Ok guys, i was wondering if any of you would be interested in some team-work to create a media player. i made a project called "Delta Player" (name can be changed) in c#, it can only play mp3's for now.

I need a team because it takes a few persons to make a good-looking interface (with custom controls), making it play other formats (.ogg, .wma, .aif), even videos (.avi, .mov) with subtitles, etc...

All team members will have their name and e-mail/website listed in the credits section.

Once made, the media player will be published as freeware on several download sites.

Please tell me if you are interested, or what you think.

I would help you but I would need you to teach me C# first, if your not interested that's ok.

This is the best way you can learn C#. I will teach you, add me to your Windows Live ID list or Skype list.

David has agreed to teach me C# over msn but we(he) is still looking for more people to participate in making the player so if your interested tell him.

Tempting. I'd be working in MonoDevelop on Ubuntu, so I can see interesting issues arising with that, though.

Well, the main problem would be rendering other file formats. If you can make class libraries under mono develop, then it's all ok! Actually, as long as it's a .NET language and i can use it in this project, it doesn't matter how the class library is made.

I think MonoDevelop is .NET 2.0 compatible, but I'm not sure.

If you can make some libraries that would let me play OGG's and WMA's, i will make sure your name appears in the credits section. Try do a simple DLL in Mono Develop and send it to me to see if i can use it.

Thank you!

Erm... sure thing. Any ideas how to do that? I am NOT a .NET developer.

Well, create a new solution in MonoDevelop, make it a class library and select your programming language.

Do you know C++/C#/VB ? Since the player is made in .NET, i can't use any other language (even though I would want to, it would take even more time).

If you can't help with the file formats, you can test it out later, to check for bugs, and tell us what improvements can we make to it in order to outrun other players.

I'm pretty familiar with C++, and can definitely do some code reviews. I can also do testing :)
