<bump>

According to the rough planning, Antoine should be getting close to something useful. Any updates, lokidor?

Hm, I guess I can answer my own question...

Last activity: Mon, 18 Aug 2008: "Maemo GUI: Add a basic playlist listing the media files on the device"

I'd be interested in seeing a compiled version of this...

Re: Here is a working VLC Media Player!!
 

I should be able to build packages before the end of the weekend.

I dont know if Antoine will have the time to follow the planning.

From what I see on the git log for the moment he did not yet committed something about the webcam.

I hope he will at least have the time to provide packages optimized well, not like mine

New packages here

I got some bugs with the maemo interface but the playlist and the omapfb video output seems to work.

So, with the Google SoC 2008 over today, can we expect anything more, or does this mean we've got as much as we're going to get? Perhaps Antoine might still commit one more version to the VLC git? I mean, he's been doing something for the last two weeks, right? So he'll probably commit that before closing down his project, right?

Test results are not very good; mplayer is still a much better video player for the tablets. My tablet-optimized xvid files are not watchable via this VLC. The camera gets the "failed to wait (VIDIOC_DQBUF)" error. If you want to see the output, you can't run VLC twice, it is too resource hungry. mplayer works to receive the VLC video stream.

I guess it's a start to build upon...

Does streaming from webcam work with this version already? With http streaming?
I have tried to build vlc from those sources but i have failed everytime, tools in scratchbox are all so outdated...

Re: Here is a working VLC Media Player!!
 

Streaming over http works (audio or video but not both at the same time)

Typical command for video :
Did you followed the advices that I gave you in PM about the outdated tools in scratchbox ?
If you're still interested in building vlc inside scratchbox, I think I can help you a little bit. (have not a lot of time)
I thought more people would have done the same thing as me, so you are welcome.

How is this VLC project going on?? Is this guy Antoine still working on with this ? It would be nice to see maemo port of VLC.

Re: Here is a working VLC Media Player!!
 

how is VLC compared to the mplayer on maemo?
