Developing a fullscreen "media player" on linux

I'm a Windows developer and I need to develop a Linux application. The goal is to开发者_高级运维 have a fullscreen application being able to display different media types (images, videos, flash). There might be multiple media files being displayed at the same time on the screen (if the screen is split in multiple zones).

Can someone point me in the right direction as to what is the most appropriate technology/tools/frameworks to use?

I have experience with C#, C++ and Objective C.

Thanks,

Pyt

You could look into MPlayer's libraries, that are extensively used by several Linux applications as a backend.

Best of all, its cross OS and of high quality.

Qt for the gui
Probably C++ for the code

You could look at FFMPEG libraries (http://ffmpeg.org/index.html) QtMediaHub (http://qt-project.org/wiki/QtMediaHub) has some useful (and pretty stable) classes and sample implementations.
