OpenZaurus Media Edition
Need a good title for this.
Turn a Zaurus into an iPod-like device, since I don't use my Z for any PIM stuff anyway. It should be able to play video, play audio, display ebooks.
Possible front ends
Invariants
- All the stuff that does the work must be in Python, so I can hack on it
- It must never ever show you a "file path". Just display what music is available, what videos, etc.
- It must seamlessly pick up stuff on CF, SD, etc
- mount and unmount cards cleanly
How to do it
- Install the OpenZaurus bootstrap image
- Get it to talk to my laptop so I can ssh into it and it can see the net
- Install Python and other packages
- The actual application
- Controlling vlc
- Controlling madplay
- dump the disk image, at this point, so OZME can be reflashed: the opie.rootfs.img etc that you install as initrd.img when flashing is just a disk image.
