I have been successful at cross compiling VLC for the N770.  Though
its not for the faint of heart.  Shortly I will post some instructions
on how to do this, or maybe I will redo it for Maemo 2.0... .  There
is someone that has some instructions for cross compiling VLC 0.7 I
believe here:

http://n770galaxy.blogspot.com/

Then you can easily take the plung into 0.8.4a ;-)

As well if you search the mailing lists people have had success with
mplayer using the Zaurus packages.

You can even stream to mplayer using something like this.
Assuming you have VLC streaming some video file on another machine to
the location http://192.168.66.199:8001/blah.avi

/var/lib/install/usr/bin/wget http://192.168.66.199:8001/blah.avi -O -
| mplayer -cache 8192 -



Sorry I could elaborate further on any of these since I am getting
ready for a presentation to a local LUG that I attend.  The
presentation will be on the 770 of course... ;-)

Hi folks,

I'm getting started with nokia 770 and maemo programming. Well, I need to
write a lightweight video player for 770. The idea is to create a player for
reproducing different kinds of streams of audio/video. I've tried to use the
770's video player, but I was not able to reproduce my mms stream. I've also
tried to compile VLC for 770, but it was taking me a lot of time and I
aborted this idea. So I tried to compile some small examples of the live555
api, and they do worked fine with 770, but for audio only, because the
examples have not a visual interface implemented for reproducing videos.

Well, instead of creating a new video player from scratch, is there any way
of extending the 770's video player? is there some document where I can
start reading for doing this? The idea is to utilize the 770's video player
interface itself and just implement the stream reception module.

I've searched the maemo site and didn't find any manual in this sense.

Thanks in advance!

Loreno
