[lazarus] [TV Chip set conversion] X Extensions ?

[Shane Miller]

I have been recently looking into Tivo and such things and have found
them to be a bit expensive at this point.  So, I would be interested in
knowing what needed converting as I would love to build a PC that could
use the Gemstar Guide+ or other "TVGuide" like item and allow you to
record shows, pause live TV, etc.

Maybe we could start a thread under Lazarus for those interested in this
subject and for those interested in assisting with the conversion and
creation of components.

err I'll answer both in one.. bttv is Brooktree based tv chip sets(ala
TV cards). so a BTTV panel would be a panel for TV capture/display.

Since these sorts of things are usually OS/Hardware specific, this sort
of code should be added to the proposed multimedia extensions if
possible. We will want to figure out how to layout this sort of stuff
but to begin with if you want to try and code this sort of stuff you
can, but you will want to port the headers, probably wrap nice
components around them and so forth.Like SDL, though could probably use
the JEDI ones. V4L and V4L2, DX, would have to be ported, OpenGL is
available of course. So basically it comes down to. This stuff doesn't
belong in the LCL, but in some sort of MCL(Multimedia Component
Library). which you are welcome to work on, but which is not really a
priority.
