[OT] Seeking for a true *Multi*media player




Hi,

sorry for the slightly offtopic question, but I believe in the 
competence of the list members here... ;)

I'm seeking for (or plan to code) a Linux based and truly multimedia 
capable player application which is able to play the following mixed 
content, in arbitrary order controlled by a playlist file, which format
is well known and can be generated easily from external programs (e.g. 
XML based):

  - HDTV 1280x720p fullscreen playback of MPEG4 video AVI files
  - JavaScript enabled HTML content (some dynamics with DHTML & CSS)
  - non-interactive Flash movies (.swf)

Switching between the single items must be seamless without black 
frames, time gaps or jerking. Full control over the application (e.g. by
network connection or something like that) would be great.

Does anybody know existent open source programs which fulfill these 
requirements? I know there are dozens playing video, but do they "play"
HTML and Flash as well?

My googling wasn't successful, so my plan is to write a correspondent 
application myself (resp. integrating several components, e.g. combining
xine/mplayer with an Mozilla engine held together by a Gtk2 Perl program
using GtkMozEmbed). But probably someone of you knows existent 
solutions, which I at least could use as a base.

I appreciate any feedback, e.g. pointers to websites with detailed 
descriptions of potential applications would be great!

Thanks in advance,

Joern
