Hi list.
I'm working on a project utilizing the Milkymist SoC, to be able to play
A/V streams.
Running software decoders on the soc wouldn't be practical - as per
Sebastien. So, my current goal is to run the decoders on a remote PC
while the soc is mainly used for I/O.
Both machines will communicate over a reliable ethernet link, so this is
basically modifying the decode_* functions in ffplay to work like remote
procedures.
I'm currently emulating this whole situation on a PC, I have modified
ffplay - a commandline video player that comes with ffmpeg - so that
currently the decode_audio function runs remotely and all the client
does inside this function is just network communication. A "Codec
Server"[0] runs on the PC and keeps waiting for decode requests.
Modifying the decode_video function will be almost the same, but I just
don't have time for it currently.
As I'm still not familiar with the SoC and its linux port, I wanted to
know if some of the dependencies are available on the linux port or not.
Those dependencies being :
- SDL, Which I think I read is available, but I'll probably need
libsdl1.2-dev to be there.
- zlib.
- libasound.
Those are needed for building ffmpeg and ffplay. If they were not
available, would I be able to port them in a reasonable amount of time ?
Would there be someone willing to help with this if that's indeed the
case ?
And of course, I'm waiting for the Milkymist One to go for sale online!
Thanks,
MT

better name than this. :)
