I/ON Media Player Framework


Evening, everyone. I just wanted to let you all know about some open-source code that is now available here: http://ion.dev.java.net.

This code comes from the I/ON Internet Video Console application available through our website at: http://openvision.tv
I/ON ("eye-on") combines RSS aggregation with media management and playback to create a very compelling way to find and watch video on the web - in other words, it does videoblogging, podcasting, and bit torrent.  Think of I/ON as the open-source, Java-based alternative to iTunes, FireAnt, iPodderX, or any of the other "-casting" or "-catcher" apps out there.

I/ON was released under the GNU Public License, and we've been working to get all the code out to developers like you in useful modules. Well, we've finally some of the code that might be useful to some of you on this list in what we call the...(are you ready?)...."The I/ON Media Player Framework"! I know its not a very exciting name, but what it enables is. In short, the MPF wraps Quicktime for Java, Java Media Framework, and, on Windows, Windows Media Player, and Macromedia Flash Player. It allows you to call one simple API, and in return you get back a Swing JPanel with a unified controller bar.

You can get the code through our Java.net project using CVS, or just download the distribution ZIP from the "Documents & Files" section the site. Take a look at the "MediaTest.java" sample file and you'll see how easy it is to use!

Just like the rest of I/ON, this code is available now under the GPL license. So feel free to take the code, change it, and use it, just as long as you contribute your work back out to the world for the general good of humanity. We would also be very grateful to have developers join our project and contribute their own code, recommendations, and feedback. This is still an in-progress effort, but we really do want to make I/ON and the Media Player Framework a great solution for Java developers and end-users around the world.

Thanks, and please contact me if you have any questions.

+Nathan
