Multimedia Project Overview#

Welcome to the QNX Multimedia project. Our team develops software that lets you integrate media devices and content easily so that you can play audio, video, and photos from them with as little work as possible.

The main features that the software provides are:

• Finding devices that are plugged into the system (iPod, CD Changers, USB sticks, etc)
• Synchronizing the content from those devices to a database so that you can browse them with advanced user interfaces
• Play the content on those devices
• Copying the content from those devices to local storage like a hard drive

Like other groups in QNX our focus is embedded so we've paid attention to memory and CPU usage as well allowing you to integrate hardware acceleration like DSPs. There are lots of extensible points in the software to add codecs, playlist parsing plugins, metadata source plugins, etc. Our development environment is shared with you on this site, you even have access to the source code where you can find all these extensible points.

Downloads#

This section explains what you can download, and where you can find it.

Source Code#

For instructions on how to download and build the source code, see the Multimedia Source Guide.

Milestone Binary Downloads#

You can download our milestone builds here. Unfortunately in the world of multimedia there are lots of licenses that we have to abide by so we can't share with you all the different binaries unless you sign agreements with those who license out that technology. If you would like to have access to those additional packages, please contact the Sales department at QNX to make the request.
