Embedded Linux Conference, Cambridge UK

On 26 October 2010, Jean-Paul Saman from M2X talks about porting VLC to TI DaVinci SoC during the Embedded Linux Conference held by CE Linux Forum in Cambridge UK. The slides can be downloaded here [PDF].

The VideoLAN project develops a complete Open Source multimedia playing and streaming solution for multiple platforms. Its main product VLC media player is available on Linux (Debian, OpenSuSE, Fedora, Ubuntu, RHEL, Mandriva, ALTLinux, ArchLinux, etc), MacOS X, *BSD (OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD), Solaris, Windows (2000/2003/XP/Vista).

The VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, mp3, ogg, ...) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols (UDP, RTP, RTSP, MMS, etc). It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.

With popularity of VLC, its openness and its versatility catches the eye of embedded system vendors. Combining VLC and open source with DSP codecs is quite a challenge. This talk will highlight the issues I ran into when porting VLC to a TI DaVinci based platform called Neuros OSDv2.

LinuxTAG 2010

Thursday and Saturday one of the VLMC developer hugo demonstrated the current state of VideoLAN Media Creator (VLMC). He got very good feedback from people and they could not wait to give it a try.

Visitors had all Open Source multimedia projects in one stand. It had FFMPEG, mplayer, Open Graphics, XBMC and VideoLAN (VLC, DVBlast, VLMC, etc) projects. The developers from all these project helped each other during visitor peaks and this created a very good atmosphere. I think the different developers of the projects got to know each other better. I am sure this also results in better cooperation and communication during our normal development work.
