Main Page

This is the homepage for the Theora Playback Library (libtheoraplayer).

You can use this library to stream any number of Theora video files in your application.

The library has an abstracted audio and video interface so you can use it in any environment you wish (OpenGL, DirectX, SDL, Windows GDI, X11...)

It runs equally good on Windows Mac Linux, iOS, Android etc. The library also supports native platform decoders where applicable for performance reasons, eg. H.264 on iOS and Mac.

Bug reports and features requests are welcome. Please spread the word of this project!
