I'd use JNI to call a simple video play/stop/set-file API written in C, or (more likely) send commands to a local socket or talk over a pipe. On my video player, the control program just runs the media player in a child process and talks over a pipe to it, in simple text commands. So the control program can be in any language, in theory. I didn't use Java because I thought it wouldn't fit, to be honest. There's about 10MB free on my 64MB device (32 allocated to video coprocessors, away from Linux; the rest is used by Linux, utils etc.) I found that's actually not enough when streaming from hard disk - because Linux's page allocator can't handle it, playback struggles. So I thought adding Java would make it worse. However, you have 128MB total, which is a lot more room. And you're just streaming video over the network, which works better. -- Jamie _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
