Whaaw! Media Player is an audio/video player using gstreamer (like totem but without GNOME dependencies).

Whaaw! Media Player will play any audio/video files which gstreamer can play. It supports fullscreen mode, seeking, changing video colour settings and more. It is inteded to be a basic media player similar to totem.

Ixion is a media player that uses wxWidgets and GStreamer. Its is just a simple video player that can play at double or half speed. It can be useful as an example of how to write a simple app based on wxWidgets and/or GStreamer.

Ixion is a media player written in C/C++ using wxWidgets and GStreamer. It is not a bleeding edge, full-featured, eye-candy, all-in-one application; Ixion exists only because I needed a video player that could play at double or half speed. However, it can be useful if you want to see how to write a simple app based in wxWidgets and/or GStreamer. Source code is available for download under the GPL license.

You can download the source code from the downloads section. It will compile on most *nix systems ig there are the required libraries, including GNU/Linux.

Alternatively, you can get the source code using anonymous CVS access:
$ cvs -d:ext:anonymous@cvs.lug.fi.uba.ar:/cvsroot/ixion co ixion

Gecko Media Player is a browser plugin that uses GNOME MPlayer to play media in a browser.

The project should work with all browsers on Unix-ish systems(Linux, BSD, Solaris) and use the NS4 API (Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, etc.).

Gecko Media Player is in heavy development, but I wanted to get some code drops out there so that people can start using and testing it.

Beep Media Player RSS feed provider is a tool for generating RSS feeds of songs played by BMP.

bmp-rss-feeder is a plugin for the Beep Media Player that makes it possible to publish an RSS feed containing the names of recently played songs.

The feed can be published both locally and on the Internet.

BMP is a multimedia player that currently uses a skinned user interface based on Winamp 2.x skins.

The original project name was "beep". Then we discovered that another project of the same name existed, and extended it to "Beep Media Player" to distinguish the two.

This new name is of course cumbersome to type, so it was informally shortened to BMP (or sometimes BeepMP) for everyday usage. Along the way, somehow or another, some of the developers no longer recognize it as an acronym. There is still no official word on whether to drop the original form. But whatever happens, the name BMP is here to stay.

Milosz Derezynski started hacking on XMMS alone in the fall of 2003 and eventually made it compile against GTK+2. He went on to release it to the public under the name Beep and stirred up considerable interest among XMMS users who were eager to move their favourite application to GTK+2. From that moment on, the way was clear.

media hive is a web-based playlist system, media catalog manager, and streaming content provider.

With it, you can view your media collection from anywhere using your favorite web browser, and play it with commonly-available media players such as Windows Media Player, XMMS, and many others.

If you are familiar with programs such as iTunes, WinAmp, and MusicMatch Jukebox, then you know the basics of what the hive can do from a catalog management perspective.

It differs in two important ways, however. First, it has a long list of features that make it powerful and fun to use. Also, it gives you access to your media files (mp3s, movies, TV shows) from any computer via a web-browser.

So, for example, if you connect a computer to your A/V system (stereo receiver if youre old-school), you can control your A/V system from any computer in the house. In fact, if you are connected to the internet you can control the hive from any computer you can sit yourself in front of.

And if you have a fast enough connection (DSL/cable or better), you can even listen to your music or watch your TV shows and movies from anywhere: a friends house, work, your cell-phone (well, someday very soon)... anywhere.

The hive currently supports mp3-format audio and various flavors of video. The cataloging portion of the mhive system is fully extensible, allowing new parsers and media types to be developed externally and easily plugged into the system.

Audio encoding formats like FLAC, Ogg and AAC are possible... see the development section if youd like to try your hand at creating them yourself.

The hive runs on Windows, Linux, OS X, and any other operating system that supports Java.

Here are some key features of "media hive":

Support for multiple media types

· The hive can catalog and play a growing number of media types, thanks to its plug-in parser architecture, which makes it simple to add new ones. The hive currently comes with support for music, movies, audio books, and TV (via MythTV - if anyone with a TiVo wants to help make a parser for that, let me know).

A playlist system that is highly interactive and focuses on usability

· You can modify the playlist at any time during playback. In addition to simple reordering, the playlist supports plug-in actions, allowing new features to be easily added. And playlists can be loaded and saved, of course.

Extensible stream handlers

· These are configurable components that can modify the media stream prior to consumption by your media player. This can do many things - for example, it allows the hive to "downshift" both audio and video - meaning that it can subtly (or not-so-subtly, depending on your needs) lower the quality of the stream on-the-fly so you can listen to it over a slower network connection without permanently altering your media files.

"Play forever" mode

· In this mode the playlist will select random entries from the catalog and play them continuously. This is not "random" mode - the playlist wont repeat until the catalog has been exhausted.

A skinnable web-based user interface

· Its easy to create a new look-and-feel for the hive. Take a look at the development section for instructions on creating mhive skins. The practical application of this is that the hive can be used from a wide variety of devices - TV-based media centers, mobile phones, etc. Even better, the hive can look just the way you want.

Support for all the popular browsers

· The skins supplied with the mhive system support most popular browsers, including IE (6.0+), Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, and Safari.

Multi-user capabilities

· You can give anyone you like access to your media collection. Or not.

A powerful media catalog manager

· Like the playlist aspect of the system, catalog navigation is streamlined and highly-usable. Hierarchical media types - mp3s for example, where an artist will contain multiple albums, and albums will contain multiple songs - are efficiently displayed and easy to navigate. This is subject to the design of the skin, of course - sometimes efficiency can be sacrificed for fun.

Support for all major operating systems

· The mhive system is implemented in Java, allowing it to run any platform that has a Java Virtual Machine implementation.

A simple installation process

· The hive does not have any external dependencies - not databases, not anything. For the layperson, this simply means that you can download it and run it without a complicated install, and without installing any other software. It can be removed by simply deleting its directory. And it doesnt install anything surreptitiously.

The ability to control your media player remotely

· In normal mode the hive will run your media player when you press play. If you wish, you may instead have the hive to start a media player that resides on another computer. This is useful if you have multiple computers in your home that will control the hive. Another example would be using a mobile phone as a remote-control; you would want access to the catalog from the phone even though it wont be playing the media directly.

Location-based user-settings management

· Settings can be "bound" to the IP address that the browser is connecting from, allowing individual physical locations to have unique settigns. The practical upshot of this is that you can configure skins on a per-location basis if you wish, allowing the TV in your media room to automatically use a skin that is easy to read, your desktop to use a skin that displays a lot of information, and your moble phone to use a skin that is designed just for it.

media-box is a program to watch all kind of multimedia files using a computer.

It suports playing DVD video, VideoCD, various movie files, Audio CD, various music files and watching various still pictures.

Main goal of this project is to have a dedicated computer in your living room by replacing your Hi-Fi component (DVD-player, CD-player). media-box runs in a linux environment so the need for computer power is very low.

Prefered system is a computer with at least 466MHz Celeron with 128MB of ram. Disk space is minimal, it works on 1GB partition but it can sure fit on a partition of 150MB or even less.

As it considers the sound output it is considered to have a sound card with digital out capabilities, so you can easily connect your computer with a dedicated external Dolby Digital receiver, but this is optional.

Graphics card should have a TV-Out feature, so you can watch your media content on TV. For getting the remote control over the whole program, you should make a hardware receiver or you can even buy one. Just make sure it is lirc compatible.

Software used to make this hardware work:

· debian - linux distribution
· xine-lib - library to play media content
· ati.2 - ATI drivers for XFree86 4.2.1 - to get TVOut working
· alsa - SB Live! drivers to get digital out sound
· lirc - remote control software



Whats New in This Release:

· created upgrade script so on pressing n in main window will start an upgrade
· fixed start.sh script to use the /media-box/XF86Config-4 file
· size of screen is now calculated from the width and height of the back.jpg picture (was fixed to 800x600) - beware tvout works only on 800x600.
· fixed background of movie so it is black now. Subtitles of new xine lib displayed background image.
· added new types of files to play (based on extension)
- audio
- aac
- mp4

RJBs Digital Media Center is a music player.

RJBs Digital Music Center is designed to run on dedicated hardware. Because of this. It running as root. Very dangerous. Other than grabbing the X display and calling stop and halt scripts. It should be able to run as a non-root user. I will look into this on future releases.

Install steps:

(1) Install Nvidia Graphics Card.
(2) Plug X10 or IRMan control module into Com1.
(3) Connect Computer to Television

(6) Identify or Create a directory for your Media files.
mkdir /usr/local/Media
Would be a good choice. The install script will ask and expect this path to exist. It will create a symbolic link to it. Also create symbolic link inside to for Cdrom to /mnt/cdrom

(7) As root UnZip/Tar the DMC release in /usr/local
cd /usr/local
tar zxvf dmc-releaseV2.0.tgz.tgz

(8) If your System is a HP DEC then you need to copy from the original HP disk the binary decvfdcmd.
cp /opt/odin/dec/bin/decvfdcmd /tmp
This binary controls the front LCD display.
The install script will ask for this path.
