Last week's weekly meeting minutes:https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Middleware/Multimedia/Notes/2011-09-13
Highlights: On 1109 progress is being made: - LJT is well on its way for inclusion to Oneiric, - UCM has made a release, - ARM Speex is in the works
Also omapdrm (for UMM) is now available through Jesse Barker's git tree. NEON optimization Forum material is already consolidated in the wiki, OpenMAX survey has been presented to OpenMAX IL WG meeting.
Test content work is progressing - need to check the CC attribution in the media samples package.
Also x264 has presented the results of the community work on optimizing via parameters x264 for video conferencing (details in the wiki https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Middleware/Multimedia/Specs/1111/Codec...).
Brainstorming over the next quarter possible threads of work (in no particular order)
-libpng optimization - better video rendering integration in UI - Audio DTS decoding - could be tricky, involves legal aspects which need to be carefully looked at - Compressed data sound support (as in http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2011/ocw/proposals/633) - Realvideo on ARM (popular on countries like China) - needs optimization for eg 720p playback (VGA is ok) - Other possibilities: + armv6 optimisations for vp8 in libav + 10-bit h264 optimisation needed in libav (low prio) ?
Best regards,
