We plan to change it in the future (before the 1.0 release). We'd like to settle on a new API before we start to add more video providers. You can of course write a new video provider using the current API and then change it later. Or you could just make your application link against whatever video library and use DirectFB functions to draw the data to the screen. This is what mplayer does. Unfortunately the mplayer code is not that easy to read so it's probably not a good example. > Failing that, would it be hard in your opinion to write a gstreamer > plug-in to write to directfb directly ? I know about the gstreamer part, > so that bit shouldn't be hard ;) a GStreamer plug-in for DirectFB would indeed be nice. I haven't looked at the GStreamer architecture in detail so I can't tell you how difficult it would be.
