General Ideas

  • Kate to HTML & CSS overlay library in javascript.
  • Proof of concept liboggplay-based media patch for Google's Chrome browser.
  • mod_duration apache module to generate X-Content-Duration headers for Ogg files.
  • Get skeleton patches upstream so players stop choking on it.

Detailed Project Descriptions

These ideas were suggested by various members of the developer community as projects that would be beneficial and which we feel we can mentor. Students should feel free to select one of these, develop a variation, or propose their own ideas. Here, ideally.

Proof of Concept liboggplay (html5 video) support in Chrome Browser

This project would focus on creating a patch for basic liboggplay support into chrome. This project would only need to be a proof of concept with the end result being some frames decoded in the browser. Buffering, and full html5 video feature set support would not need to be addressed.
