Microsoft Windows Media Player for Linux? | |
|

| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

On page 19 of Microsoft's PDF Response to Real's Allegations: "141. Microsoft denies the allegations of Paragraph 141, except (a) admits that (i) there is a software development kit for Windows Media technologies and (ii) Microsoft has developed standalone applications called “Windows Media Player” for use with the Apple Macintosh and Linux operating systems; and (b) avers that those standalone applications are comprised of different software code and provide different functionality to software developers and end users than the media playback functionality in Microsoft’s Windows operating systems. " Proof is in the pudding. | ||

| It's a shame that MS is not doing it themselves. I'd like to have WMP on Linux. |

Can anyone clear up the confusion?
For one, this is a response to Real's claims. Real said MS had developed WMP for Linux in its initial claim. Is this true in any form (the actual player, not the format)? The InterVideo announcement I saw when it was released but adds further confusion. This is not WMP but rather just the codecs, container, and DRM which I had thought was already ported a while ago. Is this not the case yet? (I had thought it was, and the InterVideo agreement was simply a more specialized deal for embedded and consumer devices.) Thirdly, to make this clear, Real had stated this a long time ago. The argument was: MS has ported WMP, and its related technologies, to and separated it fromother platforms, and that it can act independent of the OS. Microsoft is simply stating that is true, but it is different code and provides different functionality. This post was edited by sodajerk on Tuesday, February 24, 2004 at 13:55. |

Actually, I quite like it (parker will probably have a stroke when he reads this). It has the features I want and need in a media player. What would you recommend over WMP? |

"Could it be run on Linux/Sparc? I don't know."
No it can't. The WMP for Solaris is tied into the Sun kernel. It would have to be reverse engineered and ported to Linux. Not likely to happen - if it's even possible. |
