LinuxTV.org
(Last updated: Jun. 13, 2001)

LinuxTV.org is devoted to the following mission: "TV is dead: This is LinuxTV"

From the website . . .

Only the access to the source code of our future television sets will guarantee the independence of content and technology. LinuxTV.org is a platform for the development of open source software for digital television (DVB, DTV) receivers, Linux DVD players, and tools to stream audio and video to the net.

Linux is becoming more and more fashionable as an embedded OS for Set-Top Boxes, digital TV sets, and mobile devices. Many manufacturers of so-called consumer electronics devices already experiment with it. Unfortunatley not all of them release the drivers for encoders and decoders in source code so that the Open Source community cannot yet contribute to the Digital Television development. Hopefully this will change in future.

LinuxTV.org provides information on receiving, playing, and streaming MPEG2 in Linux-based devices:
  • DVB section -- provides a market overview of Linux supported DVB receiver cards and some DVB-related links.

  • DVD section -- contains a short overview of Linux related DVD hardware and software as well as a large list of Linux and DVD-related links.

  • MBone section -- includes an overview of interesting multicast related Linux software.
About LinuxTV.org

LinuxTV.org was created and is maintained by the founders of Convergence Integrated Media (convergence.de). Convergence develops operating systems and software for digital TV devices like Set-Top Boxes, Personal Video Recorders, and DVD Players.

Parts of our developments are done Open Source. LinuxTV is a site where the Linux community can find the hardware drivers we developed for digital TV and DVD related hardware as well as APIs for developing Linux applications. LinuxTV users can also download our applications for watching digital TV or multicasting video to the internet. Furthermore, we try to keep an overview of other developments in the field of Linux and digital video as long as they are open source.

If the manufacturers of consumer electronic devices realize the power of the Open Source community, LinuxTV could become their platform for releasing hardware specs and documentation of their new devices. Together with the hardware manufacturers, the LinuxTV community could develop compelling applications and content for these devices. Our cooperation with Nokia shows that there is an interest form the industry side.
