Hi Jacob,
Just to go a little further on your idea..
Why don't create a UMPC usable mobile player. You can use existing
technology's and software.
I am wishing for somebody to fix totem to only use gtk libs and
gstreamer libs, and to improve to gui a bit to render better on smaller
screens.
Al the building blocks are there it would be great for the complete
community if you can fix these issues and create a nice and molecular
base platform that use totem and gstreamer.
Kind regards,
Jelle de Jong
