Action time
Now, we have developed an understanding of the underlying details. We have built images that contain a video player, that is, gaku and GStreamer, to support this player as a multimedia framework. We have enabled a minimal set of plugins for our use. Having all this, we are ready to see how this actually works. Perform the following steps to see this in action.
- Connect your board with the HDMI display. I have used my Samsung 32'' LED TV for this purpose.
- To connect the TV to the board, I used a micro HDMI-to-HDMI cable.
- Copy some
.ogg
video file. You can convert some existing video file. You can download video files from http://techslides.com/sample-webm-ogg-and-mp4-video-files-for-html5. - Copy your downloaded video file to the board, directly onto a card, or using SSH, if you have connected the board to a network.
- Launch gaku from UI.
- I attached a USB mouse to use the UI.
- Use the + button to browse to the directory containing the
sample.ogg
file. - Choose your copied video...
