[xine-devel] Library for mms protocol support
|
||||
From: Mathrick <mnews2@wp...> - 2003-12-26 21:04
|
||||
This was already sent once, but got swallowed waiting for moderator's approval:
|
||||
|
||||
(CC'ing gstreamer-devel)
|
||||
|
||||
Hi guys,
|
||||
I want to propose development of library for mms protocol support. Right
|
||||
now, each and every project that wants to support mms is required to
|
||||
implement all of SDP specs itself, due to lack of common library for
|
||||
that. To remedy that, I'd like to start project aimed at providing such
|
||||
a library. The benefits are as usual from using lib:
|
||||
|
||||
- no code duplication
|
||||
- larger userbase, more extensive testing
|
||||
- possible larger developer base
|
||||
- better feature parity between projects
|
||||
- single fix benefits all users
|
||||
etc.
|
||||
|
||||
Availability of such library would also benefit other projects, that may
|
||||
want to support mms, but cannot currently afford developing yet another
|
||||
proprietary implementation, like GStreamer or GnomeVFS, and possibly
|
||||
others.
|
||||
Technically, such a lib would be required to have been LGPL'd, because
|
||||
both GStreamer and Gnome projects are LGPL.
|
||||
It would be the coolest to turn existing xine implementation into
|
||||
library, as it is pretty good one, and also largely independent from
|
||||
xine itself, but I'm aware of your code being GPL, and that you may not
|
||||
want or be able to relicense it as LGPL. Thus, just your cooperation and
|
||||
support will be of great value.
|
||||
I'd like to discuss available possibilities for few days, and then open
|
||||
SF project in about a week or two. Unfortunately, I have finals coming
|
||||
in late January, that may severly limit amount of my free time, but I'll
|
||||
do my best. I look forward to your comments.
|
||||
|
||||
Cheers,
|
||||
Maciej

Sounds like a good idea to me.

I guess you would have to write all people who committed changes to
|
||||
input_mms.c and ask for their permission. Fortunately, these are not
|
||||
too many.

OK, but copyright info contains "xine project" only. Will webcvs be
|
||||
enough to get all the contributors?

you might need to ask "Major MMS" too ;-)

Heh, is there any way to contact him? He seems to be some sort of
|
||||
nameless hero, and that may complicate matters.
|
||||
|
||||
I will send mails asking about relicensing to everyone found on CVS log,
|
||||
and also to the list, in case they don't read their sf mail accounts :).

Sent mail asking for relicensing to the following people:

|
||||
Ewald Snel
|
||||
Guenter Bartsch

[xine-devel] LibMMS continued
|
||||
From: Mathrick <mnews2@wp...> - 2004-02-18 13:06
|
||||
OK, now that libmms has been finally started, there are some things that
|
||||
still need to be resolved. There were few people I haven't been able to
|
||||
contact, namely:
|
||||
|
||||
Stephen Torri
|
||||
Robin Kay
|
||||
|
||||
I'll be grateful if someone could give me working way of contacting
|
||||
them, I hope this list will be enough :) (Robin's mailbox doesn't seem
|
||||
to like either my ISP or Sourceforge alias, accusing them of spamming
|
||||
incidents).
|
||||
All others I asked agreed for relicensing (thanks guys! :D).
|
||||
|
||||
Now, for current issues:
|
||||
We're currently cleaning source up to make it independent of xine-lib,
|
||||
however mms.c includes demuxers/asfheader.h for some needed ASF defines.
|
||||
My question is: is it okay for us to just copy it over under LGPL and
|
||||
change accordingly? Most of it is taken almost verbatim from specs
|
||||
anyway, I'm just not particularly fond of redoing all that work,
|
||||
byteswapping macros were already stupid enough ;).
|
||||
That's all for now, I will ask more if need arises.
|
||||
|
||||
Cheers,
|
||||
Maciej
