But I don't know how to control the interface from a controlling application. Nor do I know anything about the streaming server stuff. I've only ever used the client, and even then just for testing and playing, since the union of mplayer and xine implements every feature I need. > Yes and no.

Jason hacked stuff to do this for mplayer and > xine and this is still missing for vlc. Right. Adding support for a new video player is seriously non-trivial. To get the full, seamless integration we're aiming for in Freevo 2.0, the player will need support for OSD BGRA buffer, and the ability to copy each frame to shared memory as it's being drawn. Jason.
