Greetings videobloggers, For the last seven (almost eight now!) months, I've been developing a desktop media aggregator (aka videoblog downloader/player). I'm happy to announce that the first public beta of I/ON is out, and its available for MacOS X and Windows XP, as a free download here: http://openvision.tv. You don't even have to give us your email address to get it! I/ON is also the reason that the last entry to my own personal videoblog was over two months ago (argh!). In light of that, I have just posted a new video where I discuss I/ON with my collaborator, Jon Oakes. You can watch that here, if you'd like: http://openvision.tv/itcamefrombrooklyn As I said before, I/ON is available for free, and its also licensed under the GNU Public License, which means its open-source. I really wouldn't have been able to accomplish this work without the benefit of open-source, so we figured why not give something back? A quick set of I/ON features for you, while you're considering whether or not its worth your time to download:
As an aside for developer geeks, the whole app is written in Java, developed in Eclipse, and utilizes the amazing Quicktime for Java API. On Windows, we also use JNI to access Windows Media Player and Flash controls. I/ON also includes the pluggable Java Media Framework, which allows us to (eventually) run on Linux while also supporting things like OGG VORBIS and FFMPEG plugins. Source will be released very soon either through Jave.net or Sourceforge (as soon as I get my act together).We hope users and developers alike will benefit from the work we've done. There are so many ways that I/ON could be used, specifically other than just on a desktop, so we're excited to see what happens. I look forward to hearing from all or any your questions, concerns, or feedback- I'm all ears (and eyes, too, of course).
