As before, the three-pronged approach of text_input, in- put_method, and virtual keyboard still causes confusion, but increased interest in implementing it helps find problems and come closer to something that really works for many usecases. The talk will mention how a broken assumption causes a broken protocol, and why we’re notdone with Wayland input methods yet. It’s recommended to people who want to know more about the current state of input methods on Wayland.

  • Blackberry QNX Multimedia Suite
    PRODUCT BRIEF QNX Multimedia Suite The QNX Multimedia Suite is a comprehensive collection of media technology that has evolved over the years to keep pace with the latest media requirements of current-day embedded systems. Proven in tens of millions of automotive infotainment head units, the suite enables media-rich, high-quality playback, encoding and streaming of audio and video content. The multimedia suite comprises a modular, highly-scalable architecture that enables building high value, customized solutions that range from simple media players to networked systems in the car. The suite is optimized to leverage system-on-chip (SoC) video acceleration, in addition to supporting OpenMAX AL, an industry open standard API for application-level access to a device’s audio, video and imaging capabilities. Overview Consumer’s demand for multimedia has fueled an anywhere- o QNX SDK for Smartphone Connectivity (with support for Apple anytime paradigm, making multimedia ubiquitous in embedded CarPlay and Android Auto) systems. More and more embedded applications have require- o Qt distributions for QNX SDP 7 ments for audio, video and communication processing capabilities. For example, an infotainment system’s media player enables o QNX CAR Platform for Infotainment playback of content, stored either on-board or accessed from an • Support for a variety of external media stores external drive, mobile device or streamed over IP via a browser. Increasingly, these systems also have streaming requirements for Features at a Glance distributing content across a network, for instance from a head Multimedia Playback unit to the digital instrument cluster or rear seat entertainment units.
