RE: XPS for live video stream on Nokia devices

Uwe,

I am not sure about the use case here, so can't give you
specific
answer. Have you considered using
CVideoPlayerUtility::OpenURL ? 
If it is SDP initiated multicast then you may pass the SDP
file directly
to CVideoPlayerUtility::OpenFile. In both the cases,
CVideoPlayerUtility
would be able to play live streams. H/W accelerated  codecs
would be
used if available on the phone. No additional efforts are
required from
the user to use the h/w accelerated codecs.

Thanks
Ashish

Hi and thanks for your response Ashish,

So I can forget using xps and will have to write an mmf
controller(sigh). At least I hope that I can use the
hardware
accelerated codecs. If you have any advice or could tell me
what I
should look at please let me know.

Thanks,

Uwe
