Kaa Media Repository ==================== The **Kaa Media Repository** is a set of python modules related to media. Kaa modules are based on parts from Freevo and modules created for MeBox. Kaa exists to encourage code sharing between these projects, and to serve as an umbrella for several previously disparate media-related modules in order to make them available from one (unique) namespace. Kaa provides a base module that implements the common features needed for application development, such as mainloop management, timers, signals, callbacks, file descriptor monitors, etc. Kaa's other modules provide specific media-related functionality, such as retrieving metadata on arbitrary media files (kaa.metadata, previously called mmpython), Python wrappers for Imlib2, Xine, and Evas, and many other high level APIs for easily creating applications that deal with video and audio. Kaa is named after the python character in the Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. Modules ------- The maintainers for Kaa are Dirk Meyer (Dischi) and Jason Tackaberry (Tack). Some projects have special maintainers and creators; we only take care of the whole repository. If you have a module that fits into Kaa, let us know. If you find a bug or have a patch, send a mail to the freevo-devel mailing list. Most documentation pages are not yet created. Feel free to add some information about the module and how to use it. kaa.base ^^^^^^^^ This module provides the base Kaa framework and is an implicit dependency for all kaa modules. The kaa framework includes a mainloop facility with an API for signals and callbacks, timers, process and thread management, file descriptor monitoring (with INotify support), inter-process communication, as well as a rich, practically magical API for asynchronous programming * See `kaa.base documentation `_ for details. * Download the latest `release of kaa.base `_ from Sourceforge. * Maintainer: Dirk Meyer, Jason Tackaberry * License is LGPL. kaa.beacon ^^^^^^^^^^ A virtual file system based on a sqlite database. It is a merge of the current Freevo mediadb and vfs code. It is possible to get directory listings or query database by keywords. Based on an kaa.metadata and kaa.thumb, additional information about files / items can be provided. The module is based on a kaa.base.rpc client server architecture. It can also generate thumbnails for images and video files and read embedded thumbnails in mp3 files. Optional a fuse backend inside the client can be used to mount a query to a directory. * See `kaa.beacon documentation `_ for details. * The module is not released yet * Maintainer: Dirk Meyer * The license for the beacon server is GPL, the client API is available under the LGPL. kaa.candy ^^^^^^^^^ This module has no description yet * Detailed documentation is unavailable. * The module is not released yet * Maintainer: Dirk Meyer * License is LGPL kaa.cherrypy ^^^^^^^^^^^^ This module has no description yet * Detailed documentation is unavailable. * The module is not released yet * Maintainer: Dirk Meyer, Jason Tackaberry * License is GPL kaa.display ^^^^^^^^^^^ Low level support for various displays, such as X11 or framebuffer. Provides X11Display and X11Window classes for managing X11 windows, with optional support for Imlib2 (render Imlib2 images to X11 windows) and pygame (render Imlib2 images to pygame surfaces). * Detailed documentation is unavailable. * The module is not released yet * Maintainer: Jason Tackaberry * License is LGPL kaa.epg ^^^^^^^ An EPG module for python. It stores data using kaa.db and provides a convenient interface to the different channels and classes. Data can be added to the database with source modules; currently there is support for XMLTV, Epgdata.com, and Schedules Direct. Although XMLTV itself supports many data sources, native support for most popular sources is desirable and contributions would be appreciated. * Detailed documentation is unavailable. * The module is not released yet * Maintainer: Dirk Meyer, Jason Tackaberry * License is LGPL kaa.feedmanager ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This module has no description yet * Detailed documentation is unavailable. * The module is not released yet * Maintainer: Dirk Meyer * License is GPL kaa.imlib2 ^^^^^^^^^^ kaa.imlib2 is a simple Python wrapper around imlib2 for fast image processing. * See `kaa.imlib2 documentation `_ for details. * Download the latest `release of kaa.imlib2 `_ from Sourceforge. * Maintainer: Jason Tackaberry * License is LGPL kaa.metadata ^^^^^^^^^^^^ A powerful media metadata parser. It can extract metadata (such as id3 tags, for example) from a wide range of media files. Attributes like codec, length, resolution, audio/video/subtitle tracks, and chapters are also returned. * See `kaa.metadata documentation `_ for details. * Download the latest `release of kaa.metadata `_ from Sourceforge. The module is fully funtional; new parsers or enhancements to existing parsers are always needed. * Maintainer: Dirk Meyer * License is GPL. kaa.mevas ^^^^^^^^^ This module has no description yet * Detailed documentation is unavailable. * The module is not released yet * Maintainer: Jason Tackaberry * License is LGPL kaa.popcorn ^^^^^^^^^^^ This module has no description yet * Detailed documentation is unavailable. * The module is not released yet * Maintainer: Dirk Meyer, Jason Tackaberry * License is GPL kaa.xine ^^^^^^^^ This module has no description yet * Detailed documentation is unavailable. * The module is not released yet * Maintainer: Jason Tackaberry * License is GPL SVN Access ---------- Most of the modules in kaa are in heavy development and have no releases yet. You can check out the current development tree of kaa using subversion:: svn co svn://svn.freevo.org/kaa/trunk kaa
