Hi all,<br>I'm a gsoc student applicant and I would like to work for the GREAT VLC player.<br><br>I would like to expose what I think could be very usefull to spread even more the use of VLC and make it more addicting: build a multimedia catalog showing in an efficient manner all the media files in the local computer, attached devices, remote resources (network devices, shared files by computers in the local network).<br>
MTP Device Service Discovery project also needs a way to show the results so it could be profitable expand the MTP Device Service Discovery project in something like this:<br> <br>1. MTP Device Service Discovery: all about discovery devices and fullfill the data structures about the available devices<br>
<br>2. Resources Manager: manage in an efficient way all the media files founded in both discovered devices, local hard drives, remote resources. This point should include tests on the best way to record and fetch date (unstructured files, structured files, database)<br>
<br>3. Build interface: that's "just" about building the interface showing the media files. I think this is a VERY important point and need mostly a lot of collaboration for collect feedbacks.<br><br>I want to point up that I use VLC to play almost all my media files and I can not hide my frustration when I need to find a media file. We can make VLC a great media hub if we want and not only the best player.I am here to study in deep the previous points because I choose to dedicate this gsoc to projects about multimedia players and I really hope all of you finding interesting those points.<br>
<br>Kind Regards<br>
