Sure, but then you need a multi-process sandbox, and it's not easy to do. And the performance is not easy to obtain.

But then you need to copy the memory from the decoder to the video output or you get back to the same problem to work-on.

> Yes, I meant Linux The demo is on Windows. The goal is to do a sandbox that works on most OSes. And, it will not solve the decoder issue, since it is on the decoding side, which still has access to the GPU/Aout and the kernel. &gt

Look at FFmpeg and all the multimedia libraries and you will be horrified.

Ha, the famous sandboxing remark. I wish it was that simple! So, let me share some light on the sandboxing for multimedia (I work on VLC). If you sandbox an application like VLC, in the current way of doing sandboxing, which we've don

How can we help? Can we help coding?

Don't take me badly, Gitlab is the best thing around. We've tested many solutions... (too many) It's just that I really want to quit using trac, who is slow and not integrated with the rest of the infrastructure.

We've been using gitlab for most VideoLAN projects, and are moving towards it for all of them (including vlc and x264). A lot of things are great, and going in the right direction, but the issues tracker is really lacking. The lack of

Yes, please! We have enough playlists formats to support already (and most of them are half-baked/half-broken already). There is no good reason to not reuse and extend xspf. (Last time I counted 16 major playlists formats in VLC...)

Well, it is difficult, because for a media player, you need to have a correct video stack, (which means X11, DRI, mesa, OpenGL etc...) and a correct audio stack (which means pulseaudio) and those are quite hard to ship in a cross platform w

Hey x0f1a, Just laziness from my side, I have to admit. It is just a preview, so I thought one build using 32bits is fine for everyone, it's not an everyday build. The nightly builds are still both 32 and 64bits and will work fine, as

It works totally fine on Linux, without any issue. We just don't provide Linux binaries, except Ubuntu Snaps, because it is extremely difficult to do. Just pull the code from the repo and you'll get that :)
