WinCE Port of VLC
Abstract
The VLC media player has been port to many different platforms, but it lacks Windows CE support since some versions. This project aims at making VLC work on a Windows CE platform, with a few features:
- RTSP
- H264
- Snapshots
- Playlist
- Rebuild of interface to adapt it to small screens
Calendar
May 26 : Beginning of SoC
May 27 : Beginning of holidays
June 23 : Final exams
June 25 : What is done so far: the LibVLC and nearly all modules are compiled. I run some tests on LibVLC, to make sure that it will look good. I've begun the cross compilation of libs, like ffmpeg. The graphical interface is running, but is uglier than anyone could imagine. Working on VLC is fun, and I enjoy my summer :)
July 14 : Mid-term evaluations deadline
September 1 : Final evaluation deadline
September 15 : Starting the third year at the "Ecole Centrale de Lille"
TODO list
| What | WHAT!? | When | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Learning | Read materials about Windows CE, subtle things, little bit of hacking | May-June | In progress |
| Compilation process | Design an easy compilation, deployment, debugging process, and make a doc about it | May-June | In progress |
| Contribs | Build a contrib package for Windows CE | All Summer long | In progress |
| Naked VLC | Build a minimalistic VLC, with an ugly interface and very few libraries | May, June | In progress |
| Adding features | Add one feature, release a version; add one feature, release a version; make a cup of coffee; add one feature, release a version | All Summer long | not started |
| Interfaces | Write a nice looking and intuitive interface for phones, and one for other types of Windows CE devices | July | not started |
| Cleaning the code | Fixes, finish the interface, hoping there are no crash, resetting my phone | August | not started |
| Let's play | Add funny features: making a Windows CE streaming server, add support of Camera, GPS | August(if I have enough time) | not started |
| Build bot | Add the Windows CE port to buildbot | September | not started |
| Community | Develop for VLC, and not only on Windows CE | Post GSoC | In progress |
Contrib package
Actual state of the contrib package for VLC on Windows CE:
- libiconv
- ffmpeg
What will be used
This is the list of the tools that will be used to achieve this project:
- Cygwin, a Linux-like environment for Windows
- CeGCC, a cross-compiler for Windows CE based devices
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 as IDE
- Microsoft Device Emulator, an emulator for Windows CE and Windows Mobile devices
- a HTC P3600 Trinity, for the tests on real hardware
