Humm, well, then I'll wait the end of May before starting this project. I hope it will be available in time, I can't wait too long. Would it be a big change starting with kaa.canvas objects as a few place holders and switch later to kaa.candy when it's available ? >>There would also be some pages to see the player's statistics (disk >>space usage, display some logs, system's information, etc...). >> >>It should also be able to play with different outputs: vga, hdmi, >>s-video.

It's mainly for playback, but as I said, I'd like to have some dynamic text positionning over the video (maybe this should be done directly with kaa.canvas/candy). I read the documentation about kaa.base, it seems to provide all the necessary tools for handling events and orchestring the whole thing. kaa.metadata is always handy to extract info from files. I guess kaa.display is where the output (to the screen) is handled. All these X11, (D)FB, OpenGL, SDL and pygame words are still dark for me as I'm only familiar with linux's command line. The RPC part will probably useful for me as well as the player will communicate with a server for playlist and content management and updates. All that "kaa" sounds good. :) Regards, -- Alexandre CONRAD ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
