[vdr] TV on MIDP2.0 (like 6230)

right...it was hard to find a jse bluetooth implementation, because
there is nothing really free. currently i use the one from
www.roccosoft.com, that is free for university and private use...they
implemented jsr-82 on jse. it is working great.

my streaming currently is a capturing with jmf and sending single frames
(png pictures) to the mobile phone. png has to be implemented by every
midp phone...

yesterday i came across the multimedia mobile api..so i am going to try
real streams with 3gpp ..

cool. if you want to, maybe we can integrate this. i am trying to create
a module-based system. so this could be done as a seperate module...

right..tcp/ip is better for debugging too..i use a tcp/ip connector for
debugging sessions instead of the bluetooth connection...

at the moment i am concentrating on local use (bluetooth range); my goal
was a little substitute for a lcd-screen (-> i want to implement some
module with system statistics additionly to the vdr stuff...). so to
say: "a mobile lcd screen" ..

oh..so you never came across of the real problems with bluetooth and jse
... anyway.. i am going to release the stuff under the GPL ..

my server listens for incoming connections, if it gets the right command
it uses jmf to capture the v4l device.. vdr messages are send to svdrp
...like your socket forwarder..

great. i think i release some initial version; and you give me response
to it. would do you think?

bye.
