####Description:

Win32 API build for a basic audio/video player

Created as a project to learn Win32 API programming and audio/video file playback and as a project for college

####License:

Uses mutiple licenses.Consult with individual softwares. Code is in public domain.

####Uses the following softwares:

1. SQLite
2. SDL
3. CppDB
4. TagLib

####Issues / TODO list:

• Transparency makes text hard to read, the choice of the background chrome affects the text.
• Prepared SQL does not work for some characters yet, prob need to circument CppDB and use SQLite directly.
• Issues while playing some types of audio/video file specifically ogg/theora and flash video > 8.0.
• UI is still basic, need to polish the UI and add more features.
• Contains duplicated code and redundant files so as not to break new/old features.
• Direct2D was used to render effects however discarded due to complexity and still not sure if using Direct2d will help in any way.

####Tools:

• Compiled with VC++ 2010 express edition.
• TestApp is the project for program until it is ready to be moved to the MediaPlayerX project folder.
• TagLib has been compiled from source only for debug release.
