2. Project Summary
2.1. Project Description:
Elisa is a cross-platform media center. You can watch movies, listen to
music and view pictures with Elisa.
4. Technical Description:
4.1. Details:
The Elisa Media Center has many advanced features that will make your
media center experience unique. It features an intuitive interface with
a professional look and feel which is easy to use.
Elisa has the following features:
* View pictures with previews and animated slideshows
* Watch movies and video clips
* Browse a music collection by artist or album cover
* Media Browsing using Cover flow, Grid view, List view, Drag-and-drop
* Audio visualization during playback
* Supports media formats using the GStreamer multimedia framework, so it
supports the media formats that GStreamer does
* Autodetection of media on your cameras and USB hard drives
Elisa provides a modular media center, so its features can be
extended by using plugins.
Below are several more important plugins:
* base: base Elisa compoments
* hal: listens to HAL and informs Elisa when removable media is added
or removed
* gnome: blocks the GNOME screensaver
* amp: Asynchronous Messaging Protocol implementation for communication
between Elisa processes
* database: scans media files and stores them in a database for easier
access
* favorites: to mark items as favorites for quick access
* gstreamer: gstreamer related components
* pigment and poblesec: Frontends for Elisa based on the Pigment
rendering engine
* search: general search architecture and system
Elisa uses Pigment as its rendering engine. Pigment is a library for
creating rich application user interfaces. It allows embedding
multimedia contents such as audio and video with the simple integration
of the GStreamer library.
