it is not necessary to hide anything. one has to seperate two things wenn talking about vlc: *streaming server *video player with stream client if you check the wishlist for freevo in the wiki you will find both features requested. i added an url to my site for the server part as i was playing around with this a while ago using the 1.5 codebase. i am talking server only now: vlc works without any graphical interface in the console and can be started in the background with the required commandline arguments using freevo's "childapp" module. this childapp also supports sending commands to the process and receiving stdout and errout.. pretty cool actually :) my "playing around" came this far: *added item to main menu *activating this item starts streaming mpeg2 data using /dev/video0 and ivtv as source *it also sets a status flag in an idlebar plugin (says "stream on" then) *activating the menu item again ends and kills (if necessary) the vlc server and switches the status to "stream off" if one knows the freevo codebase this is the work of 2 hours at max. the code is a mess though, but i guess it would be a good starting point for further development. taking money for such a thing would be wrong imo. after all its FREEvo. talking client now: a vlc player plugin would probably look very much like the ones for mplayer or xine... dont know how hard it would be to adapt. regards florian > >On Tue, 2005-10-25 at 08:35 +0800, Ow Mun Heng wrote: >> On Mon, 2005-10-24 at 18:48 +0100, Karl Lattimer wrote: >> > how much is the bounty? >> >> Depends on the complexity of the work.
