Welcome to the Funtoo Media project! This project is focused on curating various types of media support in Funtoo. By 'media', we are generally referring to all the media-related packages in media-kit (both 1.4-release and next) as well as potentially some packages that ''should'' be in media-kit, plus the media-related multi-profiles.
The goal of the Funtoo Media project is to provide essential functionality related to media support in Funtoo Linux, and to curate/maintain the media packages. Media packages can include:
* Audio
** audio frameworks, libraries and APIs
** audio formats and codec support
** 'essential' audio playback applications
* Video
** AV frameworks, libraries and APIs including gstreamer
** video formats and codec support
** 'essential' video playback applications
* Graphics
** Bitmap/vector graphics format frameworks, libraries and APIs
** Photo-related support libraries (RAW, EXIF)
** 'essential' graphics applications such as Imagemagick
* Hardware
** Libraries related to accessing commercial media such as CD, DVD, Blu-Ray Disc
** Media-oriented libraries and protocols for such functionality (such as Firewire)
* Typography
** Core font libraries
** Core font selection in Funtoo

Welcome to the Funtoo Media project! This project is focused on curating various types of media support in Funtoo. By 'media', we are generally referring to all the media-related packages in media-kit (both 1.4-release and next) as well as potentially some packages that should be in media-kit, plus the media-related multi-profiles.

The goal of the Funtoo Media project is to provide essential functionality related to media support in Funtoo Linux, and to curate/maintain the media packages. Media packages can include:

  • Audio
    • audio frameworks, libraries and APIs
    • audio formats and codec support
