Question:
Can I write multimedia plug-ins for Symbian OS?
Answer:
While it was possible up to v7.0 of Symbian OS to extend the capability of the media server with plug-ins, the APIs for this
were not made public as the single-threaded architecture of the media server might cause problems with arbitrary 3rd party
plug-ins competing with one another. So plug-ins were only provided by system developers.
The new MultiMedia Framework (MMF) in Symbian OS v7.0s provides a more robust multimedia architecture. The APIs used for
plug-ins are for the first time fully documented in both the API Reference section and the Symbian OS guide of the v7.0s Symbian
Developer Library, with the caveat that some of the v7.0s MMF base classes have only provisional APIs which are likely to
be modified in future Symbian OS releases. These future changes will only affect implementers of plug-ins: the APIs exported
by plug-ins should not need to change.
