Hi Roland, just to explain Christian's Idea a bit: the videoplayer will use the same backend code as Lumiera, and it creates a similar situation as we expect to have in the App: there you may have background rendering going on, maybe another render job running, and at the same time you may want to watch a video in the viewer and scrub through the composer/timeline (which will fetch background-rendered frames and maybe some additional frames). Building a videoplayer allowes to do stress-tests on the backend code, which needs to get all this frame-fetching and delivering right and performant. The focus is not so much on the I/O throughput, which, of course much depends on your hardware and underlying system. For example, playing several HDV videos in paralel requires that your disk/IO/system can get quite a lot of data in very fast. Further, it requires that you have a lot of processing power "on board" for doing the decoding. But, /assumed you do have theses capabilities/, the goal is to write code able to deal with organizing all those video frames efficiently -- and this is what the video player test app is aiming at.
