Based on a new multimedia middleware for Linux, we describe the design of a simple, and extensible application and user interface framework. We have used this framework to create a home entertainment application that currently supports playing CDs, MP3s, DVDs, grabbing CDs, as well as watching digital and analog TV with time-shifting.
