Can you join the xuggler-users group and let’s have the discussion there (that way everyone can see)?

I just saw posts denying the possibility of loading up Xuggler in a signed applet. I don’t have a affirmative working solution – I was planning to work on it. But based on my experience with loading jni projects as applets, I don’t understand why this can’t be done. After all it would be a java jar file with a bunch of dll’s (or so’s) – the applet can unpack the jar file, spit out a copy dll’s into the tmp folder (System.getProperty) and start loading them using System.load (instead of loadLibrary).

Would there be anything more to xuggler than this ? I must be missing something here.

People ported other ffmpeg based java wrappers into applets.

In either case, if there is no clear impossibility, I would love to give it a try to see why not… If it’s not clearly possible, then I would love to know why.

Otherwise, I think you’ll find you’ll have trouble getting Xuggler to behave in an applet.

We are working on porting xuggler into an applet and if you remove the support for 1.5, people like us need to work on keeping a compatible version of xuggler (modifying some code) which is really not good.

Better way is to have build parameters to support both versions until the folks at Apple figure out something to do with this.
