Embed VLC player in GWT

Question

Hello,

I want to embed a VLC player in my webapp build with Google's GWT.

First I had a look at this page: http://wiki.videolan.org/GWT, which offers a nice solution but I add to implements all javascript functions calls (play, stop, fullscreen) with JSNI.

Then I found gwt-player (hosted by Google code) which does all the job for me but the annoying part is that the project is not widely used (few posts each month on the project's group, not so many talks about it in blogs/forums...)

Do you know another option to easly embed & control a VLC player in a GWT app ?

My main goal is to play any video/audio file in a webapp and offer the user a fast/forward feature (set rate in VLC), is there any other player I could use ? I already had a look at Quicktime, Windows Media player & Flowplayer, none of them offers as much features as VLC.

Thanks in advance & have a nice new year's eve.

Chris

Answer 1

Since it does the job it should only be annoying if there is no active development.
