VLC media player is a powerful multimedia player, which can play nearly all video and audio formats, can be used as a streaming server and client, ca reencode various formats, etc. It can be used on a large number of OS, but the Windows CE has been broken for a long time, and now, I'm here to fix it!

Windows CE is one of Microsoft's OS, and is designed for embedded devices. It is highly configurable, and can be used on many types of hardware. Windows Mobile, the OS for PDAs and Smartphones, is based on Windows CE. This system is a bit different from the other Windows, so I'll have some work this summer!

The difficulty here is that VLC media player must be used on various plateforms, so I must not break the code for other systems. I also have to recompile for Windows CE all the libraries used. I'll use the cegcc development tools. I have chosen to use the Visual Studio remote tools and gdb combined with the Device simulator. With that, I'll be able to check the behaviour of my port on various virtual machines. And of course, I'll use it on my phone :)
