Before I get deeper into this project, I am wondering what experience people have had using PyMedia. I am uneasy about several things:
First is the lack of response to postings to this mailing list. Over half the postings in a sample of recent ones have no response. I am also uneasy about the documentation. It seems as if the documentation is old and somewhat out of date. For example, I learned in the response to a recent posting that Player has a getPosition() method, although that method does not appear in the documentation. Are people finding the documentation sufficient, or are you just staying close to the examples, or is it necessary to use trial-and-error or reverse engineering of the source to overcome deficiencies of the documentation? I am uneasy about the handling of bugs. Cesar Gonzalez found one back in Apr that has not yet been fixed. And finally, I am concerned about whether PyMedia is still being developed. The last item posted in "Latest News" is dated February, which at this point is nearly half a year ago. Possibly I am spoiled by my experience with wxPython. The community for that software appears to be large and active. The author responds to almost all postings, and he does so with alacrity. Bugs do not get fixed immediately, but there is at least a procedure for recording them, which suggests that they will get fixed someday. I am hoping to hear that PyMedia is sufficiently solid that my concerns are immaterial. In the limited testing I have done, it seems to work and it requires little effort. I want to believe that it is safe to proceed with this package. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Experience-using-PyMedia-tf1919429.html#a5254775 Sent from the pymedia-users forum at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
