. But even in the latter more optimistic scenario, we should expect quite nasty usability problems and bugs.Also, I would not be surprised that the DSP would have some further limitations of its own.
Last, if the DSP can decode it, then gstreamer can decode. Then I don't know if there is much added value for DSP on Mplayer or VLC. Then it might be difficult to find a motivated, skilled, and free enough person to do the work

I'm sorry, I normally consider myself pretty tech-savvy, but could someone explain what "access arbitration" is, how it relates to this discussion and what it has to do with my future N900 dying in a fire?

Perhaps this is changing, however. I notice that gstreamer now has an http sink available, although I haven't attempted to use it yet...

well the thing about vlc is that you can stream any media
even iptv or satellite tv to your device and transcode it on its way before it hits the device with udp,http,rstp or whatever you like
and that is what is rocking vlc that you can stream in anyway you like

zaheerm: flumotion will be a killer app for Maemo. Looking forward to seeing your work.

I've gotten some flv's to play after getting the extra codec package, but I still have videos that don't play. And some were downloaded using my various Symbian devices, and they played just fine. But my device has been acting funny, so maybe it was the firmware. I'm reflashing as we speak. Hope it works out ok.

All times are GMT. The time now is 09:50.
The dying in a fire it more a metaphore of overdriving the DSP which might led to a catastrophic chip failure. In the past very extreme failures of chips have been the chip literal catching on fire. It's very doubtful the N900 could literally get that hot. Well unless the LION battery went kablooey.
