The next generation specification is in the code :) By rewriting the core for Freevo 2.0 and by creating the kaa modules we have some discussion at freevo-devel and on irc, write some code, talk about it again and so on. There is no design doc. Dischi -- Reality is a just temporary illusion caused by a lack of alcohol in the bloodstream. pgprbaJWiTnhJ.pgp Description: PGP signature - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

It's ok, because what we ended up with was much better, and much more flexible. The main limitation of using mplayer-as-a-platform is mplayer itself: lack of DVD menus, no good deinterlacers/pulldown suitable for realtime viewing, and its inability to adjust the filter chain dynamically prevented some important features like being able to go from a fullscreen video to the menus with the video playing in a thumbnail. The prototype Chandan Pitta did (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4w9fkXYjOk) would not be possible using my original mplayer idea for MeBox. The architecture we have now allows for all this. You can take a running video and add it to a canvas and apply any effects you can apply to any other canvas object, including color filters, transparency, animation, etc. And because we're not tied inextricably to a given player, we can support (and in fact tend to prefer) Xine, because of its superior deinterlacers/pullup support and DVD menus, audio visualization, etc. Cheers, Jason. - Take Surveys.

Ok, have you guys ever written what would be the best multimedia box for you... taking into account your experience, mythtv/vdr/freevo and other state of the arts. That wouldn't be bad as a starting point for next freevo generation specification, no ? Jason, MeBox looked very promising.

Kaa is the media framework built primarily by Dischi and myself used for writing apps like Freevo. Much of Kaa's design was influenced from my experiments with the mplayer-as-a-platform idea but that's fundamentally not the direction Kaa takes. Agreed that it looks very cool and promising. :) - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

What the video mentioned on the mainpage about then?

It could be possible. He might be talking about MeBox. MPlayer-as-a-platform was the initial approach I was going to take for MeBox and I had prototyped it. It is viable in some ways, but looking at the bigger picture it was too problematic. So we will not be taking that route for Freevo (nor will I be taking that route for MeBox, should I ever actually write it :)) Jason. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

The real new feature of 2.0 is a complete rewrite of the core. There are close to no new features compared to teh current 1.7 release.

Hello all, Would you be kind to point me some URL detailing (new) features of Freevo *2.0* ? Did I completly missed something from the wiki ? I read some interview on http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2005/01/27/freevo.html Also I browsed a side project from the author of Freevo using mplayer as a platform rather than an helper... but what is actually in 2.0 ?
