[vlc-devel] Re: compiling for qte

[Jean-Paul Saman]

The files you want to look at are:

modules/gui/opie/opie.ui                      --> The none existing GUI 
for Opie/Qt Embedded
modules/video_output/qte/qte.{cpp,h} --> The bare bones (directly to 
framebuffer) video output
modules/misc/qte_main.cpp                 --> The GUI helper module 
needed to support both a video_output and GUI plugin. Qt Embedded only 
has to be initialized ones.

Hopefully these files will give you enough of a starting point to look 
at the code. Feel free to ask questions I'll try to answer them.

Qt Embedded in vlc-0.7.1 should work alright independent of screen size. 
Are you trying to write to a windows instead of to the framebuffer 
directly? The Qt Embedded video output is written for direct use with 
the framebuffer.
