Hi there
This is an amazing project, congrats :)
Ok, I work on mplayer/ffmpeg and I'd like to help you guys out fullfiting whatever multimedia needs you may have (software wise) . I had a little chat with some of you on #olpc today and a few ideas where thrown on the table, Im here asking for your comments and any other idea you may have, here is what i have so far then:
1.- The hability to play/display video is considered a must 2.- Ttreaming would be nice 3.- Real time encoding from camera is wished
- would this be the only 'encoding' need?
4.- Optimization work for geode its a must
- there is already some work on olpc's software repo
5.- The idea of streamlining mplayer was suggested, sounds doable. 6.- The idea of building something new on top of ffmpeg was suggested, sounds unpractical to me but, who knows ..
Other not mentioned ideas
1.- What are the key points of system integration for the displaying/encoding app? - file manager ? - browser ? 2.- If cli sounds too complex for kids what do you think should be the main caracteristics of a multimedia app gui? do you have some usability guidelines i guess, does them apply to this subject?
There is a lot to add here, hope to get the discussion started.
Best regards
