About

QtMediaHub is a reference implementation of XBMC intended to showcase the power and convenience of QML. It is as a demo for use at Qt related events. It is intended for research and to convey best practices when using Qt/QML.

Features

• Completely skinnable - QtMediaHub is completely written in Qt Quick(1/2) and is thus completely skinnable. The core code is a C++ based media engine (aka runtime) that provides various platform and board dependent services. The QML User interface expose functionality at their discretion.

• Support Qt4 and Qt5 (Qt4 implies QtQuick1 and Qt5 implies QtQuick2).

• Controllable using a N9 remote control application. Device discovery is done through ZeroConf.

• Media streaming to stream content from your set top box to another device

• Packaged skins using a custom qar format

• Allows custom media integration alongside any built-in media integration of Qt Mobility.

Skins

There are different skins for corresponding graphic engines. See Category:QtMediaHub::Matinee for an example.
