Ok, it's worth mentioning then that via funding from Viewpoints<br> Research Institute, Inc I am working on a<br> GStreamer plugin for squeak in order to address video licensing issues<br> on linux based machines, aka OLPC.<br>
<br> <a href="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/">http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/</a><br> <br> With a target completion date the end of March.<br> <br> Although the standard set of GStreamer features does not support MPEG,<br>
those patent encumbered codecs are GStreamer loadable options.</blockquote><div><br><br>Great, gstreamer would allow many video sources. I'm thinking not only on mpeg, even flv video could be used, so we could watch youtube from Squeak :-D<br>
<br><br>I just would like to ask this plugin and others as dbus and tome plugins to be included in the main squeak vm branch. It does not make too much sense having these features and not being included in the "official" unix vm image. The dbus plugin could be kept appart as it's mostly for olpc features, but it does not make any damage including it in the main vm and would let the linux users having the same vm for any computer, including olpc.<br>
<br>Regards.<br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> How this will be supported on os-x and windows is unknown since<br>
loading GStreamer on os-x is an all morning affair.<br> <br><br> <br> <br> On Mar 17, 2008, at 1:38 AM, José Luis Redrejo wrote:<br> <br> > Yes, the only plugin removed from the current svn sources is<br> > MPEG3Plugin.<br>
