WEBM/VP8 support in Moovida 2.0.0.10

May 20th, 2010

Yay, thanks to the great work from Sebastian Dröge I have been able to integrate support for VP8 in OGG/QT/AVI/MKV and finally WEBM files into Moovida 2.0.0.10.

We already have a working OGG/VP8/Vorbis live stream with Flumotion streaming server and it works in Moovida, I am impatient to see the streaming happen with WEBM through the HTML5 tags.

That was a serious “course contre la montre” but we are definitely one of the first (maybe “the” first) mass market available media player to play that content format.

Go Moovida ! ;-)

Some news about what’s going on at Fluendo

March 16th, 2010

This week we released the Fluendo DVD player version 1.0.9, expanding our cross platform support with Microsoft Windows. We now have full support for Linux, OpenSolaris and all flavors of Windows from XP and up.

We also released the Fluendo Media Center which is an all in one product containing our media center UI from the Moovida project combined with Fluendo codecs (including Dolby Digital) and the Fluendo DVD player engine. We currently only support Linux but we will add Windows support next week.

Next week you will also see a new release of the Fluendo codecs bundle (version 11) that will feature VDPAU hardware decoding support (tested on NVidia cards, including ION and some VIA chipsets) plus the long awaited return of the excellent Dolby Digital decoder for Totem.

Development on Moovida 2.0 is going pretty well and expect some nice release from us in the course of April 2010.

Thanks for reading ! :)
