OpenSolaris Project: Nightingale: Port Songbird to OpenSolarisView the leaders for this projectProject Observers Endorsing communitiesDesktopThe Songbird 1.0.0 release for OpenSolaris is out and hosted on Songbird's server now. Please do notice that the GStreamer Input Selector plugin addon is necessary for 1.0.0 builds to work.
The Songbird media player is a cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) desktop media player that "plays the web". In addition to supporting the usual media library management/player capabilities, it presents APIs to add-ons (extensions) and websites allowing for bidirectional interaction between the media player and the web. It leverages existing open source software, namely it is based on the XULRunner codebase from the Mozilla project. It also leverages other technologies such as GStreamer and VLC for its media playback. There are both Songbird and OpenSolaris users who would like to see it ported to OpenSolaris. We have an existing set of patches and work done, but have run into hurdles with XULRunner and could use the help and skills of other Desktop and Mozilla contributors in the Desktop Community. This project intends to port Songbird, and its dependencies to OpenSolaris. Patches will be kept in sync with upstream releases and every effort will be made to contribute and integrate sources back into upstream source trees. Resources
