I was once working on a media player side project on a relatively low-power piece of hardware. Things were going quite well and I had hardware-assisted fullscreen video playing. I then hit a major wall: User interface. I could not find a suitable UI library for small embedded systems. And the last thing I wanted to spend my time doing was creating a new library.<\/p>\n
At the time, I learned of one UI toolkit that was specifically designed for applications like embedded media players. Unfortunately, the developers’ concept of “embedded” was wildly divergent from my own as evidenced by its Boost library<\/a> requirement.<\/p>\n I recently came across at least 2 UIs that rekindled my interest in this area: PicoGUI<\/a> and Nano-X<\/a>. However, based on screenshots, both appear intent upon replicating a normal desktop GUI environment on an embedded system. I guess I’m looking more for something that primarily organizes a bunch of fullscreen transparent\/transluscent menus arranged in a conceptual tree hierarchy that can contain buttons, text labels, scrollable lists, and slider controls. These are the UI elements most useful for a media playback UI.<\/p>\n Any other ideas?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Don’t need much…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-297","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-open-source-multimedia"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
