Hi all, I am developing a kioks-like embedded system. It has to play videos and show a stock ticker. Due the resource constraints, I want to avoid using the X server, so I am using dfb now.
Since there will be some GUI stuffs, I implemented a simple UI using gtk-directfb, including a stock ticker. But then, how should I play the video? Both mplayer's and vlc's browser plugins use xid for playing the video on an X window. However, there is no X in my system, and XDirectFB is just an X server with dfb backend, not suitable for embedded systems. I tried the basic dfb api before, particularly the video provider interface. It works fine, but I prefer implementing the stock ticker and other UI stuffs in gtk for its convenient layout mechanism. Does anyone have experience on this? Any advice and suggestions are welcomed! Selwyn -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
