Freevo Developers Interviewed

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the up-close-and-personal dept.

prostoalex writes "O'Reilly's LinuxDevCenter features Freevo, 'a media platform that brings together various applications for video recording and playback.' They interview the developers, and talk about the current plans for the project. Freevo is not just a standalone product, it's a platform to which other developers, interested in home media on Linux, can plug into."

  1. Freevo vs. MythTV by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I am considering building a Linux "Media Center" PC soon and one reason I like Freevo more than MythTV is that for the most part it is written in Python. It seems that Freevo would be far easier to modify and write plugins for than Myth (which mostly written in C). Even the creators of Freevo claim they did not know Python before they started.
