It eats huge amounts of RAM, causing stalls when huge amounts of unused pages get swapped out.

hey so i played aroud with the streaming of the internal player and this is what i got so far:

i installed "Decoders Support 0.1" from extras-testing
and then i setup vlc on my computer to stream a movie with this

then i got on my n900 and went to a site where i uploaded a video.m3u that contained http://192.168.1.130:8080 and that tricked the internal player to pickup the mpeg2 stream and start buffering

now the quality was not something to be proud of but it worked! with a bit of lag

but one thing that stroke my mind was.... is the DSP in use?
so i did a top and this is the results

I havent figured out how to minimize the stream so i can check the preformance on browser, widgets ect.
but from what i can see from the top there is no cpu left to that

There already is a great solution for watching streaming vids from your PC/media-server!

There is no mpeg2 dsp decoder provided by Nokia on the N900. However there are dsp implementations on the OMAP3 for MPEG2.

I put the stock flumotion in extras-devel. There is still a bit of work for it to stream something useful from the device but we at least have a package available.
