Thanks Hi Jacob, Just to go a little further on your idea.. Why don't create a UMPC usable mobile player. You can use existing technology's and software. I am wishing for somebody to fix totem to only use gtk libs and gstreamer libs, and to improve to gui a bit to render better on smaller screens. Al the building blocks are there it would be great for the complete community if you can fix these issues and create a nice and molecular base platform that use totem and gstreamer. Kind regards, Jelle de Jong
