But we are even more excited about the future as other modules become available and the potential of this open source tool becomes apparent to users worldwide.” Under development since 2000, Jahshaka has had more than 500,000 downloads to date.
Jahshaka is hardware-accelerated using Open GL and operates on Microsoft Windows XP, LINUX and Mac OSX platforms. The new source code underlying Jahplayer features an Open API architecture that is designed to encourage the development of plugins and other add-ons by third parties. Similarly, it is Python-based to facilitate scripting. “The new source code was designed from the ground up to make it easy for users and developers to create enhancements and plugins,” Gonçalo noted. “Individual users can tailor customizations to suit their particular applications and workflow.”
Jahplayer is capable of playing image sequences and digital video in various industry-standard formats, including Windows AVI, QuickTime, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.
