hi!
i've created a port for the first BETA release of my application called
mediabox - as requested by todd@ after some talk in #openbsd
explanation:
mediabox is my try to create a replacement for freevo and mythtv which
works on openbsd.
mythtv is using v4l (afaik - no chance on openbsd) and freevo is a big
fat thing with a lot of big dependencies (e.g. twisted),
i gave up on get it working on openbsd and decided to write my own
lightweight mediabox, with less dependencies
mediabox is a free (BSD-license), easy to use frontend for multimedia files
mediabox is a so called: home theatre pc platform (htpc)
it has been developed for openbsd, but should work on other systems too
it's written in python with the help of pygame
it's not really finished yet - it misses a lot of features, and iss of
course buggy
if somebody likes to code some python and wants to help me - contact
me/send diffs
status (what iss implemented):
my mediabox is connected via tv-out (sis63xx) to my tv - so i can:
- listen to music: playlists, cd playing
- play movies and dvd: covers and descriptions via imdp-py
- look at images: slideshows/zooming
- do configuration: complete configuration via menu
todo:
add feature: rip dvd
add feature: rip audio-cd
maybe add joystick support and support for games
add feature: news-reader
and of course one main thing: view and record tv needs to be implemented
my plan is to add tv capturing via bsdav-toolkit from jakemsr@
so again: i could need some help, if somebody is interested in helping
me, contact me.
port is attached and downloadable here:
