Playback Engine for OpenTimelineIO sequences

[maptz]

I understand that playback isn't the purpose of OpenTimelineIO, but is there a playback engine that would allow for playback using certain adapters? Is there room for one?

Hi!

I believe the latest gstreamer should be able to playback an .otio file with ges-launch-1.0 timeline.otio
You could also try the mlt adapter and playback using melt.
And there's the RV plugin

That's interesting. Thanks @apetrynet .

I'll dig into the gstreamer implementation a bit. Looks very interesting.

Recently OTIO support was released in these playback tools:

• Autodesk's RV: http://www.cgchannel.com/2021/12/autodesk-ships-rv-2022/
• ftrack's cineSyncPlay (including the free version): https://www.ftrack.com/en/cinesync
• tlRender: https://github.com/darbyjohnston/tlRender
