Witty CD Player is a cd player program that uses cdda2wav for software buffering.

I started having problems with my CD-ROM drive skipping badly on every audio track for several months. At the same time, I wanted to try my hand at GTK. So, I decided to write the "The Witty CD Player." (The name is a play on my last name The Witty CD Player uses the cdda2wav program to perform oversampling to account for the skips.

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

FlowPlayer project is a video player for Flash Video in FLV format. The UI is clean and simple.
The player is easy to configure and embed into your home page, site, or blog.
FlowPlayer.swf is a player that is ready to be used out-of-the box. FlowPlayer.html is an example of Web page that uses it. The name of the video file to be loaded by the player is specified in html page in the < object > tags flashvars attribute. This attribute is there in two places (both in < objec t> and < embed > tags) to maximize the number of supported Web browsers.
By default, the player loads the video file from the same location as it loads FlowPlayer.swf. The name of this variable is videoFile and the value should be the name of the video file with or without an extension.
There is also a way to specify a complete URL. This is done using the baseURL variable. When this mechanism is used the video files and FlowPlayer.swf may reside in different locations within the Web server or even in different servers.
autoPlay variable is used to specify whether playback should start immediately when the player has been loaded into the Web browser. Legal values for this parameter are true and false.
Please refer to FlowPlayer.html for descriptions of all HTML parameters used to control the player.
Enhancements:
- New FlowPlayer Skinning Kit to make skinning the player better than ever before.
- There is a new package in the downloads for this.
- Added all dependencies to the source distribution package and now its easier for new developers to start hacking.
- Fixes: VideoHeight does not have any effect in full screen mode any more, now resizes to fit the full area.
- Configured progress bar, buffering bar etc. colors were ignored and now work as espected.

MPEG4IP provides an end-to-end system to explore streaming multimedia. The package includes many existing open source packages and the "glue" to integrate them together. This is a tool for streaming video and audio that is standards-oriented and free from proprietary protocols and extensions.

Provided are a live MPEG-4/H.261/MPEG-2/H.263 MP3/AAC/AMR broadcaster and file recorder, command line utilities such as an MP4 file creator and hinter, and an player that can both stream and playback from local file.

Our development is focused on the Linux platform, and has been ported to Windows, Solaris, FreeBSD, BSD/OS and Mac OS X, but it should be relatively straight-forward to use on other platforms. Many of the included packages are multi-platform already. Mp4live only works on Linux.

This code is not intended for end users, and does not contain executables. Please read all the legal information to determine if it is suitable for you.

Volity::Player is a Perl module for Volity players, from a referees perspective.

An object of this class represents a Volity player present at a table. The referee creates one of these objects for every player who comes to that refs table. The player might not actually play the game (i.e. sit in a seat), but is nonetheless recognized by the referee as a potential game player and table presence.

In certain circumstances a ref may choose to keep an object for a given player persistent, even after that player leaves the table, while other times the players departure results in the objects destruction. Generally, it just does the right thing.

USAGE

You should never need to create or destroy player objects yourself; the referee object takes care of that. However, there are a number of methods defined by Volity::Referee and Volity::Seat that return player objects, so you may find yourself interacting with them anyway.

Volity::Game subclasses refer to seats more often than to individual players, since most game interaction takes place at the seat level.
