  • Q:Does our media player support both audio and video files?
  • Q:What kind of decoding library should be added?

(User:Mickey)

The S3C2410 is too slow to do video. Audio-wise, we should limit support for the most popular formats which is

  • mp3
  • ogg
  • wav.

We don't have an FM-Chip in the device, so I'm afraid we can't do .mid -- at least not in hardware. There are software MIDI players available, but I don't know whether this is interesting for us or not.


[Q]: At present, we will decide what kind of third party software for media player?

(Sean Moss-Pultz) What kind of third party software do you have in mind?

(Alex) What about RealPlayer? It has a linux version, but for mobile phone use, the performance should be taken into consideration.

(Sean Moss-Pultz) Unless we can't find a FOSS version, I would prefer not to use closed-source programs. Have a look at the follow:

We should check what OPIE and GPE use. User:Mickey Can you provide some feedback here?

(Alex) GPE and OPIE both have their own media players.

  • GPE's NMF[3] is based on GStreamer[4]. NMF can play ogg and mp3 files.
  • OPIE's opie-mediaplayer2[5] It plays mp3, mpeg, wav, ogg, quicktime, divx and more. Also it is streaming capable.
