About This Reference

The Multimedia Developer's Guide is intended for developers who wish to:

• use the QNX plugins that are available with the Media Player and Voyager Browser.
• write their own plugins to work with the Media Player.

You need hardware with an FPU for MPEG decoding because floating-point emulation is too slow. We don't currently support a fixed-point MPEG audio decoder.

The guide includes the following chapters:

• Multimedia Component Overview
• Media API Basics
• Media API Calls
• Loading the Plugins
• Multimedia Plugins
• Voyager Plugin Variants
• Functions
• Structures

and these appendixes:

• Resource Profile Estimates and Library Dependencies
• MvCommandType Descriptions
• A Simple Plugin Example
• The phplay remote control interface
• A playAudioCd.c Example
• A plaympegaudio_noph.c Example
• A playsound_noph.c Example
