If anyone is working on it, it's Jean-Marc "Polux" Dressler
(polux at via.ecp.fr), but last time I saw him he was more into trying to
get overlay support working, so I think you can safely start working on
the interface. Maybe Polux will have more information on the issue.
A few hints, which you may or may not find useful depending on your
skills and current knowledge of the vlc structure:
- the most important parts to get working are, in my mind, the slide
bar and the toolbox (or a menu) with at least the "pause" feature.
- the parts of the source code you will have to deal with are in
include/beos_window.h (which I think should be eventually moved to
plugins/beos/) and plugins/beos/intf_beos.cpp.
- for description of what your interface callbacks should do,
you may want to have a look at plugins/gnome/gnome_callbacks.c and
plugins/gnome/intf_gnome.c.
- someone on #beos told me about the importance of font-sensitivity in
BeOS interfaces. I don't know how people usually deal with this issue,
but I consider it quite important as well.
For further discussion on the subject, I suggest switching to the
vlc-devel mailing-list.
Thanks a lot for your help !
