XBMC with FMOD?

Dogo · 2005-01-17 03:19

i'm looking at the fmod cross platform sound system library and wondering if it would be a good replacement for mplayer.

http://www.fmod.org/

i searched the forum and didnt find anything. has this been tried before or does anyone has comments or suggestions ?

i'm also still looking for a good video player that i can combine with fmod

from their download section:

_
xbox, gamecube or playstation 2. write to "support@fmod.org" only if you are a registered microsoft, nintendo or sony console developer.

Quote:# yes that's right, if your product is not intended to make any money, and is not charged for in any way, then you may use fmod in it for free!
# many people use it for free until their commercial product is about to be published. this is a great way to evaluate fmod and see if it suits your needs without any obligations.
# if you want to use it in a commercial product, then please see below for pricing and conditions.

since only official xbox developers are allowed to use it, one can suspect that it's because it's tied with the beloved/hated xdk

nevertheless, it couldnt hurt to ask them

it also includes dolby prologic 2 support which would be nice Big Grin

let's hope they allow you guys to include it.

has anybody sent them an email about this? it would be sweet to see it implemented into xbmc. if they were to give you the source for it even if it was dependent on the xdk it wouldn't matter, would it. i thought that would be the same thing as xbmc, the source is fine, it's illegal once it's compiled, right?

if on of the developers or any other xbmc affliated person could send a nice kind e-mail explaining what xbmc is, that it is legal and that the project could benefit greatly from this.

also make sure to note the current copyright holders and that you can guarantee that xbmc will not go commercial.

from my experience this sort of project are not always nice to gpl developers but considering that this company already has an linux port ready i think that xbmc has a nice change.

it seems to me like an kick ass libary Big Grin

might be intresting to read the developers don't care in what sort of project it is used, those guys actually seems to be quite nice Big Grin

edit 2 //
it support some really nice things like fades (gapless playback! Wink

and eq and 3d sound (would be nice to play with if you have headphones). definly worth to give a try
