Flexible multimedia player architecture for embedded systems

This paper describes a flexible multimedia stack which provides media content from number of different streaming protocols. The main goal is to facilitate and accelerate integration with different TV and Set Top Box platforms. Presented solution can be used on Android as well as on Linux based systems. Advantages of this solution are unified data flow and processing of media data. It provides elementary stream data to vendor specific APIs independent of streaming protocol. Such approach simplifies integration effort by consisting on single integration API, towards vendor specific decoder APIs. Solution is verified using official HbbTV test suite.
