libtizonia	An OpenMAX IL 1.2 base component library
tizrmd	A D-Bus based Resource Manager deamon process
libtizrmproxy	A client library to talk to the RM process
libtizosal	A library of utilities and wrapped OS functions

Tizonia OpenMAX IL components

The following OpenMAX IL 1.2 components are currently present in the Tizonia repositories, under the plugins folder.

Working components (with varying levels of quality)

Skeleton components

These are work in progress components that do not yet include a processing function implementation.

Component	OMX Name	Roles	Description
Webp encoder	OMX.Aratelia.image_encoder.webp	image_encoder.webp
Webp decoder	OMX.Aratelia.image_decoder.webp	image_decoder.webp
Vp8 encoder	OMX.Aratelia.video_encoder.vp8	video_encoder.vp8

Test components

Component	OMX Name	Roles	Description
Tizonia test component	OMX.Aratelia.tizonia.test_component	tizonia_test_component.role1	Test component to support libtizonia's unit tests
		tizonia_test_component.role2
IL Core test component	OMX.Aratelia.ilcore.test_component	default	Test component to support libtizcore's unit tests

Non-standard components

These are components that do not have a corresponding definition in the Standard Components section of the OpenMAX IL specification. Normally, OpenMAX IL extensions are needed to build and run these components. The extension can be found in the OMX_TizoniaExt.h header file.

Component	OMX Name	Roles	Description
Icecast-like HTTP Sink	OMX.Aratelia.ice_renderer.http	ice_renderer.http	WORK IN PROGRESS: This sink will be used to implement a simple http streaming server application

Example command-line apps

The examples directory contains a number of command-line programs that use the Tizonia OpenMAX IL Core and components.

tplay

A simple player that can currently reproduce or stream mp3s using OpenMAX IL pipelines.

Tizonia OpenMAX IL player version 0.1.0

usage: tplay [-l] [-r] [-c] [-s] [-v] [-h] [FILE]
options:
	-l --list-components				Enumerate all OpenMAX IL components.
	-r --roles-of-comp <component>		Display the roles found in <component>.
	-c --comps-of-role <role>			Display the components that implement <role>.
	-s --stream						Stream mp3 media on port 8010.
	-v --version						Display version info.
	-h --help							Display help.

Examples:
	 tplay ~/Music (decodes every supported file in the '~/Music' folder)
	    * Press [p] to skip to previous file.
	    * Press [n] to skip to next file.
	    * Press [SPACE] to pause playback.
	    * Press [q] to quit.
	    * Press [Ctrl-c] to terminate the player at any time.

	 tplay -s ~/Music (streams via HTTP on port 8010 every mp3 file in the '~/Music' folder)
	    * Press [q] to quit.
	    * Press [Ctrl-c] to terminate the player at any time.
