According to gstreamer.net, it already has support for FFmpeg. The cool thing about using gstreamer is that we could support any backend or plugin with minimal changes to the media player itself.
About the picogui video support, that is indeed on the todo list. I'd like to have memory-mapped bitmaps (including the framebuffer itself if the app registers exclusive access) and support for YUV overlays when applicable. I look forward to being able to run SDL games on picogui :) On Tue, May 28, 2002 at 12:21:34AM -0500, John Laur wrote: > If we are wanting to write a frontend for something that plays MP3 > files, may i suggest using 'ffmpeg' .. it works great even on fixed > point systems like the ARM and can decode damn near anything that has > anything to do with MPEG - from MP3 to DiVX to AC3.
