Anyone interested in a quicktime/linux player for SDL?

Got one working. Not sure if to distribute now or once I’m done playing
with quicktime server :slight_smile:
(This is -not- a network capable one…)
All it needs is SDL, a good stdc++ and ummm… no, that’s it.
Got a couple other bits working too :slight_smile:
(avi player for -uncompressed- avi, quickcam/tv watcher, and mpg2 player
but libmpeg2 is not efficient)

Well, if noone asks I won’t post it anywhere. I’m working on a project
that’ll use these so… well, I figure’d I’d offer anyways :slight_smile:

G’day, eh? :slight_smile:

Sure… I find xanim currently sucks at Quicktime files, and would love
to be able to view them.

What would be nice is a nice, clean polished app that perhaps combines as
many formats as possible, using a plugin architecture to do so… It’s
annoying having to have 3 different movie players to deal with only a limited
set of formats, and then having to open a console to get any real
configuration out of them…

I’d be interested in helping out with the interface and/or modularization of
your app, if I can find the free time (which is becoming more and more
available lately, thank the Gods), and if you’re interested in moving your
app along this path… ^,^

Maybe this is a licence problem. The Codecs (i.e Soerensen) are not
free. AFAIK only old Codecs are supported by Xanim.

Actually my experience with xanim suggests that most codecs outside of
mpeg-based ones and Sorenson are supported.

xanim does not support ASF. Actually I haven’t found -anything-
opensource that does…

Sorensen as far as I know is a restricted apple-only CODEC.

One of the big problems with CODECs is that they do tend to be
restrictively licensed. What’s needed is some form of universal media
management that could support the modular construction of CODECs - this
would make most of the license holders happy. Linux at this point does
not have such a system (regardless of what KDE or gnome have to say about
it). Linux is a -text- based system and requiring a graphical front end
to compress/decompress files is rediculous. It’s perfectly acceptable for
display programs though :slight_smile:

And on my release - I talked to my boss about this and while I’m aloud to
release a binary at this time the company has to review my source to see
if there’s any problems with that. It doesn’t look like there will be
though :slight_smile:
So I can release binaries at this point.
Well, what do you WANT to see?
I’ll be providing an initial base of CODEC support - and if I can get it
working even a wine plugin for running windows CODEC’s just like some X
players - but that may not work outside of X. Quicktime CODECs and AVI
CODECs are surprisingly similar so a universal CODEC server is quite
doable.

But dang, I was hoping to release my streaming audio player :slight_smile:
Well, maybe a tutorial on it then…

G’day, eh? :slight_smile:

avifile does (http://divx.euro.ru)
But it works only on X86 computers since it uses Windows DLLs.
There’s certainly a way to use its library with SDL.–

Xtheater does this (xtheater.sourceforge.net).
