So by accident I was looking through Rasterman’s blog and found out that he has been developing a menu system for movie playback using the E17 libraries.
I downloaded the demo movie and was fairly impressed with the nice effects. So off I go to download the thing to evaluate the good and bad things about it. It turns out to be pretty snappy on my machine but also really buggy. It is probably at the same stage bug wise as mms was 2-3 years ago. I think the lesson I learned was that you can do some cool stuff with gstreamer and that using the E17 could be cool, so I’m definitely going to look into that.
Other than that it was a cool tech demo of some of the things E17 is capable of and it that regard it did a fantastic job.
