From an API perspective, full screen should be possible by simply setting the video QWidget to full screen. However, this may not perform very well at the current time.

As for “very good” quality, I’m not sure. Certainly the Theora codec can look beautiful in an ogg stream, but I don’t know what constraints RTP/UDP imposes on quality.

Actually, I’d wish to run a bot to broadcast media files with Jingle - similarly to the UCT IPtv Streaming Server (notice that it allows to launch a video by “calling” a SIP URI), and use Psi as a simple media player, similarly to the UCT IMS Client.

I’d also like to control the stream on server-side, and DTMF looks like a good solution for that - yes, with “rewind” also . I’m thinking that there could be an XMPP extension to remote-control (future) Jingle media players, though.

But I realize that the media-control capabilities should be handled mainly by the bot and that PsiMedia would have few to do with them.

BTW, wondering, is/will it be possible to display a full screen ? Also, how is the quality of the video, can it be of very good quality ?

Anyway, I’m following the list and impatient to beta-test Psi implementation.

PsiMedia is meant just for live voice/video chat. I’m not sure how media-controls (rewind? :)) fit into that.

I’d say it will be January before there is anything to test in Psi. The PsiMedia demo app can be tested earlier, of course. If you’re interested in following development, see the Delta mailing list.

BTW, have you considered VCR-like media-control capabilities (e.g.: ‘play’,stop, rewind, etc.) ?

I’ve been thinking that it might be possible to emulate media-control with Jingle DTMF and a keypad (like Jabbin’s one). Although this part would probably be implemented in Psi, perhaps media-control capabilities would be part of PsiMedia.

However, Kopete is welcome to use PsiMedia if they choose to. It is designed to be reusable.

By the way, how does it fit in Kopete Jingle GSoC 2008 project?
