VLC4OSGI is based on VLC and JVLC. VLC is one of the more stable, reliable and fast (if not the most) multimedia players out there. JVLC are the Java bindings to the VLC native code. VLC4OSGi has packaged and prepared these projects to work within the special conditions of OSGi.In addition, some modifications of the original VLC code in C had to be done to support multi player mode.
Both projects have been bundled in a .jar file to allow their use in an OSGi framework. T`he project currently only works for r4 compliant OSGi frameworks. They have been tested with Felix and Equinox.
You can build VLC's native part with the makefiles provided in the native subfolder of the CVS tree, but it's recommended that you download already generated bundles at the download section of this website, since the port of VLC to OSGi can be tricky.
VLC4OSGi ships with VLC 0.8.6, and JVLC 0.0.9.
In the links bar located at the left of this text you'll find links pointing to the VLC and JVLC websites.
