Hello, As many of you may not follow the TV mailing list. I post you an information about a proposal which might also present interest outside of the TV world.
when you start to play video on Linux you realise quickly that no solution can cover the full need of playing video for a real full TV application. If you try to create a Consumer Electronic (CE) device, you likely use a System on Chip (SoC) which provides a concept of video overlay which provide a great help on performance but make any integration very specific. The propose specification has been written for TV but cold be valuable to any device which either wants to be fully compliant with TV requirement when playing videos or use SoC with hardware acceleration. The proposed specification aims at creating a generic service for Linux (I will start by MeeGo TV) which could unify the play out of a video and make transparent the support of various hardware helper provider by some chip and in particular the support of overlay video common on SoC. Thanks to let me know your feedback, preferably on the MeeGo TV mailing list..
