run the Goggles Build script 'gb' to start compiling goggles. There are several command line options you may have to specify when running this script. For a complete overview of all options use:

    >./gb --help

    If you're running Ogle from CVS, you need to specify:

    >./gb --ogle-cvs=yes

    We assume that all required packages are installed in /usr. If thats not the case, you can change the installation prefix for each package on the commandline:

    >./gb --fox-prefix=/usr/local --ogle-prefix=/usr/local

    4. If everything compiled fine, you are ready to install Goggles in its final location. By default this will be in /usr. Using the --prefix option you can tell gb to install it somewhere else. You need to make sure that ogle and goggles are installed in the same prefix location

    > su
    > ./gb install [--prefix=/usr/local]

    5. Run Goggles

    > goggles

    What's New in This Release:
  • Some minor compilation warnings on newer GCC versions were fixed.
  • The default X11 directory prefix was changed to /usr/lib and /usr/include.
    Goggles 0.9.1 supports different languages (including english). It works with Linux.

    Downloading Goggles 0.9.1 will take several seconds if you use fast ADSL connection.
