2. Project Summary
2.1. Project Description:
Moovida is a cross-platform media center. You can watch movies, listen
to music and view pictures in Moovida.
The Moovida application was previously called Elisa, and was previously
described in case LSARC 2008/713. This case details the minor changes
associated with this rebranding.
4. Technical Description:
4.1. Details:
Moovida has the following changes compared to elisa:
- The binary and manpage has changed from "elisa" to "moovida".
- The UI has been redesigned significantly, though the functionalities
are largely the same.
- Moovida is now built with Python 2.6 rather than Python 2.4.
- Now the plugins are delivered in a separate package. This is needed
because the plugins now require that the core application be
installed in order to build. So, separating the plugins into a
separate package facilitates building moovida and the plugins.
- The package name has changed from SUNWgnome-media-center to
SUNWmoovida and SUNWmoovida-plugins. This naming is more clear
and more correct, since Moovida (and elisa) are Fluendo products
and not provided by the GNOME community.
A sidenote, when the coherence module (LSARC 2009/199) integrates into
build 124, the Moovida coherence plugin will become enabled. This
is not a dependency since Moovida checks at runtime if coherence
is available and enables the plugin if so.

4.3. Doc Impact:

SUNWmoovida, SUNWmoovida-plugins
4.5. Dependencies:
LSARC 2008/713 elisa, elisa-plugins-good, elisa-plugins-bad
4.6. L10N Impact:
The Desktop team and the G11N team are working together to evaluate and
provide I18N/L10N support.
4.7. Security Impact:
Moovida makes use of SSL for HTTPS support. The Python-Twisted web
module and Python-Twisted-Web2 both are used by Moovida and both also
use OpenSSL for HTTPS support.
Moovida has an AMP plugin which makes use of Python-Twisted AMP module
which uses OpenSSL for its protocol. More information can be found
about this in the Twisted documentation. Refer here:
