Original commit message from CVS: RTjpeg plugin with several elements. It's currently a skeleton, doing no work at all. Need to have a video display element, some kind of simulation source (read from .ppm, a la what I do at work to solve the exact same problem), raw video types, metadata structs, etc. The RTjpeg.[ch] code is taken from a just-downloaded copy from Justin's site, with some fixes (#include <asm/types.h> to get __u64,etc). Once the aforementioned infrastructure is in place, the elements can actually be set up to do the encode/decode, and we'll have our first functioning video codec in place. ;-)
This is gnome-streamer, a framework for streaming media in GNOME. The fundamental design comes from the video pipeline at Oregon Graduate Institute, as well as some ideas from DirectX. It's based on plug-ins that will provide the various codec and other functionality. The interface hopefully is generic enough for various companies (ahem, Apple) to release binary codecs for Linux, until such time as they get a clue and release the source.
