Comprehension[edit]

Special:Permalink/580103791 says: "In contrast to function libraries, a multimedia framework provides a run time environment for the media processing. Ideally such an environment provides execution contexts"

My question: where is the difference between an "execution context" and a subroutine/function in a library file, that can be called upon? User:ScotXW^t@lk 10:43, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

android?[edit]

what framework is android use？ Stagefright ？ --111.175.93.166 (talk) 07:42, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

platforms[edit]

Wouldn't it be better to have a table of frameworks vs. platform. Also 'platform independent' vs. 'cross platform': that is the same (means JMF could go up to the platform independent group). Ensonic (talk) 11:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree to generally specify the supported platforms instead of using the word "cross-platform". User:ScotXW^t@lk 10:43, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

general[edit]

Are the last two links in den windows section meant to be there? I would propose to remove them or at least turn them into links. Ensonic (talk) 11:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

key features[edit]

I think it would be good to explain key features of a MMF a bit more in detail:

detecting the i/o protocol (file, http, rtsp, mms, ...)
file type recognition (avi, ogg, asf, mp4, ...
detect codecs for each stream (h264, aac, mp3, vorbis, ...)

Good idea? Any good sources? Ensonic (talk) 12:15, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You mean make this article be more like the GStreamer article? For certain a valid idea. I neither have the knowledge nor the comprehension to do so. Me still thinks it is overkill to employ GStreamer for simple playback ;-) Of course I do that after watching several videos from "tech talks" at GUADEC and co. Many such Wikipedia articles (on software) are either too short or wrong or simply incomprehensible for me. User:ScotXW^t@lk 10:47, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

mmf architectures[edit]

gstreamer, direct show, openmax and nmm are filter graph based. What other architectures exist? Sources? Ensonic (talk) 12:15, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FAQ[edit]

Are mmf use to build Virtual Studio and editing software, like DJ Software, FL (FruityLoops) Studio. --Ramu50 (talk) 21:29, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

many applications use an own engine internally, but might interface with a platform multimedia framework to e.g. use media capture, media rendering and/or accelerated codecs. Ensonic (talk) 19:41, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
