UMMS Architecture

Introduction

This page describes the architecture of umms-0.1, you can get the code from: git://gitorious.org:meego-middleware/umms.git
UMMS general description can found on its main page

Class Diagram

• UmmsAudioManager

Class to implement com.UMMS.AudioManager interface which provide client with audio output control service.

• UmmsVideoOutput

Class to implement com.UMMS.VideoOutput interface which provide client with video output control service.

• UmmsPlayingContentMetadataViewer

Class to implement com.UMMS.PlayingContentMetadataViewer interface which allow the client to query the current playing content on server side.

• UmmsObjectManager

Class to manage MediaPlayer objects, including create/destory, register/unregister MediaPlayer objects.

• UmmsMediaPlayer

Class to implement the com.UMMS.MediaPlayer interface which provide media playback service for client.

• UmmsPlayerBackend

A base class which defined internal interface for media playback. UmmsMediaPlayer uses this class to handle the service request. Backend developer need to subclass it.

• UmmsAudioManagerBackend

A base class which defined internal interface for controlling audio output. UmmsAudioManager uses this class to handle the service request. Backend developer need to subclass it.

• UmmsVideoOutputBackend

A base class which defined internal interface for controlling video output. UmmsVideoOutput uses this class to handle the service request. Backend developer need to subclass it.

• UmmsPlugin

A class which defined the plugin mechanism. All backend should be implemented as a UmmsPlugin.

• Player

An implementation of UmmsPlayerBackend.

• AudioManger

An implementation of UmmsAudioBackend.

• VideoOutput

An implementation of UmmsVideoOutput.

Note that, Player,AudioManger,VideoOutput are plugins and will not provide by umms-1.0.

How to develop a backend

Suppose you are going to develop a player backend.

• Step 1: Subclass UmmsPlayerBackend

The UmmsPlayerBackend is internal interface to abstract all the media playback control. Backend developer should subclass this class and implement its vmethods. Of cause, you can just implement a subset of the virtual methods defined in UmmsPlayerBackendClass struct, e.g. For dvb player backend, it is optional to implement the "pause" method. If you want to add time-shifting feature for DVB playback, implementing "pause" method is a choice.

• Step 2: Define UmmsPlugin struct in your .c file
