donations for dvd-menu in xbmc campaign
we have had this idea in mind for a while and were planning to kick of this campaign at a later date but after a recent post in mplayer-dev mailing-list we have decided to bring forward the announcement. the 'donations for dvd-menu in xbmc campaign' basic concept is to encourage xbmc end-users to make donations (via paypal) into a fund in order to motivate the xbmc developers to prioritize programming dvd-video menu/navigation support for xbmc. this concept has been brewing for a few month now as many people have either posted in the forum or e-mailed us directly offering to donate money to this specific cause, which has been the #1 requested feature for quite a while.
so come on, be generous and help support the xbmc project. give donations for how much you feel xbmc is worth to you as a whole if this feature were added to xbmc's already very long feature list. the xbmc developer(s) who code this huge feature will collect the fund-pot on completion as a reward - they have adready started coding.
make your donation towards dvd-menu support in xbmc via paypal: $25, $50, $100, or other.
if like to make a none-paypal (money or maybe a gift) donation please contact gamester17.
list of functions we're looking for:
- use mplayer or other mpeg-2 core for dvd-video playback
(eg hook/link-into a separate player-core's api/framework)
- display menus from retail authored dvd-video movies
- navigate through authored dvd-video movies (with high-light)
- ifo-parsing (in the player core or integrated into libdvdnav)
- use libdvdcss (in the player core, integrated or seperate dll)
- support 'stills' (ex. from special features)
- dvd-chapter support (in the player core or integrated)
- vobsub display/reader (in the player core or integrated)
