The first is the source code of this project; the second file contains some media files coded in various formats, useful to test Eclipse Media Player.</p>
<p>The development was interrupted in the January 2007; in the last days some small changes have been made to fix few bugs and to improve the "Eclipse Media Player Tester" view. The file contains the source now (November 2009) in the CVS.</p>
<p>Some notes on Eclipse Media Player:</p>
<p>* 2 players are embedded: OLE and Java Media Framework</p>
<p>* The OLE player embeds Windows Media Player: it can play everything that Windows Media Player can</p>
<p>* The JMF player (Java Media Framework) can play very few kinds of videos and audio (refer to <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html\" rel="nofollow">http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html\</a>). JMF is really old and not updated from Sun since a lot of time, native (and most of all newer) libraries should be introduced. If you want to test the player functions and you don't one which file to use, the cinepak.avi video in the samples directory can be played for sure from JMF <br />
* You can use the "Eclipse Media Player Tester" view to test some of the plug-in functions<br />
* For a complete list of the functions implemented, please refer to the interfaces eclipsemp.player.Player and eclipsemp.player.select.Selectable and the class eclipsemp.player.select.Selection</p>
<p>* There are some known issues with the OLE player: in some cases Windows Media Player could not be loaded, some versions of WMP could not work fine. If this happens you should use the JMF instead of the OLE player; to prevent OLEPlayer to be loaded look at the comment at eclipsemp.player.createPlayer(parent): it's just matter of commenting a line.</p>
<p>* Importing the source in eclipse, missing references to the OS specific SWT library could create problems, please check them.<br />
* Using the plug-in not in Windows the eclipsemp.player.OLEPlayer class will have errors (because the OLE classes can't be found in the OS specific SWT library). Despite these errors, the plug-in will work fine: the OLEPlayer class won't be loaded.</p>
<p>In the source you can also find a second plug-in: Eclipse Media Annotations. It can be used to generate semantic annotations of media opened with Eclipse Media Player. The Rhizomik MPEG-7 ontology and sesame library are used.<br />
Some notes on Eclipse Media Annotation:</p>
<p>* Eclipse Media Annotation permits to annotate audio e video intervals, video frames and video still regions.</p>
<p>* You can use the "Media Annotations Tester" and the "MediaAnnotations" views to try this plug-in: the first permits to load a media file and shows an example of the functions avaible, with the second new annotations can be created. The "Media Annotations Tester" is just an example of a possible use: it doesn't use a lot of the functions of this plug-in. </p>
<p>* A JUnit Plug-in Tes is availablet: mpeg7TestCase.MediaQueryTestCase.</p>
<p>* Use the eclipsemediaannotations.MediaQuery class to interrogate the annotations created<br />
* For a complete list of the functions implemented, please refer to the classes in the eclipsemediaannotations package.</p>
<p>One last note: <br />
* all the files of Eclipse Media Player and Eclipse Media Annotations are under the GPL license</p></div>
