You need that part of kaa that is not finished yet. Freevo 2.0 now uses kaa.mevas as gui engine, but it is too slow. There is kaa.canvas which is based on evas but also has some performace problems. Jason wants to do a rewrite of that called kaa.cnady which will be usable at the end of May. > There would also be some pages to see the player's statistics (disk > space usage, display some logs, system's information, etc...). > > It should also be able to play with different outputs: vga, hdmi, > s-video. Besides VGA, I don't know much about this and how feasable this > is (any driver specific depenencies ?). Kaa provies a player called kaa.popcorn that uses mplayer or xine as backend. A gstreamer backend is work in progress. We also have a cool main loop (kaa.notifier in kaa.base), some nice helper stuff in kaa.base, metadata parser (kaa.metadata), a generic display driver (kaa.display) with X11 and FB support (DFB coming I hope) and an integrated webserver based on cherrypy. You also get db access, rpc and a config module. Dischi -- Who the fuck is "General Failure", and why is he reading my disk?
