Folks,
A fine blog post from Iain MacPhail regarding his recent work on the
LiveCode Player Object:
Dang!
I was really hoping this was going to work on linux.
I'm really curious what made you think that that was at all likely to
happen.
Possibly it was the part in the blog post that said "a new version of
the LiveCode player object has been created that doesn’t directly call
the underlying system calls that are specific to one implementation or
another"... but yeah, just wishful thinking on my part.
Ah. Yes, there's quite a difference between creating an abstraction
between per-platform implementations, and actually writing a specific
platform's implementation to use with the abstraction... a difference of
about 90% of the work, probably.
I suspect that if someone was to implement the abstract platform player
class for Linux, they would probably want to use the gstreamer API.
