[FFmpeg-devel] XBMC - another project using FFmpeg

[Andreas Setterlind]

XBMC (formerly named "XBox Media Center", but not not anymore, now it
is simply named "XBMC"), a free and open source software
cross-platform media player and media center entertainment hub.
Originally developed by the same team of programmers as XBox Media
Player (XBMP) for the first-generation Xbox game console, founded in
2002, XBMC has since been ported (using SDL and OpenGL) to also run
naively under Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows operating-system.

Official XBMC software application names of the ports:
XBMC for Linux
XBMC for Mac OS X
XBMC for Windows
XBMC for Xbox

XBMC for Xbox uses FFmpeg in three ways; first in a old ported version
of MPlayer (MPlayer 1.0pre6 to be specific), secondly in it's own
in-house video player ("XBMC DVDPlayer", named so as it features
libdvdnav for DVD-Video menu support), and thirdly as extracted
separate audio decoder codecs for XBMC in-house audio player
("Psycho-acoustic Audio Player", or "PAPlayer" as the short-name).
Only the Xbox version of XBMC uses MPlayer. The Linux, Mac OS X, and
Microsoft Windows version of XBMC only feature XBMC's own in-source
video and audio players (DVDPlayer and PAPlayer). For more infomation
