I had the idea for an program: Watching streaming videos on your ds... i can start the project but can't do any more than the design for it! so if any programmer is willing to join the project i like to talk to you! i'm talking about asx

Not bad idea, but how would you buffer the stream?
But: With 2 MBit/s in WiFi Mode, the DS is too slowly to buffer a video stream, sound is ok (see DragonMinded's DSOrganize), also you have to choose a video codec, which is streamable

i was thinking about to download like 15 second to the disk, start playing and then while he is playing download more! i think asx just uses the wmv codec or something!

A DPG video is typically 0.25 Mbit/s. I don't know whether there are other inefficiencies in dswifi that prevent streaming at this rate.
As for where the stream would be buffered, a 2 MB buffer in EWRAM could hold a minute of a 256 Kbps stream.

why save it in the ram, i think saving on the card would be better for movies that are bigger, because if you have more than one minute you cannot playback so better save it on the card... any volounteers? i will give a design soon!
#138993 - jerbob92 - Fri Aug 31, 2007 2:30 pm
Nobody interested, i will give some graphics ideas soon, but if no scripter want to help, i am nowhere!

What do you need a scripter for? I don't see how a media player would need a background story or anything.
#139012 - Lynx - Fri Aug 31, 2007 6:58 pm
Well, if it's going to use a TCL interpreter.. a scripter would be handy.

how would you ever make a program without a programmer/scripter?
#139017 - josath - Fri Aug 31, 2007 7:22 pm
Ah yes, writing a video decoder in a scripting language, such a brilliant idea, why didn't I think of that?
also, try reading this: http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=13906
though it's not directly related (you want an app, not a game), it can still be useful.

A few video players have their UI in an interpreted language but all the video decoding in native code or a JIT-compiled language.

i don't want to write a video codec, i want a program that can play streaming video's i don't know which video format is used for it but maybe a video codec is already written for it

*facepalm*

One possible solution: adapt DPG code to stream from Wi-Fi instead of from disk. But how feasible is this?

It might be feasible if Media Cart releases their source like they claim they will. Since it is a retooling of DPG code along with other programs, it is likely to be easier to read and modify. (pure speculation of course :P)
#139049 - DragonMinded - Sat Sep 01, 2007 12:44 am
They have said to me that they will never release source code. They are trying to license the code from respective developers in the homebrew community because they don't want to release source, but it looks like the code costs too much for what they thought it was worth (they offered me $322 for EVERYTHING that they took from dso, not even a week's pay). So it's possible this card might not even come out.

Seriously guys, how hard is it to simply TRY something yourself?
#139064 - jerbob92 - Sat Sep 01, 2007 10:21 am
yes, the dpg streaming could be possible, but somebody has to start the streaming of the dpg's
Does somebody know where i can get the source?
#139170 - Dood77 - Mon Sep 03, 2007 2:27 am
Okay so I've got a great idea too.... playing n64 games on your ds.... i can start the project but can't do any more than the design for it!

Wow, that's some great "open source spirit".
