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

• PyCar
• Freevo

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.
• ...
• Profit
