It should maintain a full-screen display while playing, showing the video when video is played and some kind of visualization when audio is played, without showing the software controls on the screen. The intent is to provide jukebox-like functionality on a FreeBSD platform on screens in a small venue (like a bar or nightclub, for instance) so that both audio-only music and music videos can be played. Open source software preferred, of course -- and most-preferred would be a BSD-like license -- though proprietary/closed-source software is not out of the question, as long as licensing costs are reasonable (aka "cheap"). -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Kent Beck: "I always knew that one day Smalltalk would replace Java.
