Ambulant Source Code Page

The AMBULANT Player is an open-source, SMIL 3.0 player. It contains a basic player UI framework and implements nearly the entire SMIL 3.0 Language profile. It also implements the SMIL 3.0 UnifiedMobile and SMIL Tiny profiles. For more information on SMIL 3.0 support in AMBULANT, please see the About SMIL 3.0 page.

A series of convenient builds for the Mac, Win32 and WinCE platforms are available at the AMBULANT Convenience Builds page.

Reuse of the AMBULANT Player source tree is covered by the terms of the Ambulant/Lesser GNU license and copyright notice.

Important: The AMBULANT 2.0 sources reflect an initial release of AMBULANT's SMIL 3.0 technology. There are a number of issues with video rendering and the painting of smilText in this release. We expect updates before the end of December 2008.

The source distribution for AMBULANT 2.0 consists of a common source tree and a set of per-platform third-party packages that are used to actually render the media and control streaming transport.
