ME for MP3 Playback

Post by Klimru »

Has anyone successfully gotten the ME the decode an mp3?

I've been fooling with a few methods based on the ME example, but I havent really had any luck.

What approaches?

If you use the ME as a second MIPS core, you can write all the code yourself (ie. run an open source MP3 decoder on the 2nd CPU core)
If you want to use the system provided routines (see the VSH "music_plugin.prx" module), you need to figure out some of the trickier VSH system interfaces. The advantage is you don't need to reimplement all the codecs.
Usefull especially in the case of MP4 playback (hardware acceleration built in)
