Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to play within linuxmce an ppt or pps file from Impress, beacause i know that you can start Openoffice Impress ( open source powerpoint ) in kiosk mode ( full screen ), does someone has some experience with this or maybe want to help me.
Thnx in advance,
Dave
in order to do this, would need to actually implement the Docs mediatype. This may be one of my future projects after I finish my work on the game mediatype.

Thom,
Thanx for you're quick reply, can i do some research or do some work in order to make this work?
Thnx in avance,
Dave
yes, read up on DCE on the wiki, also look at Media_Plugin, and the current media plugins (Xine_Plugin, MythTV_Plugin) and their associated players if you wish to write a new media type device, which is essentially what you'll be doing.
Essentially you'll need to write a media plugin to take care of creating streams (File handles + metadata) for the Docs media type, which sends commands to a Document_Player, which opens the appropriate bits of OpenOffice as needed using the App Server.
the SVN is here... http://svn.charonmedia.org/ go grab and take a look.
