This page exists to:
- Outline the theoretical function of the media player portion of the QOrbiter Application.
- Serve as a guide for developers to setup development environments and contribute
- Serve eventually as an api guide.
The Concept
QOrbiter is an attempt to leverage Qt / QML to create a more engaging user interface. This user interface includes media. As such, it must have the ability to not only control media, but play it as well. While a more traditional approach can be taken with Media Directors and the like, the fact that QOrbiter also runs on desktop machines and mobile phones provides a unique challenge.
Proposed Methods
- For Cores, Hybrid Cores, and Media Directors involves the traditional approach of wrapping dce around a media player. this will also include creation of a custom video component for use with qml ui's.
- For Desktop machines
- Windows - unknown
- Mac - Quicktime Player
- Linux - GStreamer
- For Mobile OS targets:
- Nokia N9 - tbd
- Android - Media streaming
- IOS - N/A at this time
- Symbian - tbd
