libs vs. apps
by Thorsten Schnebeck on Monday 22/Oct/2001, @08:04

Yes, there are quite some very nice universal players like xine, mplayer...

This is not about "assimilation" something into KDE.
This is about integration into KDE. We need a plugin-like player/arts-object/component also for integration in apps like kpresenter.

So maybe better go with a pool of libs than with one app (?)

Bye

Thorsten

Well, this being Open Source, we can have our cake and eat it too. We can just re-integrate any given codec as an aRts library, and then it should run (theoretically :-) in any app using KParts, including Konqi and KPresenter. Of course, (in KPresenter for example) doing things like making sure movies play at the right time in presentations, grabbing the first and last frame and using them for in and out effects, etc etc, would require special coding, but once that is done, you could swap out the backend for another fairly easily.
